Heal Through Food

I've always enjoyed those Thai dishes which have a mixture of nutty/spicyness. So I figured why not make it myself. Through a little research, this is what I was able to come up with. It blends the typical Thai nut sauce in a nutritious Asian style salad. I could eat it every week!

Thai Noodle Salad
(6 Servings)

• 8oz Udon Noodles or Whole Wheat Noodles
• 2 Cups Napa Cabbage (chopped)
• 1/2 Red Pepper (diced)
  
• Sm Carrot (shredded)
  

Sauce

• 1Tbs Fresh Ginger Root (shredded)
• 3 Cloves Garlic (shredded)
  
• 1/2 Cup Scallons (chopped)
• 3 Tbs Peanut Butter
• 3 Tbs Tahini (Sesame Butter)
• 2 Tbs Rice Vinegar
• 2 Tbs Sesame Seeds (Dry Pan Roasted)
• 1/3 Cup Hot Water

Instructions:
Cook noodles as directed. Cut up cabbage and pepper, and shred the carrot. Put in a large enough bowl to mix with sauce later. Take sesame seeds and place in heated dry pot or pan, cover and shake around until seeds are slighly browned to bring out the flavor (approx 3 minutes). Combine all sauce ingredence in a blender and blend until smooth. Toss sauce with vegetables and noodles then chill in refridgerator. After 2 hours take out, toss some more and enjoy!

Nutritional Information:
With the sesame seeds, tahini, and peanut butter you get approximately 10g of protein per serving and plenty of omega 3 & especially omega 6 essential fatty acids. Along with that you'll obtain vitamin E, B6, niacin, and a high amount of calcium in the sesame seeds!
Red pepper is loaded with vitamin C.
This meal is packed with complex carbs and will provide you with enough energy to get through your day and then some!

Best wishes and have a great day!
