Fresh Recipe: Zoodles with Peanut Sauce

Today for Fresh Tip Tuesday we made Zoodles with a Peanut Sauce. Zucchini is one of my favorite summer food since it contains zero fat, and is high in water and fiber. It also contains significant amounts of vitamins B6, riboflavin, folate, C, and K, and other minerals. I love ethic foods and in particular today, Thai Noodles with a peanut sauce. This is a healthy twist that I know your family will love. Watch the clip, try it out and let me know what you think.

Zoodles with Peanut Sauce

Ingredients:

3 medium zucchini spiralized
1-2 carrots spiralized or shredded
1 tsp toasted sesame oil
optional: 1 red pepper spiral sliced
chopped unsalted roasted peanuts and lime wedges (use as a garnish)

thai peanut sauce

2 green onions
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter use unsweetened if eating low carb
2 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
1 tbsp seasoned rice vinegar
1 lime zested and juiced
2 tsp freshly grated ginger (or ginger paste)
optional: ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes or sriracha

Directions:

1. Spiralize the zucchini and carrots into the base of the Smart MultiCooker. Drizzle with 1 tsp of sesame oil and cook for 3 mins in the Microwave. Drain zucchini noodles if excess water is observed.
