Zucchini Noodle Pad Thai Simple and Savory Delight
Ingredients
- 3 medium zucchinis, spiralized into noodles
- 1 cup bean sprouts
- 1 whole red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 whole carrot, julienned
- 2 whole green onions, chopped
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 3 tablespoons tamari (or soy sauce)
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce (optional)
- 1 tablespoon peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
- 0 to taste crushed peanuts (for garnish)
- 0 to taste lime wedges (for serving)
- 0 to taste salt and pepper
Instructions
- Start by spiralizing the zucchinis into noodles. If you don’t have a spiralizer, you can use a vegetable peeler to create thin strips. Set aside.
- In a large skillet or wok, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Pour in the beaten eggs and scramble until fully cooked. Push the eggs to one side of the skillet.
- Add the sliced bell pepper, carrot, and zucchini noodles to the skillet, tossing well to combine. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the zucchini is slightly softened but still has a crunch.
- Add the tamari, fish sauce (if using), peanut butter, and lime juice to the skillet. Toss everything together until well-combined and heated through.
- Stir in the bean sprouts and green onions, cooking for an additional minute. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Remove from heat and plate the Zucchini Noodle Pad Thai. Top with chopped cilantro and crushed peanuts for added flavor and crunch.
