Low Carb Kelp Noodles with Peanut Sauce

In the 1980s, when I was in New York City at college, I had an engrossing love affair. My amour and comfort in the city? Noodles with peanut sauce!

Chinese takeout was on speed dial back in the day. Restaurant noodles to go and my studies went hand-in-hand.

Low Carb Kelp Noodles with Peanut Sauce

I almost had to give up this culinary romance when I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease in the 1990s and went on the Gluten Free Diet.

Low and behold, in 2010 I discovered kelp noodles, a truly magical food made of seaweed. From this life changing find, my Low Carb Kelp Noodles with Peanut Sauce recipe was born.

Noodle Recipes Asian

I’m a sucker for noodle recipes that are Asian and am currently developing a Vietnamese Noodles with Sweet Chili sauce recipe –sugar free of course.

That’s the issue with so many Asian noodle recipes, there’s quite a bit of added sugar, which I diligently try to keep out of my Low Carb Diet.

Peanut Sauce for Noodles

By utilizing my favorite sweetener –stevia, my Low Carb Kelp Noodles with Peanut Sauce recipe is sugar free.

Noodle Recipes Homemade

Delicious and healthy are the best things about my homemade noodle recipes, and the same goes for homemade food in general.

We can control exactly what’s in it, warding off unwanted sweeteners and nasty chemical additives.

Healthy Noodle Recipes Simple

Healthy noodle recipes are easy because all you need are Low Carb Veggie Noodles or Kelp Noodles smothered in healthy sauce.

Still, gluten free sesame noodles will always have my heart! I hope you enjoy this copycat recipe for Chinese food as much as we do!

Please note, though, that if you don’t soak your kelp noodles properly, they will have a seaweed-ish type crunch to them.

If you follow the steps to soften them, this sesame kelp noodles dish will be a special kind of healthy magic.

Good noodle recipes that are both gluten free and vegetarian are not that easy to find.

If you can eat soy, this Spicy Peanut Tofu Bowl from the gorgeous website, This Savory Vegan, would be AMAZING over my Sesame Kelp Noodles recipe. Just be sure to use gluten free hoisin sauce if you make this heavenly combo.

Gomasio

Healthy need not stop at condiments. Calcium-rich sesame seeds are the star of this family favorite. As you can see from the photo above, my Gomasio recipe is easy enough to have your kids put on a chef’s hat.

I started making Gomasio for the boys when they were toddlers, and they soon took over the job for me, standing at the stove, stirring in their striped pajamas.

We sprinkle Gomasio on everything from kale, to noodle recipes that are Asian, and anything that deserves a little healthy crunch!
