This Thai-inspired salad features spiralized zucchini noodles tossed with a vibrant mix of fresh herbs, vegetables, and a zesty dressing. The name 'Drunken' refers to the flavorful combination of fish sauce, soy sauce, lime juice, and a hint of chili heat that gives this salad its unique and delightful flavor.
Ingredients: 2 medium zucchinis, spiralized. 1/2 cup fresh Thai basil leaves, chopped. 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, chopped. 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped. 1/4 cup roasted peanuts, chopped. 1 red chili pepper, thinly sliced. 1/4 cup bean sprouts. 1/4 cup cucumber, julienned. 1/4 cup carrot, julienned. 1/4 cup red bell pepper, thinly sliced. 2 cloves garlic, minced. 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. 2 tablespoons fish sauce. 2 tablespoons soy sauce. 1 tablespoon brown sugar. Juice of 2 limes.
Instructions: In a small bowl, mix together the fish sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, and lime juice to make the dressing. Set aside. Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and sliced red chili pepper. Saut for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add the spiralized zucchini noodles to the pan and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they start to soften but are still slightly crisp. Remove the pan from heat and let the zucchini noodles cool for a few minutes. In a large mixing bowl, combine the Thai basil, cilantro, mint leaves, roasted peanuts, bean sprouts, cucumber, carrot, and red bell pepper. Add the sauted zucchini noodles to the mixing bowl and pour the dressing over the salad. Toss everything together until well combined and coated with the dressing. Serve the Thai Drunken Zucchini Noodles Salad immediately, garnished with extra chopped peanuts and herbs if desired.
