Ingredients

  • 3 medium zucchini , spiralized
  • table salt
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp finely chopped parsley

sauce

  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp chili paste , I used sambal
  • 1 tbsp erythritol granular
  • 1/2 tsp sriracha
  • 1 tsp lime juice

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, add zucchini noodles. Sprinkle with a little salt. Let the noodles sit for 10-15 minutes to allow the salt to draw out moisture from the zucchini.
  • While you wait for the zucchini, make the sauce. Add all sauce ingredients into a medium bowl. Mix with a whisk until smooth. Taste and adjust as needed. If you want to eat this dish cold or room temperature, leave the sauce as is or store in fridge. If you want to eat this dish warm, add sauce to a small saucepan and heat sauce briefly until warm.
  • After 10-15 minutes, drain any liquid from the zucchini. Briefly rinse noodles to wash off the salt.
  • Add olive oil to a large skillet and bring to medium-high heat. Once oil is hot, add in zucchini noodles. Cook until water releases from zucchini and zucchini is cooked. Turn off heat. Remove zucchini from stove and drain zucchini noodles. Pat dry zucchini noodles with paper towel and place into a large bowl.
  • If you wish to enjoy this dish warm, pour warm sauce over the still hot zucchini noodles. Toss noodles in sauce. Garnish with parsley. Eat immediately.
  • If you wish to enjoy this dish at room temperature or cold, let zucchini noodles cool. Then toss in sauce. Garnish with parsley. Eat immediately.

Notes

  • You can add proteins to this dish like shrimp or chicken.
  • The dish needs to be eaten right away after the sauce is added, otherwise the sauce will turn watery from the moist zucchini noodles. If you do not plan on eating right away, store sauce separately and do not add until you are ready to eat.
  • Make sure to add the sauce in after the zucchini noodles have been removed from the stove. If you add the sauce in while the noodles are still cooking, the noodles will continue to release more water and will make the sauce very watery.

  • If you do not like to eat very spicy, you may want to reduce or leave out the sriracha sauce. If you leave out the sriracha, I recommend adding a little vinegar to the sauce.
  • I used Paderno World Cuisine Vegetable Spiral Slicer* to spiralize the zucchini.
  • I used sambal chili paste.*
  • I used So Nourished Erythritol Sweetener Granular.*
