Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole Sweet potato (medium-sized)
- 2 tablespoons Sesame oil (divided)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger (grated)
- 3 tablespoons Tamari sauce (gluten-free)
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Tahini
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (toasted)
- 2 stalks Green onion (thinly sliced)
- 0.25 teaspoons Red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Using a spiralizer, create noodle-like strands from the sweet potatoes and set them aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the sweet potato noodles and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften but still retain some crunch. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the remaining tablespoon of sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, tamari sauce, rice vinegar, tahini, and lime juice until smooth.
Pour the sesame ginger sauce over the warm sweet potato noodles. Toss gently to coat the noodles evenly.
Transfer the noodles to serving bowls. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds, sliced green onions, cilantro, and a pinch of red pepper flakes if desired for a touch of heat.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Low Carb Sweet Potato Noodles with Sesame Ginger Sauce!
