Spicy Sesame Peanut Zoodles
Here's what you'll need:
- 2 large zucchinis or a store-bought package of zoodles
- 1/4 cup of creamy peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons of rice wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons of low sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon of toasted sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon of Sriracha sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- Chopped peanuts, green onion and sesame seeds for garnish
- Optional: Shredded cooked salmon
Instructions:
- (Skip the next two steps if you purchased store bought zoodles.) Trim off the ends of the zucchinis. Using a vegetable spiralizer, cut the zucchini into long thick spaghetti like strips. Take your kitchen scissors and cut the long strands into pieces that are about 7-8 inches long, making them easier to eat.
- Dry your zoodles by placing them spread out on a layer of paper towels. Lightly salt and cover with another layer of paper towels. Lightly pat down sandwiching the noodles; then set aside for 20-30 minutes allowing them to dry out access water.
- Whisk together the peanut butter, vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, Sriracha and salt in a large bowl.
- Add the zoodles to the bowl and toss.
- Garnish with peanuts, green onion and sesame seeds. (I topped mine with leftover shredded salmon.)
I found this recipe on The Lemon Bowl and I didn't adjust a thing - it was delicious! This is a healthy thing to whip up for lunch as well as a great side for dinner.
