How to Make Spicy Tahini Kelp Noodles by Chef Scott Biffin- A Delicious, Guilt-Free Recipe

 Looking to spice up your plant-based cooking game? Chef Scott Biffin has just the dish for you—Spicy Tahini Kelp Noodles, a nutritious and flavorful meal that’s as easy to prepare as it is satisfying to eat. Whether you’re a raw food enthusiast or just exploring healthier alternatives to traditional pasta, this dish is a game-changer. In this post, we’ll walk you through Chef Biffin’s vibrant recipe and explain why kelp noodles and tahini make such a dynamic duo.

Why Kelp Noodles?

Kelp noodles are a raw, gluten-free, and low-calorie alternative to wheat or rice noodles. Made from seaweed, they’re rich in iodine and other trace minerals, yet surprisingly neutral in flavor. This makes them the perfect canvas for bold sauces—like the spicy tahini one Chef Scott Biffin is famous for.

Spicy Tahini Kelp Noodles

Ingredients You’ll Need

For the Noodles:

  • 1 pack of kelp noodles (about 12 oz)

  • Juice of 1 lemon

  • 1 tsp baking soda (optional, for softening)

For the Spicy Tahini Sauce:

  • 1/3 cup tahini

  • 2 tbsp tamari or soy sauce

  • 1 tbsp maple syrup

  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar

  • 1–2 cloves garlic (minced)

  • 1–2 tsp sriracha or chili paste (adjust to taste)

  • 1–2 tbsp water (to thin)

Optional Add-ins & Toppings:

  • Julienned carrots

  • Sliced red bell pepper

  • Chopped cucumber

  • Fresh cilantro

  • Toasted sesame seeds

  • Crushed peanuts or cashews

  • Lime wedges

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Soften the Kelp Noodles Kelp noodles can be a bit crunchy right out of the package. To soften them, soak in warm water with the juice of one lemon and a teaspoon of baking soda for 15–20 minutes. Rinse well and drain.

Step 2: Make the Spicy Tahini Sauce In a mixing bowl, whisk together the tahini, tamari, maple syrup, vinegar, garlic, sriracha, and water. Start with one tablespoon of water and add more if the sauce is too thick. The consistency should be creamy but pourable.

Step 3: Combine and Toss In a large bowl, toss the softened kelp noodles with the spicy tahini sauce until well coated. Add in your favorite veggies for crunch, color, and nutrition.

Step 4: Garnish and Serve Top with sesame seeds, chopped nuts, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime. Serve immediately or let sit for 10–15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Chef Scott Biffin’s Pro Tips

  • Flavor Balance: If the sauce is too spicy, add a touch more maple syrup or a splash of coconut milk for creaminess.

  • Meal Prep Friendly: This dish holds well in the fridge for up to 3 days—perfect for a make-ahead lunch.

  • Customize Freely: Add avocado, tofu, or tempeh to boost the protein content.
