Thai Zucchini Recipes

ZUCCHINI PAD THAI

Steps:

• Place the uncooked noodles in a bowl of cold water to soak.
• Spiralize the zucchini, yellow squash, red pepper, onion and carrots into noodle-like shapes.
• Combine the sauce ingredients in a small bowl and whisk to combine.
• Heat a tablespoon of oil over medium high heat. Add the veggies - stir fry with tongs for 60 seconds. Transfer to a dish and set aside.
• Add another tablespoon of oil to the pan. Drain the noodles - they should be softened by now.
• Add the noodles to the hot pan and stir fry for a minute, using tongs to toss. Add the sauce and stir fry for another minute or two, until the sauce is starting to thicken and stick to the noodles. Toss everything around with the tongs.
• Add in the vegetables, toss together, and remove from heat. Stir in the peanuts and herbs and serve immediately.

• Push chicken and shrimp to the sides of the wok to make a space in the center. Pour eggs and scramble until firm, 2 to 3 minutes. Add zucchini noodles and sauce; cook and stir, adding water if needed, about 3 minutes. Add 2 cups bean sprouts and green onions; cook and stir until combined, 1 to 2 minutes.

• In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium. Add zucchini, shallots, ginger, garlic, and 2 teaspoons salt; cook, stirring occasionally, until zucchini softens but has not developed any color, 10 to 12 minutes. Add potato, coconut milk, and 2 1/2 cups water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until potato is easily pierced with the tip of a knife, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from heat; let cool slightly. Stir in cilantro and lime juice. Transfer mixture to a blender, working in batches if necessary, and purée until very silky and smooth, 2 to 3 minutes. Refrigerate until cold, at least 4 hours or, in an airtight container, up to 3 days. Season with salt; serve topped with zucchini slices and cilantro leaves.
