Ingredients

• 4 medium-sized Zucchini
• 4 cloves Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Red chili flakes
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce (low sodium, gluten-free if necessary)
• 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon Rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Sriracha (optional, for extra spice)
• 2 stalks Green onions
• 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds
• 1 tablespoon Neutral oil (e.g., avocado or vegetable oil)

Directions

Step 1

Wash the zucchini thoroughly and use a spiralizer to create long, thin zucchini noodles. Set aside.

Step 2

Finely mince the garlic and slice the green onions, separating the white parts from the green tops. Reserve the green tops for garnish.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, red chili flakes, and sriracha (if using). Set the sauce aside.

Step 4

Heat the neutral oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic and the white parts of the green onions to the pan. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.

Step 6

Add the zucchini noodles to the skillet and toss to coat with the garlic and onions. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the noodles are slightly tender but still have a bit of crunch.

Step 7

Pour the prepared sauce over the zucchini noodles. Toss well to ensure the noodles are evenly coated. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to let the flavors combine.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the noodles to serving bowls.

Step 9

Garnish with the green onion tops and sesame seeds. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
