Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium carrots spiralized
  • 2 medium zucchini spiralized
  • 200 grams rice noodles cooked and drained
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce or coconut aminos
  • 1 lime lime juiced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 inch ginger grated
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil for stir-frying

Equipment

  • Spiralizer
  • Wok or deep skillet
  • Large pot
  • Tongs

Method
 

  1. Gather your spiralizer, wok, large pot, and tongs. Spiralize the carrots and zucchini into noodles, keeping them separate for even cooking.
  2. Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Cook the rice noodles according to package instructions, usually 4-6 minutes, until just tender. Drain and set aside.
  3. Preheat your wok over medium-high heat until hot, and add a tablespoon of sesame oil. When shimmering, add the minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for about 30 seconds until fragrant and aromatic.
  4. Add the spiralized carrots first, stir-frying for about 2 minutes until they start to soften and develop a slight golden edge with a gentle crackle.
  5. Next, toss in the zucchini noodles and cook for another 1-2 minutes, just until they turn tender but still retain their bright color and crunch.
  6. Add the drained rice noodles to the wok. Toss everything together for 1-2 minutes, allowing the noodles to absorb the flavors and heat through, turning glossy and fragrant.
  7. Pour in the soy sauce and squeeze fresh lime juice over the mixture. Toss again quickly to evenly coat all ingredients, ensuring the sauce glistens and aroma brightens.
  8. Check the seasoning and adjust with more soy or lime if desired. Remove from heat once everything is heated through, the noodles are glossy, and the veggies remain crisp.
  9. Serve immediately in bowls, garnished with optional scallions or sesame seeds for extra flavor. Enjoy the vibrant textures and fresh, zesty taste!
