Ingredients You'll Need:

  • 1 Tbsp cooking oil
  • 1/2 cup rehydrated Butler Soy Curls, squeezed dry 
  • 2 medium zucchini spiralized
  • 1 1/2 tbsp Ah Nui XO Sauce
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce (more if you like more salt)
  • 1/2 tbsp black vinegar or sub balsamic vinegar
  • 1 scallion thinly sliced for garnish 
  • Toasted sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
  • Extra chili flakes if you like extra spicy 

Instructions:

  1. In a skillet over medium-high heat, add cooking oil and zucchini noodles and stir fry until zucchini becomes tender. Drain zucchini noodles by placing them into a colander and shaking the colander a few times over the sink. 
  2. Let zucchini noodles cool in a colander, so that any remaining liquid will drain out.
  3. Add XO Sauce, soy sauce and vinegar to a small mixing bowl. Stir until evenly mixed. Taste and adjust as needed.
  4. Add zucchini noodles to a large bowl with rehydrated soy curls. Pour in about half the sauce and toss until zucchini noodles are fully coated. Taste and add more sauce as needed. Garnish with scallions and toasted sesame seeds.
  5. Add extra dry chili flakes if you like spicy and serve.

Zucchini Noodle Tips:

  • Wide zucchini spirals with the vegetable cutter tend to coat the sauce better.
  • After the zucchini noodles are done cooking, make sure to thoroughly drain them so they aren’t watery. Don’t only drain the water from the skillet. Remove the noodles and place them into a colander to make sure all the water is drained.
