Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Zucchini
- 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
- 6 stalks Scallions
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Ginger
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds
Instructions
First, wash the zucchini thoroughly and cut off the ends.
Using a spiralizer, create zucchini noodles and set them aside in a large bowl.
Prepare the scallions by slicing them thinly, separating the white and green parts. Mince the garlic and ginger and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the sesame oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the white parts of the scallions, garlic, and ginger. Sauté for about 2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and red pepper flakes to the skillet. Stir to combine the ingredients and let it simmer for 1 minute.
Add the zucchini noodles to the skillet, tossing them gently to ensure they are coated in the scallion sauce. Cook for 3-4 minutes, just until the noodles are tender but still crisp.
Add the green parts of the scallions and give everything a final toss.
Transfer the noodles to serving bowls and sprinkle with sesame seeds for garnish.
Serve immediately as a fresh, low-carb alternative to traditional noodles.
