Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, chili sauce, and brown sugar. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved. Set aside.
- Using a spiralizer, cut the zucchinis into noodle-like strands. If you don't have a spiralizer, you can also use a julienne peeler or mandoline slicer to create thin strips.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.
- Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for about 2-3 minutes, until it becomes translucent and begins to soften.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, until fragrant.
- Increase the heat to medium-high and add the spiralized zucchini noodles to the skillet. Toss them gently with the onions and garlic to combine.
- Pour the sauce over the zucchini noodles and continue to cook for about 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cook until the zucchini noodles are tender but still firm to the bite (al dente).
- Once cooked, remove the skillet from heat.
- Transfer the zucchini noodles to a serving bowl.
- Optionally, garnish with sesame seeds or chopped green onions for added flavor and presentation.
- Serve the Easy Asian Zucchini Noodles hot, either as a main dish or a side dish.
Tips:
- Spiralize the zucchini to create noodle-like strands for the best texture.
- Adjust the level of chili sauce to suit your taste if you prefer more or less heat.
- Toast the garlic and onion slightly in the olive oil to enhance their flavors before adding the sauce ingredients.
- For added protein, consider adding cooked shrimp, chicken, or tofu.
- Garnish with sesame seeds or chopped scallions for extra flavor and presentation.
In just a few simple steps, you’ve created a delicious and healthy meal that's sure to become a favorite in your kitchen. These Easy Asian Zucchini Noodles are packed with flavor and are versatile enough to enjoy on their own or as a side dish. Happy cooking!
