Instructions
For the raw version:
- Use a vegetable spiralizer with the smallest size blade to make your parsnip noodles. Set aside.
For the warm salad version:
- Use a vegetable spiralizer with the smallest size blade to make your parsnip noodles. Add 1/2 tbsp soy sauce to a large saute pan over low-medium heat. Add the parsnip noodles and cook, covered, for 7 – 8 minutes, turning with tongs every few minutes until they are softened but still al dente.
To make the dressing:
- In a large bowl, toss together the extra virgin olive oil, soy sauce, fish sauce, lime juice, garlic, chilli flakes and ginger. Whisk together until combined.
To serve:
- Add the parsnip noodles to the large bowl with the dressing. Toss together with tongs. Divide between serving plates and garnish with the chopped green onions.
Notes
You won’t be able to use the lower, thinner ends of the parsnips in a spiralizer. Cut those off and reserve for soups or stocks. You need to have approximately 12 oz of spiralized parsnip noodles for this recipe.
