Instructions
Using a spiralizer, create zucchini noodles from the 3 medium zucchinis and set aside.
Mince the garlic cloves and ginger. Chop the green onions, separating the white and green parts.
In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium-high heat.
Add the ground pork to the skillet and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Break the pork into smaller pieces as it cooks.
Add the minced garlic, ginger, and the white parts of the green onions to the skillet. Sauté for 2 minutes, or until fragrant.
Stir in the soy sauce, sugar-free hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and water. Mix well to combine.
Season the sauce with red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper, then let it simmer on low heat for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
In a separate pan, gently sauté the zucchini noodles (zoodles) over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes or until they are tender but still slightly crisp.
Serve the zucchini noodles topped with the pork sauce.
Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and the green parts of the chopped green onions before serving.
