Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium (about 1 pound) Sweet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons Tahini
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon (grated) Fresh ginger
- 1 clove (minced) Fresh garlic
- 2 teaspoons Rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Avocado oil
- 2 stalks (sliced thinly) Green onions
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Cilantro
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Black pepper
Instructions
Peel the sweet potatoes and use a spiralizer to create thin noodles. If you don’t have a spiralizer, you can use a julienne peeler as an alternative.
In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut aminos, tahini, sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, and rice vinegar. Set the sesame ginger sauce aside.
Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the sweet potato noodles to the skillet. Toss frequently and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the noodles are tender but still slightly firm (al dente).
Lower the heat and pour the sesame ginger sauce over the cooked sweet potato noodles. Toss gently to coat the noodles evenly with the sauce.
Season the noodles with a pinch of salt and black pepper, as needed.
Remove the skillet from heat and add the sliced green onions, sesame seeds, and chopped cilantro on top for garnish.
Serve immediately while warm. Optionally, serve with additional cilantro or sesame seeds on the side.
