I love noodles! Stir fry, noodle soup you name it! Since grains and gluten are not optimal for our gut health, it’s saddening me that I’ll have to give up all the noodle dishes (of course once in a while I could eat them as some treats). But all thanks to kelp noodles, I gotta enjoy my stir fry noodle dish again 😀

I got mine at Zion Market, a local Korean market, but I’m sure you can find it at any health food store. But be sure to check out your local Asian market before heading to Whole Foods. Whole Foods carries Sea Tangle brand, which costs at least around $6 for 1lb package. The one I got from Korean market cost about $4 with amount twice from what WF carries. Granted, the ingredient list is exactly the same: dried kelp, cooking sodium alginate, purified water.
