• 0.5 teaspoon Salt

• 1 tablespoon Toasted sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

Using a spiralizer, create zucchini noodles from the 3 medium zucchinis and set aside.

Step 2

Mince the garlic cloves and ginger. Chop the green onions, separating the white and green parts.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Add the ground pork to the skillet and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Break the pork into smaller pieces as it cooks.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic, ginger, and the white parts of the green onions to the skillet. Sauté for 2 minutes, or until fragrant.

Step 6

Stir in the soy sauce, sugar-free hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and water. Mix well to combine.

Step 7

Season the sauce with red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper, then let it simmer on low heat for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Step 8

In a separate pan, gently sauté the zucchini noodles (zoodles) over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes or until they are tender but still slightly crisp.

Step 9

Serve the zucchini noodles topped with the pork sauce.

Step 10

Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and the green parts of the chopped green onions before serving.
