Instructions
  • Place all the sauce ingredients into a small mixing bowl and whisk until well combined. If the sauce is too thick, add 1 tablespoon of water at a time and mix in, until the sauce reaches the desired consistency. Set aside.
  • Pour the oil into a large skillet and place over medium-high heat. Add the white part of the green onion, carrot, bell pepper, and cabbage to the skillet and sauté for a few minutes until tender.
  • Now add the spiralized zucchini and sauté for a further 2 minutes until the zoodles start to soften, then turn off the heat.
  • Gently fold in the peanut sauce and serve the zoodles warm or chilled, garnished with remaining green onion, crushed peanuts, cilantro, and a wedge of lime.
Notes
For oil-free: simply omit the oil and instead do a water or broth sauté.
Soy-Free: for soy-free, substitute a soy sauce for a soy-free option such as coconut aminos.
