Kelp Asian Salad Bowl

Ma Nourriture

Bestie discovered kelp noodles after getting confused about the seaweed pasta a friend had recommended. With almost no calories, some nutrition and nothing to react to, we had to try it. Also, anything that's almost-pasta makes our heads turn.

In this case, we didn't find it pasta-like at all. It's quite crunchy. No matter what you do, it doesn't get softer and, trust me, I tried. Now I just value the crunch it provides to salads. Since we can't have raw carrots or cucumber, it's a pretty good cookaround! Specifically in this Asian-inspired salad bowl, it's a great alternative rice if you want to lower your carb/cal intake.

Swapsies

! Skip the egg if you're allergic.

! Garlic is a high FODMAP food. I don't react to it, but if you're not sure what you're reacting to, garlic and onions are well-known offenders. You can still use garlic-infused olive oil, and replace the fresh garlic with chives and/or mustard seeds.

♡ We swapped soy sauce for tamari, which is gluten- and fructan-free.

♡ We used kelp noodles instead of carrot and cucumber strips. They're as crunchy but without the sensitivities.
