(zoodles = zucchini noodles)
This bowl of goodness is loaded with crunchy fresh veggies, fragrant herbs and an irresistible homemade satay sauce. Replacing regular noodles with spiralised courgette (zucchini) is a great way to add the nutritious and super-low calorie vegetable to a myriad of dishes!
Give it a try for yourself...
Ingredients:
(Serves 2)
2 - Courgettes (1 green, 1 yellow)
16 - Thai Basil (leaves)
1 - Spring Onion
3 tbsp - Pumpkin Seeds
1 - Pak Choi
1-2 sprigs - Fresh Mint (garnish)
Satay dressing:
2 tbsp - Crunchy Peanut Butter
1 tbsp - Soy Sauce
2 tbsp - Coconut Nectar / Maple Syrup
1 tsp - Fresh Chilli
1 tsp - Fresh Ginger
½ - Lime (juice)
1 clove - Garlic
¼ cup - Water
Method:
Trim the ends of your courgettes and spiralise. Cut any extra long zoodles so they are more manageable, then add to a large mixing bowl.
Finely chop 6 Thai basil leaves and spring onion, roughly chop your pak choi. Add these to the mixing bowl with your zoodles.
In a small bowl add grated ginger and finely minced garlic and chilli. Add all other dressing ingredients and combine together until evenly mixed. Alternatively you can add all ingredients in a blender and mix until smooth.
Slowly add your satay dressing (start with half and add more to taste) to your mixing bowl of prepared veggies along with 2 tbsp of pumpkin seeds and toss until evenly coated.
Lay 5 Thai basil leaves in a star shape on the inner edges of each serving bowl. Scoop your satay covered zoodles into serving bowls and top with ½ tbsp of roughly chopped pumpkin seeds and a garnish of mint.
Enjoy!
