Instructions

Prepare the sauce: Add the soaked or boiled cashews, cilantro, water, garlic, lime zest, lime juice, salt, and black pepper to a blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy to form the cilantro lime sauce.
Cook the noodles: Cook the tofu shirataki noodles according to the package instructions. Drain them well and return to the cooking pot.
Combine and heat: Pour the cilantro lime sauce over the noodles in the pot. Toss the noodles and sauce to combine thoroughly. Heat the mixture over low heat for 1 to 2 minutes until the sauce thickens and everything is warmed through.
Serve: Remove from heat and serve immediately for a fresh, creamy vegan noodle dish.

Notes

If your blender isn’t high-powered (like a Blendtec or Vitamix), soak the cashews in water for 6 hours or overnight, then drain before blending to ensure smoothness.
Alternatively, boil the cashews in water for 10 to 15 minutes until very tender, then drain before use.
To substitute noodles, thin rice noodles can be used instead of tofu shirataki spaghetti.
Use freshly zested and juiced lime for the best flavor.
Adjust salt and pepper to taste depending on your preference.
