It is harvest season and that means zucchini, lots and lots of zucchini (although oddly enough I haven’t had as much this year as in the pasts, and I have actually had to buy zucchini this summer)! I love zucchini just grilled on the bbq but as the weather cools I am looking for other ways to use up the yummy veggies as well. On pinterest I came across instructions for making zucchini noodles - very easy with a mandoline or the right peeler!
I made the zucchini noodles and let them sit to lose some of the water while I chopped the remaining veggies.
Stir Fry with Zucchini Noodles
Ingredients:
1-2 zucchinis
Red Pepper
Yellow Pepper
1 - 2 stalks celery
Onion
Bean Sprouts (optional)
Sauce of your choosing (I used a little lime juice and pepper).
Directions:
1. Using a mandoline or peeler make zucchini into small noodles and discard the seeds.
2. Sprinkle the zucchini noodles with a little salt and lay on paper towel to drain.
3. Slice the peppers, onion and celery.
4. In a fry pan or wok with ½ to 1 tbsp oil, cook the vegetables until tender.
5. Press the “noodles” into the paper towel to remove the water on the surface.
6. Add the noodles, bean sprouts and sauce to the fry pan. Cook until warm.
7. Enjoy!
Reviews:
This was a great dinner with lots of veggies. You could easily add in some chicken or pork to add more protein or use it as a side dish for supper. I am looking forward to trying this out again - maybe with a spicier sauce!
As a side - when using lime juice (out of the container - bad I know) and pepper as a sauce, make sure the top of the lime juice is on tight before turning it upside over your dinner....
