Ingredients
- 2 medium (about 1 pound) Sweet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons Tahini
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon (grated) Fresh ginger
- 1 clove (minced) Fresh garlic
- 2 teaspoons Rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Avocado oil
- 2 stalks (sliced thinly) Green onions
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Cilantro
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Peel the sweet potatoes and use a spiralizer to create thin noodles. If you don’t have a spiralizer, you can use a julienne peeler as an alternative.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut aminos, tahini, sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, and rice vinegar. Set the sesame ginger sauce aside.
Step 3
Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 4
Add the sweet potato noodles to the skillet. Toss frequently and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the noodles are tender but still slightly firm (al dente).
Step 5
Lower the heat and pour the sesame ginger sauce over the cooked sweet potato noodles. Toss gently to coat the noodles evenly with the sauce.
Step 6
Season the noodles with a pinch of salt and black pepper, as needed.
Step 7
Remove the skillet from heat and add the sliced green onions, sesame seeds, and chopped cilantro on top for garnish.
Step 8
Serve immediately while warm. Optionally, serve with additional cilantro or sesame seeds on the side.
