Woman Happily Eating SaladWe are honored to have an original recipe from the beautiful and talented Rochelle Vincente Von K!  She’s a vocalist, musician, chef and chocolate maker extraordinaire (her chocolate was served at the Oscars this year!) Here goes.

Soft Cheezy Kelp Noodles

Thai Style!

Part 1

Take one packet of Kelp Noodles – use plain (not the green tea, which gives an odd bitterness .. if that’s all you have  then add extra coconut sugar to counteract) and soak them in salty water for one hour.

Take 2 cups cashews (presoaked for 20 minutes) 1 whole lemon (rind removed) 1 handful of fresh coriander, 1 sq inch fresh ginger, 1 sq cm fresh turmeric (or curry powder also works very well) 1 – 2 tbsp coconut sugar, 1 tsp onion powder, Sea salt to taste (I add a lot, love my salt)

Take 1 dash of coconut aminos Pinch of cayenne pepper, Pinch of nutritional yeast (a lot works too!) 1 cup spring / filtered water Whatever else tickles your fancy spice wise.. cumin, dried garlic etc is great…

Place all ingredients in blender and buzz

Taste and add anything extra

Consistency is much runnier than a nut cheese, but not milky .. if it’s too thick add extra water and buzz again

Part 2

Pour into glass bowl

Cut handful of fresh broccoli Cut handful of fresh mushrooms (any type)

Place in cheesy mixture

Part 3

Add in your  thoroughly soaked kelp noodles

Massage everything together so that the noodles are under the surface of the mixture

Pop in dehydrator at 105 for 1 hour – or anywhere between 1 – 3 hours

Stir every once in awhile (not essential)

Remove and sprinkle with black sesame seeds & freshly cut coriander

Also really nice to mix in with some salad … or place on a bed of salad

Serves 2, or 1 if you are super hungry!

Wash down with some Lover Raw Chocolate  while listening to this amazingly awesome musical hit by the chef herself!!! 

Enjoy !
