Vegan Black Rice Noodle Salad

One of the last recipes from my vegan challenge that I will share with you is this black rice noodle salad. I bought black rice noodles because I thought they look super interesting. Actually, they are not that special. They are simply rice noodles mad with black and brown rice flour, but because of their colour, I think they give something special to a dish.

I kept my black rice noodle salad ultra simple with just lots of green vegetables. At the Asian supermarket (in the Netherlands) I found seaweed salad without FODMAP ingredients and also candied ginger that was low FODMAP. When you buy these two ingredients make sure to check the ingredients list for FODMaps. For the rice noodles I made a simple dressing with rice vinegar, soy sauce and sesame seeds. Very quick to make and very tasty!

What do you need (for 2 persons)

• 120 g black rice noodles (you can also use normal rice noodles or soba noodles*)
• 200 g cucumber, in slices
• 100 g edamame beans (soy beans)(low FODMAP up to 50 g per portion)
• 1 green bell pepper, in strips
• 100 g seaweed salad**
• Candied ginger
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp rice vinegar (check the ingredients, some contain fructose)
• 1 tbsp sesame seeds

*Soba noodles are low FODMAP up to 60 g per portion. They are not gluten-free and therefore not suitable for people with a gluten-intolerance. Rice noodles are gluten-free.
**Make sure to check the ingredients. Seaweed salad has not been tested on FODMAPs yet and therefore it is not certain that this is low FODMAP. Nori sheets are low FODMAP and therefore seaweed is expected to be low FODMAP too. Therefore, you could test this product. If you are still in the elimination phase it is better to wait for the test phase to test this food.

How to prepare the black rice noodle salad

1. Bring a pan with water to boil. Boil the rice noodles according to the instructions on the package.
2. Drain the rice noodles. Add the soy sauce, rice vinegar and sesame seeds and stir together.
3. Divide the black rice noodles over two bowls and place the vegetables around it.

Enjoy!
