Ingredients

  • 2-3 kohlrabi
  • 4 oz. cooked (and cooled) rice noodles
  • 1/2 jalapeño, sliced and/or a few thai red chiles
  • 1/2 avocado, sliced
  • herbs: cilantro, basil, and/or mint
  • handful of crushed peanuts
  • sriracha, to taste
  • extra lime slices
  • optional: tofu or a protein of your choice
  • dressing:
  • juice and zest of 1 lime
  • 2 tablespoons fish sauce (or soy sauce or tamari)
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 clove of garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon minced ginger

Preparation

Step 1

Mix the dressing together.
Peel the kohlrabi if you like, (I just try to peel off the fibrous nubby sections and I leave the more tender skin on). Use a mandoline to slice kohlrabi into planks and then slice the planks into thin matchsticks. Toss the sliced kohlrabi with the dressing and chile peppers. Chill for about 30 minutes.

Step 2

Toss the marinated kohlrabi with noodles, avocado, herbs, crushed peanuts and sriracha. Taste and adjust seasonings. Serve cold or at room temp, with extra lime slices on the side.
