Here is another delicious Asian-inspired stir fry. The thinner you slice your meat and vegetables, the tastier this meal seems to be (of course, I’m never patient enough to really slice everything as thinly as I like it). I absolutely love the use of Kelp Noodles for paleo chow mein dishes because their flavor and slightly crunchy texture works so well (plus it’s a great way to get my weekly dose of iodine-rich seaweed!). I also love any meal that I can prepare in advance and then quickly cook up in the evening.Serves 2-3.

Using kelp noodles to replace pasta is a fine idea.

Kelp is a large type of seaweed, and in fact, there are approximately thirty different types of kelp. Kelp has many uses and one of them is as a diet supplement. It is classified as algae and is very rich in nutrients. The health benefits of including kelp as a dietary supplement are well documented. These include the

• strengthening of the circulatory system,
• provision of strong bones and teeth,
• cancer fighting benefits and
• reducing the risk of strokes and heart disease.

The large concentration of iodine found in Kelp helps to stimulate the thyroid gland and control metabolism.

Kelp grows in oceans and so is rich in all the nutrients which the ocean contains, most of which are needed also by the human body in various amounts. These include over 70 minerals, trace elements, enzymes, iodine, potassium, magnesium, calcium, iron and 21 amino acids. The complex range of nutrients makes it an essential promoter of glandular health. Kelp is also a natural antibiotic because of its iodine content, which helps the body fight bad bacteria and infections. Learn more about kelp. Original here.
