Kelp Noodles and Tofu!

Last week, I finally had the opportunity to experiment with the kelp noodles I picked up at the Gluten Free Fair! That's right, kelp noodles, as in sea kelp. Kelp is a type of seaweed that is packed with more than 70 minerals and 21 amino acids. They aid the body in digestion and increase metabolism as well as work to strengthen bones and teeth! They are relatively flavorless and if eaten cold offer a crunch whereas when warm offer a more typical noodle like consistency.
Here is the dish and the quick simple steps/ingredients to success!



Ingredients:
1 bag of kelp noodles
1 whole red pepper, chopped
1/4 cup of kalamata olives
1 container of firm tofu, chopped into eatable pieces
1 can of chickpeas
1 tablespoon of sesame seeds
3 tablespoons of rice wine vinegar
3 tablespoon of tamari

Cooking:
Combine the kelp noodles, chopped red pepper, kalamata olives, and chickpeas in a bowl. Mix in 2 tablespoons of rice wine vinegar and 2 tablespoons of tamari. Set bowl aside.
In a pan over medium heat, cook pieces of tofu in sesame seeds and remaining rice wine vinegar and tamari until tofu pieces are golden brown around the edges.
Add tofu into the bowl set aside, mix and enjoy!

Hope you find this to be as tasty, nutritious, and delicious as I did :)
