These Thai Peanut Zoodles are incredibly fast to make, delicious, and low-carb! About a week into watching my carbs, I was craving pasta. So I decided to purchase a spiralizer to try this zoodle thing out. There are so many spiralizers out there. I wanted something simple and cheap since I was not even sure I would like them. This was my first attempt at making zoodles, and honestly, I was a little skeptical. In the ten minutes it took me to make this, I quickly became a believer. Do they taste like noodles? No. Are they absolutely delicious in their own way, yes!
This is such a healthy way to indulge in your favorite sauces. In the days since making this recipe, I have come up with three more zoodle recipes. I’ll be sharing these over the next few weeks. I went with the minimalist approach to these; the less you cook them, the better. In this recipe, you are just adding them to the sauce. I like this sauce served cold. But if you want to try it warm, add all the ingredients to a skillet and whisk until combined, and toss the zoodles until they are just warmed through, like 30 seconds. However, if you cook them too long, they will get mushy and water down your sauce.

Zoodles are a thing I have not yet tried, but after seeing this combo I think that will soon change! I love a traditional peanut thai salad with chicken so this looks like a winner to me!
