I received a really fun gift for my birthday called a "spiralizer." This hand-cranked "machine" transforms fruit and vegetables into noodles! It inspires food creativity- my daughter sauteed apple spirals with sugar and cinnamon for a great oatmeal topper, I made cucumber ribbons for a cucumber salad and just tonight we made these zucchini noodles. They tasted perfect with our korean beef and rice!
Recipe adapted from here
Ingredients
Sesame dressing:
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp creamy peanut butter
- 1 clove minced garlic
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 Tbsp honey
Zoodles
- 4-5 medium zucchini
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- *optional 2 Tbsp sesame seeds
Instructions
- Whisk all the ingredients for your dressing together in a small bowl and microwave for 45 seconds to combine. Set aside.
- Using your Spiralizer, prepare zucchini into long noodles or ribbons.
- Heat olive oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add "zoodles" to skillet and saute for 3-4 minutes until they are slightly softened. You can skip this step altogether and serve the "zoodles" raw as well!
- Zucchini will release liquids, so when your "zoodles" are done cooking to the desired amount, drain before tossing with marinade.
- Toss with marinade and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
