Ingredients
- 2 medium Sweet potatoes
- 1 tsp Sesame oil
- 3 tbsp Low-sodium soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1.5 tbsp Rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp Fresh ginger
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1 tbsp Maple syrup
- 1 tbsp Toasted sesame seeds
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 1 small Red bell pepper
- 2 cups Spinach
Directions
Step 1
Peel the sweet potatoes and spiralize them into noodles using a spiralizer. Set aside.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together the sesame oil, low-sodium soy sauce (or tamari), rice vinegar, grated fresh ginger, minced garlic, and maple syrup to create the sesame ginger sauce.
Step 3
Heat a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the sesame oil and allow it to warm for about 30 seconds.
Step 4
Add the spiralized sweet potato noodles to the skillet and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender but still slightly crisp.
Step 5
While the noodles are cooking, thinly slice the red bell pepper and chop the green onions into small pieces.
Step 6
Add the red bell pepper strips, spinach, and sesame ginger sauce to the skillet. Toss everything together and cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to coat the noodles and vegetables evenly.
Step 7
Remove the skillet from heat and divide the noodles into two serving bowls.
Step 8
Garnish with chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately and enjoy!
