Ingredients

• 1 cup Almond flour
• 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 1 whole Egg
• 2 tablespoons Gochujang (Korean chili paste)
• 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 1 cup Zucchini, spiralized
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
• 2 tablespoons Green onion, sliced

Directions

Step 1

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese and 2 tablespoons of cream cheese. Microwave for 1 minute, then stir. Continue microwaving in 15-second intervals until fully melted and combined.

Step 2

Add 1 cup of almond flour, 1 teaspoon of xanthan gum, and 1 egg to the melted cheese mixture. Stir until a dough forms.

Step 3

Let the dough cool slightly, then knead it in the bowl until smooth and fully blended.

Step 4

Roll the dough into a cylinder about 1 centimeter in diameter and cut into 2-inch pieces.

Step 5

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the dough pieces and fry until golden brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.

Step 6

In the same skillet, combine 2 tablespoons of gochujang, 2 tablespoons of coconut aminos, and 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. Stir and cook for 1 minute.

Step 7

Add 1 cup of spiralized zucchini to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce. Cook for an additional 3 minutes.

Step 8

Return the fried dough pieces to the skillet and stir until everything is well combined and heated through.

Step 9

Garnish with 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds and 2 tablespoons of sliced green onion. Serve immediately.
