Recipe Directions

I just made up this new recipie that is out of this world in flavor!

Cashew Chow Mein

Cashew Sauce

1/2 cup RAW peanut butter or RAW cashew butter or Raw Almond Butter 1/2 cup warm water 3 Tablespoons Nama Shoyu 3 Tablespoons RAW Agave 2 cloves RAW garlic 2 Tablespoons toasted sesame seed oil Or raw (raw lacks the cooked flavor) 1/2 inch to 1 inch RAW ginger or to taste 1 teaspoon RAW apple cider vinegar

Blend all together.

Then take one package of RAW Kelp noodles and rinse them. Cut them up into bite size pieces. Toss with the sauce. Add cashews and fresh veges of choice like mushrooms, zucchini, snow peas, etc. Put in the dehydrator for at least one half hour to warm. The noodles become soft and take on the flavor of the sauce. Sprinkle with cilantro or red pepper flakes.

I use Raw peanutbutter or cashew butter. David Wolf sells it. I agree to go with quality. You can also substitute raw almond butter.

I make Killer Peanutbutter Cups, all Raw using his peanut butter and high quality raw ingredients.

As for the toasted sesame seed oil. Yes it is cooked. But so are most of the seasonings out there. Many many raw recipies used cooked seasonings. Liquid smoke, for eggplant bacon. They are forms of chemicals or cooking procedures.

I choose to have a little flavor vs. being legalistic about recipies. It appears from most other sites others feel the same way. Most raw books use questionable ingredients like braggs, some say agave is not truely raw and cashews are questionable. You have to choose if you are going to be legalistic about every single ingredient or not. I personally try to purchase the best freshest, organic food from the best possible sources all raw if possible. If I can't afford to purchse all organic, I don't shoot myself in the foot. I do what I can afford as I am sure others out there do. We all do the best we can possible do without going crazy.

So Please don't bite my head off. I posted this for your enjoyment, not a tounge lashing.

Raw food is about peace, love, awareness of what is best for our bodies, not about creating bad feelings. Follow your heart, be kind, show compassion for others. Live to the best ability that you are able to.

I hope you enjoy the recipie.

This sounds really good. I have a few questions though: what are kelp noodles? are they raw? and where can I get them?

I think I will make the sauce with raw cashew butter, salt instead of Nama Shoyu, dates instead of agave and virgin cold pressed sesame oil instead of toasted to make it truly raw. Thanks for the idea!

I finally found kelp noodles so I could try this. It was great! I even find it's better the next day since the noodles absorb more sauce and flavor.

This sounds so good, i am going to try it tomorrow. I was getting bored of my usual kelp noodle salad. But hey--peanut butter and toasted sesame oil are not raw, my dear. For those who are not picky about this sort of thing, these two ingredients will make the most authentic "sesame noodles" taste (you know, the stuff they give you with your Chinese food order in NYC when you get it delivered at 4 am)...but if you want 100% uncompromisingly raw, stick with a reputable raw cashew butter and try to find a raw sesame oil. I'm not sure if that exists...but i'm going to look for it.

They are raw. They are sold in the refrigerator section. They look clear, do not have much flavor at all, They take on the flavor of the topping you put on them. When you find a package at the health food store you put it into a collander and rinse it in the sink. This starts the softening process. Then you toss the sauce on to the noodles. (fresh out of the package without anything on them they are crunchy) The sauce softens the noodles. If you like, it is not necessary, you can warm in the dehydrator for 1/2 hour or so. They will soften even more. My daughter likes it when the sauce is made with warm water. I liked dehydrating it slightly to soften the vegis of choice. I hope this helps.
