spiralizer: thai chicken zoodles

i finally ordered a spiralizer and spent a good part of the week saving every zoodle recipe i could find to pinterest. for my first attempt i chose a thai chicken with spicey peanut sauce from the blog joyful healthy eats. i also tried out a new market near me that is, shockingly, open on sundays. all the produce for this meal was purchased here. the chicken was from the grocery store, i haven't been brave enough to try the meats stands. maybe this weekend.

lehel market

lehel is larger than szimpla and belvarosi (maybe i'll do a big round up), like szimpla it is open on sundays. my initial reason for trying it out was b/c i heard they had kale. but it's apparently out of season now so, i struck out. on to the good stuff, the food.

due to the fact that i work 12 - 13 hours a day, my cooking during the week is limited. i end up eating a lot of pasta. i figured if that was going to be my week night fall back, why not try to make it healthier. enter the spiralizer...

hemsley + hemsley spiralizer

i ordered the hemsley + hemsley spiralizer from amazon.uk. i chose it because it was inexpensive and has a life time warranty. it's worked beautifully, i love that the feet suction to the stove top.

thai chicken zucchini noodles with spicy peanut sauce (click for recipe)

i'll let you click on over to the recipe and just give you the pretty(ish) pictures. you may notice i left out the cilantro (couldn't find), bean sprouts (personal choice) and green onions (personal choice). i also used tamari sauce as it's what i had on hand. on to the fixing!

went from zucchini to carrots smoothly

the core, hehe

saute a bit

mix it up

eat it up

this was very tasty, even cold the next 2 days for lunch.

i used organic peanut butter which is a bear to stir on a normal day but when you're trying to make a thin sauce, forget it. i used the nutribullet and let is sit for a bit. once the mixture got to room temperature, it was easier to stir in.
