SZECHUAN NOODLES (RAW VEGAN)

Steps:

• Place the garlic and ginger in a food processor fitted with a steel blade. Add the vegetable oil, tahini, peanut butter, soy sauce, sherry, sherry vinegar, honey, chili oil, sesame oil, and ground peppers. Puree until smooth.
• Rinse and drain the kelp noodles in a colander, place it in a large bowl, toss with 3/4 of the sauce. Add the red and yellow bell peppers and scallions; toss well. Serve warm, cold or room temperature. The remaining sauce may be added, as needed, to moisten the pasta. I love adding some crunch, so I usually throw some chopped peanuts, or blanched broccoli bits, crumbled crisp onions - anything really!
• If you're not into spice, reduce it - although I personally feel that the spice adds another layer of amazingness! =).
