Raw Pad Thai
One of my favourite Melbourne restaurants is Yong Green Food and in particular the raw Pad Thai dish which is full of zing and spice!. This version uses raw kelp noodles which has quickly become a staple in my kitchen, you could of course use cooked rice noodles or zucchini noodles in their place. If you forget to soak the cashews overnight, you can always soak them in hot water for half an hour and the sauce will work just as well.
