I made an amazing Asian salad last week with Kelp noodles and miso-peanut dressing.
Kelp Noodles are soft, water-based "noodles" made from sea kelp. They contain only three ingredients: Water, Kelp and Sodium Alginate
(made from brown seaweed). You can generally find them in any supermarket next to tofu or near packaged salad products.
I know we're not calorie counting here, but a whole package has 12 calories. That's right, 12.
You can use kelp noodles to make spaghetti, stir fry, salads, soups and more. I personally like them best prepared with Asian flavors (they remind me of glass noodles).
They're water based and not starchy or gummy like wheat noodles, which apparently means you can boil them in soup and they stay crunchy.
I have yet to try heating them. I think I'll try stir fry next!
