Spicy Peanut Zoodle Stir Fry Flavorful and Quick Meal
Ingredients
- 4 medium zucchinis
- 1 cup red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 cup snap peas
- 1 cup carrots, julienned
- 0.5 cup green onions, chopped
- 1 cup cooked chicken breast or tofu
- 3 tablespoons peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup
- 1 tablespoon sriracha
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, for garnish
Instructions
- Using a spiralizer, create zucchini noodles (zoodles) from the zucchinis. Set them aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, sriracha, garlic, and ginger until smooth. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of water to reach desired consistency.
- Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the sliced bell pepper, snap peas, and carrots. Stir-fry for about 3-5 minutes until they are tender but still crunchy.
- If using chicken, add the cooked chicken pieces to the skillet. Then add the zucchini noodles and continue to stir-fry for an additional 2-3 minutes until the zoodles are just tender.
- Pour the spicy peanut sauce over the stir-fry mixture. Toss everything together until all ingredients are evenly coated with sauce. Cook for another minute to warm through.
- Remove from heat and mix in the chopped green onions. Plate the stir-fry and sprinkle with sesame seeds for garnish.
💡 Chef's Notes
For a vegetarian option, substitute chicken with tofu.
