Ginger and Lime Coconut Noodles


This is inspired from Raw Food; Real World's Spicy Peanut Coconut Noodles, but using ingredients I had handy.
Spiced nuts:
1/2 cup macadamia nuts, chopped
1/4 cup raw honey
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/8 teaspoon sea salt


Stir all in a bowl until well mixed. Spread mixture out evenly up the sides of the bowl. Place in dehydrator 8 hours - 48 hours, or for desired amount. (The longer you dehydrate, the crunchier it will get.)


Dressing:
juice from 1/2 lime
3 Tablespoons raw almond butter
2 Tablespoons braggs
1 Tablespoon fresh ginger, minced (or substitute ground in a pinch)
1 teaspoon - 2 Tablespoons chili flakes, to desired taste
1-2 Tablespoons raw agave nectar
2 Tablespoons raw sesame oil


Mix all until well combined. Just before serving toss with:


meat from 1 young coconut, cut into noodle strips
1 cup jicama, matchsticks
1 mango, matchsticks (the greener the mango, the better)
1 cup radishes, matchsticks
1 cup cilanto, chopped
1/2 cup basil, chopped


Sprinkle with candied macadamia nuts just before serving.
