Do’s and Don’ts
DO:
- Use a spiralizer for those perfect zoodles (or buy pre-spiralized for an easy win).
- Cook the zucchini noodles briefly to avoid sogginess—nobody likes limp zoodles.
- Customize the veggies based on what you have—mushrooms, cabbage, or baby corn work too.
DON’T:
- Overcook the zucchini noodles! They should be tender but still hold their noodle shape.
- Skimp on the sauce—it’s the flavor backbone of the dish.
- Forget to taste-test the sauce before adding it—it’s your chance to adjust sweetness, saltiness, or spice levels.
Optional Add-Ins and Variations:
- Protein Power: Add tofu, shrimp, chicken, or scrambled eggs for extra oomph.
- Noodle Swap: Try spaghetti squash or shirataki noodles for a twist.
- Extra Crunch: Sprinkle toasted peanuts or cashews on top for a nutty finish.
Zucchini Noodle Stir-Fry is proof that healthy and delicious can coexist in harmony. It’s quick, colorful, and so satisfying you’ll forget it’s low-carb—unless you’re busy showing off your zoodles on Instagram.
