Umami Kale and Kelp Noodles
New in the webshop are these amazing products from Dark Horse Organics – “Food for the Lightbody.” Everything they make is awesome, but my current favourite is the Umami Bouillon. I love adding a little to pumpkin seed butter and having it as a dip or dressing. Pair it with the Cortido Sauerkraut from Loving Foods, and the resulting flavours are crazy! Total taste bomb. Also included here is a Kelp Noodle preparation tip: don’t eat them straight out the packet! They are not good like that, they taste like rubber bands. Everyone asks what the best way to prepare them is: below is what is, in my experience, the best way to get them nice and soft really fast.
Recipe Ingredients
- 340 g kelp noodles
- 1 whole lemon juiced
- 1 T tamari
- 50 g kale
- 2 T extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 t salt
- 2 T pumpkin seed butter
- 2 T hemp oil
- 1 t Umami bouillon
- 1/2 t kelp powder
- 1 t apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 t Lion’s mane mushroom extract
- 2 T water
- 100 g Cortido sauerkraut loving foods
- 100 g mixed beansprouts

Recipe Instructions
- Rinse the kelp noodles well in warm water. Chop them up with scissors. Put them in a bowl with the juice of one lemon and 1T tamari. Massage the noodles in the marinade, as if you’re making sauerkraut. Within a minute, they will change texture and become very soft. Leave them in the marinade while you make the rest of the dish.
- Tear the kale into small pieces, and put them in a separate bowl with the olive oil and salt. Your kale also needs massaging (don’t we all!). Spend a few minutes breaking it down with your hands, so it’s edible and lost its crunch.
- Make your dressing in a small bowl, by mixing the pumpkin seed butter, hemp oil, bouillon, kelp, Lion’s mane, apple cider vinegar, and water. Stir it up with a spoon.
- Now you’re ready to assemble the dish. Drain the marinade from the kelp noodles (I pour it off and store it in a jar in the fridge, to add it into a cracker batter, it’s a shame to throw it out). In a large bowl, mix the kelp noodles, kale, sauerkraut, beansprouts, and dressing. Mix it thoroughly and it’s ready to serve.
- Leftovers can be stored in the fridge in an airtight container, and keep well, for up to a week.

Hi Kate,
Thanks for sharing recipies.
one question: they say on Wikipedia (simplest researche) that Kelp noodles, are semi-transparent noodles made from the jelly-like extract left after steaming edible kelp. Does it mean they have been cooked ? Can we consider this is still raw food in the process ?
thank you
Have an ice day
