Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 to 2 zucchinis washed
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 3 tablespoons tamari or Bragg
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons Tahini sesame paste
  • 1 teaspoon Truvia
  • 1 tablespoon finely grated ginger*
  • 1 teaspoon finely minced garlic**
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha or chili paste
  • 1 green onion sliced thinly
  • Sesame Seeds

Instructions

  • Use a spiralizer (see below) to create 2 to 3 cups of raw zucchini noodles.
  • Bring a pot of water to boil. Add the zucchini noodles and cook until barely tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water. Set aside.
  • In a bowl, combine the sesame oil, tamari, rice vinegar, tahini, sweetener, ginger, garlic, and sriracha or chili paste. Stir to combine.
  • Pour this sauce over your cooked zoodles and toss.
  • Place in two serving bowls and top with green onion slices and sesame seeds

Notes

* You can sub ½ teaspoon dried, ground ginger.
** If you have trouble with garlic being too "hot", remove the center green part of the garlic clove. That can help.
