Instructions
Step 1
Place the cashews, melted coconut oil, soy sauce, hot sauce, agave, sesame oil, cilantro, scallion, and orange zest in a food processor.
Step 2
Process for 10 seconds to 30 seconds depending how chunky you like your pesto. Less time = more chunky.
Step 3
In a skillet over medium high heat, melt some coconut oil.
Step 4
Place the sweet potato noodles in the pan for 2-3 minutes, using tongs to toss them frequently.
Step 5
Place 1 tablespoon of water into the pan and continue to cook and toss for another 2 minutes until the noodles are softened, but still have a crunch to them!
Step 6
Turn the heat to low and place most the pesto in the pan. I always reserve some pesto for topping because well, toppings are my jam.
Step 7
Continue to toss the noodles until the the pesto is coating the noodles, about 30 seconds.
Step 8
Toss the cashews and chopped scallions in the pan and turn off the heat. Continue to toss a couple more times and then transfer them to bowls.
Step 9
Top with a dollop of the remaining pesto (its sooo good) and any remaining cashews from the pan.
Step 10
Zest some orange on the top for garnish.
