Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free option)
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Peel the sweet potatoes and spiralize them into thin noodles using a spiralizer. If you don't have a spiralizer, you can use a vegetable peeler to create thin strips.
Finely grate the fresh ginger and mince the garlic cloves. Thinly slice the green onions and set aside for garnish.
In a small bowl, whisk together the sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce (or tamari), rice vinegar, honey (or maple syrup), and red chili flakes to create the sesame ginger sauce.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the coconut oil. Once melted, add the sweet potato noodles and a pinch of salt. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the noodles are tender but not mushy.
Pour the sesame ginger sauce over the sautéed sweet potato noodles and toss to coat evenly. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the noodles to serving plates.
Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately and enjoy your nut-free sweet potato noodles!
