Pad Thai with Kelp Noodles

Although traditional peanut sauce can be complicated to make, my version is pared down to the basics. Because raw peanut butter doesn't taste very good, I use almond butter, seasoned with coconut oil, lemon, jalapeno, and coriander. Just blend and toss.

Ingredients

sauce:

1/2 c almond butter

1 cup coconut oil
1/4 cup braggs
1/2 cup lemon juice (please prepare juice for me from fresh lemons)
2 Tablespoons jalapeno pepper, fresh
2 teaspoon ground coriander
1 1/2 cup filtered water

noodles:

1/2 cup fresh basil
2 cup shredded cabbage (pre shredding will be helpful)
4 x 12 oz packages kelp noodles

Instructions

Blend all sauce ingredients and toss with noodle ingredients.
