Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized Sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons Low sodium soy sauce or coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
- 1 large Garlic clove
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds
- 1 stalk Green onion
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Neutral cooking oil (e.g., avocado oil)
Instructions
Peel the sweet potatoes and use a spiralizer to create noodles. If you don't have a spiralizer, you can use a julienne peeler instead.
In a small bowl, prepare the sesame ginger sauce by whisking together sesame oil, freshly grated ginger, low sodium soy sauce or coconut aminos, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and maple syrup. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat and add the neutral cooking oil.
Add the sweet potato noodles to the skillet and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are tender but still slightly firm. Avoid overcooking to maintain texture.
Lower the heat and pour the sesame ginger sauce over the noodles. Toss gently to coat the noodles evenly and let the sauce warm up for 1-2 minutes.
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the noodles to serving plates.
Sprinkle sesame seeds, sliced green onions, and chopped cilantro on top for garnish.
Serve immediately and enjoy this healthy, low sodium dish!
