I was looking for something different to eat for lunch today and I realized that I had spiralized my sweet potato a few days ago. Many veggie noodles can be tossed in a pinch of salt and oil after being spiralized and stored in the refrigerator for later use. Hardy vegetables like sweet potatoes will last up to a week. Zucchini and other softer veggies are better eaten within a few days. Ready to eat noodles are a time saver.
After a little online searching, I found a recipe at Nouveau Raw (one of my favorite raw food blogs) made a few modifications and yum! Classic asian flavors make this dish a must have in any raw cook’s repertoire.
