Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Thai
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 zucchinis, spiralized
- 1 cup carrots, spiralized
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1/4 cup peanut sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1/4 cup chopped peanuts
Instructions
- Prepare all vegetables by washing thoroughly. Use a spiralizer to create noodles from zucchinis and carrots, ensuring long, uniform strands.
- Heat sesame oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Allow the oil to become fragrant, which typically takes about 30-45 seconds.
- Add broccoli florets to the skillet first, sautéing for 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften and develop slight golden edges.
- Introduce sliced bell peppers to the skillet, continuing to stir-fry for an additional 2 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender.
- Add spiralized zucchini and carrot noodles to the skillet, tossing gently to combine with other vegetables. Cook for 1-2 minutes, being careful not to overcook and maintain vegetable crispness.
- Pour peanut sauce over the vegetable noodles, using tongs to evenly coat and distribute the sauce throughout the mixture.
- Remove from heat and immediately transfer to serving bowls. Garnish with chopped peanuts for added crunch and texture.
- Serve hot, optionally with additional peanut sauce on the side for those desiring extra flavor.
Tips
- Choose Fresh Veggies: For the best flavor and texture, select fresh, crisp vegetables. Look for zucchinis and carrots that are firm, and vibrant bell peppers for a pop of color.
- Spiralizing Technique: When spiralizing your zucchinis and carrots, make sure to create long, uniform strands. This not only looks appealing but also ensures even cooking.
- Don’t Overcook: Keep an eye on your vegetables while sautéing. You want them to be crisp-tender, so avoid overcooking to preserve their freshness and nutrients.
- Customize Your Sauce: Feel free to adjust the amount of peanut sauce according to your taste. If you like it spicier, add a dash of sriracha or red pepper flakes for an extra kick!
- Garnish for Extra Flavor: Don’t skip the chopped peanuts on top! They add a delightful crunch and enhance the overall flavor of the dish. You can also sprinkle some fresh herbs like cilantro or basil for added freshness.
- Meal Prep Friendly: This recipe is perfect for meal prep! Store the cooked veggies and sauce separately, and combine them just before serving to keep everything fresh.
