Preparation

Step 1

Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the noodles just until al dente, about 4-5 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water, separating the noodles with your hands. Set aside in a large bowl.
Place 1 cup of the roasted almonds in the bowl of a food processor and blend for 5 minutes, scraping down the sides and the bottom of the bowl half way through. When smooth, add the Almond Breeze Almondmilk Coconutmilk Original, fish sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger and lime juice and whiz to combine. Add half of the dressing to the noodles and stir to coat. Add the green onion, carrots and red bell pepper to the noodles, add the rest of the dressing and mix. Garnish with the reserved chopped almonds and cilantro and refrigerate until ready to serve at room temperature.
