Peanut Sauce Zoodles with a Sticky Twist

Ingredients

• 1 medium zucchini, spiralized
• 1 splash olive oil
• 3 green onions, sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon brown sugar
• 1 pinch red pepper flakes
• ¼ cup chopped peanuts
• ½ red bell pepper, thinly sliced

Step 1

Warm a skillet over medium-high heat. Toss in the zucchini noodles and cook them for about 3 to 4 minutes until they’re just tender. Once done, transfer the zoodles to a metal colander and let them drain in the sink to get rid of extra moisture.

Step 2

Using the same pan, lower the heat to medium-low and add a splash of olive oil. Throw in the green onions and garlic, sautéing them gently for 2 to 3 minutes until fragrant. Next, stir in the soy sauce, brown sugar, and red pepper flakes. Let everything simmer together for about 5 minutes, until the sauce thickens and becomes nice and sticky. Then, turn off the heat.

Step 3

Give the zoodles a good squeeze in the colander to get rid of any leftover water. Toss them into the pan with the sauce, making sure each strand is well coated. Serve everything up with a sprinkle of chopped peanuts and some sliced bell pepper for a bit of crunch and color. Enjoy!
