Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Sweet potatoes
- 1 tsp Sesame oil
- 3 tbsp Low-sodium soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1.5 tbsp Rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp Fresh ginger
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1 tbsp Maple syrup
- 1 tbsp Toasted sesame seeds
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 1 small Red bell pepper
- 2 cups Spinach
Instructions
Peel the sweet potatoes and spiralize them into noodles using a spiralizer. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the sesame oil, low-sodium soy sauce (or tamari), rice vinegar, grated fresh ginger, minced garlic, and maple syrup to create the sesame ginger sauce.
Heat a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the sesame oil and allow it to warm for about 30 seconds.
Add the spiralized sweet potato noodles to the skillet and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender but still slightly crisp.
While the noodles are cooking, thinly slice the red bell pepper and chop the green onions into small pieces.
Add the red bell pepper strips, spinach, and sesame ginger sauce to the skillet. Toss everything together and cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to coat the noodles and vegetables evenly.
Remove the skillet from heat and divide the noodles into two serving bowls.
Garnish with chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately and enjoy!
