Raw Wok Vegetable Stir-Fried Zucchini Noodles

Zucchini noodle dishes like this one couldn’t be easier or more satisfying. Rachel Carr, author of Modern Raw, created this recipe for raw stir-fried zucchini noodles with lots of other vegetables.  

Rachel writes: “It’s a lighter version of stir-fried noodles that takes about five minutes to throw together. Scented with ginger and sesame, this dish will be delicious even the next day. I sometimes like to add seaweed and kimchi to give it an extra flavor boost.”

Print

Zucchini noodle dishes like this one couldn’t be easier or more satisfying. Rachel Carr, author of Modern Raw, created this recipe for raw stir-fried zucchini noodles with lots of other vegetables. 

Prep Time 15 minutes

Total Time 15 minutes

Ingredients

• 2 zucchini, cut into noodles with a spiral slicer (see Note)
• 2 carrots, julienned
• ¼ cup shredded red cabbage
• 3 shiitake mushrooms, stemmed and thinly sliced
• 2 asparagus stalks, washed and shaved lengthwise
• 1 teaspoon peeled and grated fresh ginger
• 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil, or more to taste
• 2 tablespoons gluten-free tamari
• Juice of 1 lime
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, for garnish
• 2 scallions, chopped

Instructions

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the zucchini noodles, carrots, red cabbage, mushrooms, asparagus and grated ginger.
2. Toss well and add the sesame oil, tamari and lime juice.
3. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, if desired. Divide between 2 bowls or plates and garnish with the sesame seeds and scallions. Serve with chopsticks.

Notes

Spiral slicers, also called spiralizers, are tools that make it super-easy to create noodles with a wide variety of vegetables. If you don’t have a spiral slicer, you can easily make noodles with a vegetable peeler by running the peeler lengthwise down the zucchini for more of a linguine-style noodle.
