Spicy Sesame Peanut Zoodles

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:

  1. (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.
  2. 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.
  3. Whisk together the peanut butter, vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, Sriracha and salt in a large bowl.
  4. Add the zoodles to the bowl and toss. 
  5. 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.
