Fresh Zuccini noodles stir fry!!!!
Who ever said you can’t make zuccini noodles without a spiruluzer? … You just need some patience, a little bit of time and lot of greed to want it bad.
I had one of my Chinese cravings a couple of days ago, and I just couldn’t forget how my weight would just jump like 10000 kgs after a single Chinese takeaway. It breaks my heart .
I always heard about substituting this green vege for a no - carb option, but i thought it was more like a fad.. I mean how can green vegetables feel and taste like noodles.. how?.. how??
So I decided to see try it myself.
And boy, was I pleased! :)
- 1large zuccini
- 1bell pepper ( green and red each) , finely julienned.
- one large onion, finely chopped,
- 10 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
- 2" piece of ginger, finely chopped
- 3-4 dried red chillies
- 6-7 sliced mushrooms
- some sweet corn
-1tbsp sesame oil
- 1tbsp white sesame seeds
For the sauce mix - (this is fool proof every time)
- 1tbsp each of soy sauce, green chilli sauce, honey, red shezwan sauce, ketchup and cornflour. ( Ditch the cornflour if you are very concerned about the no carb rule)
-½ tbsp white vinegar.
Mix everything in a small bowl , keep aside.
The only thing you have to be careful about this dish, is the chopping. I personally hate chopping veges on a daily basis, but this was a special treat , so it was therapeutic.
So I’ll share how I julienned my zuccini.
Take the zuccini and slice it length wise with the help of the grater ( use the attachment that makes potato crips)
. Once you have the slices, stack them together and finely julienne them . You will get fantastic zuccini noodles.
********** Please don’t peel the zuccini.
- Next in a pan, add the sesame oil, red chilli, ginger, garlic and sesame seeds. Let it roast for a bit on high flame.
- add the onions and cook till light and translucent and fragrant.
- add all other veges and the zuccini noodles. Let it cook for 3-4 minutes on high flame .
- don’t reduce the flame, now add the sauce mix and cook till the sauce nicely coats the noodles and it not watery.
- garnish with some more sesame seeds.
- serve.
And believe me .. they feel like real noodles.
