Murder Your Vampire Raw Bowl: Kelp, Kale and Garlicky Tahini 

by Sarah Farsh, June 3rd 2018

• 1 bag of Sea Tangle Kelp Noodles
• 2 TBS Bragg's Liquid Aminos
• about 3 cups hot water (just need enough to soak kelp noodles in)
• 1 cup shelled edamame (I used bagged frozen, if you can't have soy I suggest fresh green sweet peas)
• fresh green kale leaves (I used bagged that's already washed/chopped)
• Optional Garnish: raw shiitake mushrooms, sesame seeds, Persian sumac or paprika 
• Garlicky Tahini: 
• 3 TBS raw tahini paste
• Juice of 2 lemons
• 4-5 cloves fresh garlic
• 2 TBS nutritional yeast 
• 1 tsp Bragg's liquid aminos
• 1 tsp coconut palm syrup (or agave)
• 1 tsp cayenne pepper (leave out if you're a baby)
• 1 tsp coriander
• pinch salt/pepper
• few drops of water if needed to help blend in blender\
• In a VitaMix or high powered blender - blend all ingredients together to make garlicky tahini dressing. 

Open bag of Kelp Noodles and drain out water that is inside of bag. Place noodles into a bowl and poor 2 TBS BLA and tea pot of hot water on top of noodles to help them soften. Let them sit for a few minutes. Meanwhile, make your tahini dressing following "Garlicky Tahini" line. In a separate bowl, toss half of the dressing with fresh kale to make salad - message your kale with the dressing to help soften and put aside (salad is ready to eat). 

Drain water from kelp noodles, pat dry with paper towel before pouring reminder Garlicky Tahini dressing on kelp noodles - mix well. Add edamame beans and optional garnish provided in lineup. Plate and enjoy!
