Almond Butter Pad Thai Sauce Recipe Kelp Noodles

Almond Butter Pad Thai Sauce (Kelp Noodles)

This Almond Butter Pad Thai Sauce comes together in around 5 minutes. It is soy-free, refined sugar-free, and without fish sauce. You could eat it tossed with kelp noodles, carrots, and scallions as a cold dish for summer, but you could also mix the sauce with Pad Thai rice noodles and steamed veggies for a more traditional take on it. It would even be great to use as dip for veggie spring rolls! Whatever you are feeling up to, the sauce is SO GOOD!

Method
 

  1. Add all ingredients to a high speed blender and blend until well combined.
  2. Taste it. Add in additional honey for more sweetness, another 1/2 jalapeno for more spice, 1 TBSP almond butter for more nuttiness, or even another 1-2 TBSP water if you want thinner sauce depending on what you are using it for.
  3. Toss with your prepared kelp noodles, add to a warm pan on the stove & toss with prepared rice noodles, or use as a veggie spring roll dip. ENJOY!

Notes

*Almond Butter Substitute: You can substitute with tahini too if you don't mind it a tad earthier! Tahini brands just vary greatly in sweetness so I made this recipe with almond butter, but tahini would work. You just may want to add in some additional honey to make it sweeter. Trader Joe's Tahini is the sweetest of the tahini brands I buy.
My Kelp Pad Thai Shown In Pictures: I mixed 1/2 the sauce with 1 package of prepared kelp noodles, 3 small shaved carrots, 2 thinly sliced green onions/chives, and served with lime wedges to squeeze in. It made 2 servings.  See how to make kelp noodles in actual post.
