Ingredients

• 2 large Zucchini
• 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
• 6 stalks Scallions
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 1 tablespoon Ginger
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
• 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

First, wash the zucchini thoroughly and cut off the ends.

Step 2

Using a spiralizer, create zucchini noodles and set them aside in a large bowl.

Step 3

Prepare the scallions by slicing them thinly, separating the white and green parts. Mince the garlic and ginger and set aside.

Step 4

In a large skillet over medium heat, add the sesame oil.

Step 5

Once the oil is hot, add the white parts of the scallions, garlic, and ginger. Sauté for about 2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and red pepper flakes to the skillet. Stir to combine the ingredients and let it simmer for 1 minute.

Step 7

Add the zucchini noodles to the skillet, tossing them gently to ensure they are coated in the scallion sauce. Cook for 3-4 minutes, just until the noodles are tender but still crisp.

Step 8

Add the green parts of the scallions and give everything a final toss.

Step 9

Transfer the noodles to serving bowls and sprinkle with sesame seeds for garnish.

Step 10

Serve immediately as a fresh, low-carb alternative to traditional noodles.
