Pad Thai Zoodles

We are late to the zoodle game.  Honestly, I never heard of it until this past winter.  Once we saw it, we went out and got a spiralizer and started to experiment.  This was the first recipe we tried, and it has been a go-to ever since.  Not exactly Pad Thai, but more Pad Thai inspired.

Ingredients:

• 1 egg
• 2 Tbs of olive oil
• 1 boneless skinless chicken breast, thinly sliced
• 2 zucchini, spiralized
• 1 large carrot, julienned
• 1 red pepper, julienned
• 1/4 cup of fresh cilantro, diced
• 1/4 cup of green onions, diced
• 1/4 cup peanuts, chopped
• sesame seeds (for garnish optional)
• fresh lime wedges (for garnish)

Spicy Peanut Sauce:

• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 2 Tbs of peanut butter
• juice of 1 lime
• 3 Tbs of soy sauce
• 1 tsp dried coriander
• 1/2 tsp of ground ginger
• 1/4 tsp of red pepper flakes
• 1 Tbs corn starch (to thicken the sauce)

Instructions:

• In a small bowl, whisk together garlic, peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, ground ginger, coriander, red pepper flakes and corn starch. Set aside.

• Spiralize the zucchini, slice the chicken breast into thin slices and prepare the pepper, onion, carrots and peanuts.

• Heat a large skillet to medium high heat. Add olive oil and scramble the egg in the hot pan.  When the egg is cooked remove the egg and add the sliced chicken. Saute for 3-4 minutes. 
• Add red peppers, onions and carrots.  Saute for 3-4 minutes.
• Add zucchini noodles and peanut sauce. Flash stir fry for 2 minutes, stirring constantly until all noodles are coated.
• Serve and garnish with sesame seeds, a squeeze of fresh lime, the scrambled egg and the chopped peanuts.

Enjoy!
