Thai Madness! (my favorite dinner of all time)

This dish is my favorite!! Almond coconut sauce. You can make it much more simple by just making rice noodles, sauce and whatever vegetables you have. This recipe is the most complex, because I made it completely raw, and went to the Asian store, so I went nuts on the vegetable availability.

Yields 2 servings
Ingredients
noodles: (or you can have rice noodles and put these ingredients as toppings)
one julienned red pepper
meat from coconut julienned
thinly sliced red onion (marinated in 3 tbsp nama shoyu and olive oil for 20 min) (or sautee if not raw)
herbs:
10 basil leaves thinly sliced
cilantro
5 mint leaves
2 thai red chilies (seeded and chopped)
sauce:
2 tbsp minced ginger
juice of 2 limes
3 tbsp pitted dates or honey
2 lime leaves/basil
1 1/4 cup almond butter
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup coconut milk
toppings:
handful sliced almonds
2 shredded carrot
1 cup sliced pea pods
2 scallions
marinated mushrooms (with onion in nama shoyu and olive oil) 
 
Directions
1) Marinate mushrooms and onion for 20 min
2) Slice other vegetables
3) Prepare garnish onto one plate
4) Blend sauce together
5) Cook noodles if eating noodles! 
*Other vegetable options: bok choy, snap peas, bean sprouts, cucumber
