Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams rice noodles
- 2 whole nori sheets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
- 1 large carrot, julienned
- 1 medium zucchini, julienned
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon kelp powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 100 grams cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 stalks green onions, sliced

Instructions
Begin by preparing the rice noodles according to package instructions, typically soaking them in hot water until softened, then draining and setting aside.
Tear the nori sheets into small pieces and grind them in a spice grinder or with a mortar and pestle until you have a coarse powder; set aside.
In a large pan or wok, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the julienned carrot and zucchini to the pan, and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until just tender.
In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, lemon juice, kelp powder, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper to make the sauce.
Add the sauce to the pan, followed by the softened rice noodles. Toss everything together to combine well and heat through, about 2 minutes.
Next, gently fold in the cherry tomatoes and sliced green onions, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until the tomatoes are slightly softened.
Remove the pan from heat and sprinkle the ground nori, fresh cilantro, and toasted sesame seeds over the noodles.
Serve immediately, distributing the vegan seafood noodles into bowls and enjoying the savory, seafood-inspired flavors.
