Servings
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 large zucchini about 12 ounces each
- kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons chicken broth
- 3 tablespoons PB2 powdered peanut butter
- ½ teaspoon creamy peanut butter
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon olive oil I recommend our Lime Olive Oil
- 2 cloves garlic finely minced or pressed
- 2 teaspoons fresh minced ginger
- 2 green onions chopped
- handful of cilantro to taste about 1/4 cup, more if desired
- lime wedges
- 2 tablespoons chopped peanuts or cashews
Instructions
- Run your zucchini through a spiralizer to form noodles. Place zucchini in a large mesh strainer over a bowl or the sink and toss with a sprinkling of kosher salt (I eyeball it, about 1/4 teaspoon should be fine). Let sit for 30-60 minutes, till much of the liquid is extracted. Press zucchini with a few paper towels to absorb any excess.
- Place chicken broth, powdered peanut butter, regular peanut butter, honey, and soy sauce in a very small sauce pan and whisk to combine. Set aside for a moment.
- Heat an extra large skillet to medium high heat and add olive oil. Add garlic and ginger and stir until fragrant. Add zucchini noodles and toss often with tongs for 2-3 minutes.
- While zucchini is cooking, turn heat on peanut butter sauce. Heat until simmering, constantly stirring, until hot and bubbly. Mixture should thicken within a minute or so. Set aside. When noodles are tender-crisp, add peanut sauce and toss to combine. Add green onions and cilantro and toss well. Serve immediately and squeeze a fresh lime wedge over each serving. Top with nuts and additional green onions and cilantro if desired.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within 3-4 days for best results.
- Missing those carbs? Half and half zoodles and pasta is a delicious compromise!
