Equipment

  • Stir Fry Pan
  • Pepper Crusher

Ingredients

  • 2 medium size zucchini
  • 2 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon minced ginger
  • 1 red chilli, finely chopped
  • ⅓ Cup thinly sliced onion
  • ¼ Cup finely julienned carrot

  • 1 teaspoon red chilli paste
  • 1 teaspoon salt or to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed black pepper or to taste

Instructions

  • Wash the zucchini nicely and wipe them dry with a kitchen towel. Cut off the ends of the zucchini. No need to peel the zucchini.
  • Place it on your spiralizer. Turn the spiralizer and create zucchini noodles. Collect them in a colander lined with a paper towel to absorb moisture.
  • Heat oil in a wok. Add ginger, garlic, red chilli, and onion. Stir Fry them over high heat for 20 – 30 seconds. No need to brown them.
  • Add julienned vegetables, zoodles, vinegar, soya sauce, chilli paste, salt, and stir fry to cook the vegetables for 1 minute. Don’t overcook the zoodles. You want them to be al dente!
  • Add crushed pepper, peanuts, and chopped spring onion or greens like basil or spinach. 
  • Stir Fry Zoodles are ready to serve!

Notes

  • The spiralizer is not the only way to make zoodles. You can also use a julienne maker, food processor, or vegetable peeler to make zucchini noodles. 
  • You can adjust the thickness of zoodles as per personal preference. You can keep them thin like spaghetti or broad like fettuccine. 
  • Please read all my detailed tips related to zoodles shared above in the post.
