Spicy Peanut Sauce

- 6 tablespoons vegetable broth
- 3 tablespoons peanut butter, or other nut butter
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce, or tamari/aminos for gluten free version
- 1 teaspoon each: apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, sambal chili paste
Instructions
- First, wash zucchini, cut off ends, and spiralize using a spiralizer. Set aside.
- Then, prep the rest of the vegetable. Dice carrots, scallions, and peanuts, then mince garlic and ginger.
- Meanwhile, heat the sesame oil in a medium saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the carrots, scallions, garlic, ginger and snow peas. Then, stir-fry until just cooked, I like these vegetables best with lots of color and a little crunch to them.
- Next, remove the stir-fry vegetables from heat and set aside in a separate bowl.
Make the Sauce
- Using the same skillet, heat up the remaining 2 teaspoons sesame oil. Then add minced ginger and garlic and cook until fragrant and slightly browned, about 1 minute. Be careful not to burn!
- Next, add the remaining ingredients to the sauce, stirring to combine, and cook until thoroughly mixed and slightly warmed, about 5 minutes.
- Finally, remove skillet from heat and add in zoodles, sauteed vegetables, peanuts and cilantro. Enjoy immediately, zucchini noodles don't do well sitting around.
