Thai Peanut Zucchini Noodles are so named because they are composed of zucchini noodles that have been sautéed with uncomplicated and fresh vegetables and then doused in a scrumptious Thai peanut sauce that is simple to prepare. You may have these noodles as an entree for either lunch or dinner by modifying the degree of heat in the sauce to suit your tastes.

Which spiralizer is the most effective for producing noodles out of zucchini?
I have been using and loving my OXO spiralizer for the last several years. It satisfies each and every one of my prerequisites and has already more than paid for itself.
If you do not have a spiralizer that can be placed on a countertop, you might utilize a portable gadget such as the Titan Vegetable Julienne Peeler and Slicer. This was formerly owned by me until I upgraded to the OXO tabletop version.
Are zucchini noodles available in a pre-cut form?
Yes! The method that we use to prepare our meals each week includes spiralizing zucchini into what tastes like noodles. After that, we place them in an airtight container and place them in the refrigerator.
Over the course of the next week, we use them in almost every dish we prepare, including salads, wraps, stir-fries, eggs, and of course, this dish made with Thai zucchini pasta.

Can zucchini noodles be frozen?
No. I wouldn't recommend freezing raw zucchini noodles for the same reason that I don't recommend freezing other fresh vegetables.
Nevertheless, after frying them, I may consider freezing them, but only if I'm in a rush since their consistency could still be strange and maybe even unappealing.
avoiding mushy zucchini noodles
- Do not overcook the zucchini noodles; cook them until they are al dente, which means they are just firm enough to be springy rather than soggy.
- Do not use an excessive amount of sauce; since zucchini noodles do not contain starch like wheat pasta, any additional liquid will simply sink to the bottom of the dish if there is too much of it. Therefore, the secret to successfully preparing this Thai noodle meal is to use just the right amount of peanut sauce so that it just barely coats the noodles.
- Salt: The addition of salt in the recipe for zucchini noodles results in a loss of moisture. In order to do this, first season the noodles with some salt, and then put them aside for twenty minutes. Following that, dry the noodles by patting them with a paper towel.
I'm not patient enough to wait for the salt method, so I rely on the first two methods instead.
Instructions for Preparing Thai Noodles Made with Peanuts and Zucchini
As part of the preparation for the vegetables, spiralize the zucchini, shred the carrots, slice the bell peppers and cabbage, and trim the green onions. While the green tips may be used as a garnish, the white region is the part of the shallot that works best for sautéing.
To make the peanut sauce, combine all of the sauce ingredients in a bowl using a whisk. If it needs to be thinner, add water to it in little amounts so that you may get the desired consistency. It has to have a little bit of pourability so that it can easily coat the zoodles.
The onions, bell pepper, and carrots should be sautéed in a large pan that has been heated over medium-high heat while the pan is being preheated.
After the zucchini noodles have reached the desired texture, add them to the pan and keep the heat on for a few more minutes. Take care not to overcook them.
It is important to turn off the heat in the pan before pouring the peanut sauce. This helps prevent the zoodles from cooking for an excessively long period of time.
After you have reached the desired balance of sauce to noodles, carefully fold in some more peanut sauce.
It is possible to serve noodles topped with peanut sauce either warm, cold, or at room temperature. As a garnish, you may use any of the following ingredients:
- green onion tops, onions
- cut-up peanuts
- coriander that has been cut, limes, and fresh wedges
If you made the peanut sauce ahead of time and refrigerated it, you may soften it by bringing it to room temperature from the refrigerator. Because of this, coating the noodles is made much easier.

Preparation of Meals for Thai Noodles Made with Zucchini
By preparing my meals ahead of time, I am able to save time as well as prepare a dinner that is not only tasty but also wholesome without resorting to frozen meals that just need heating. In order to have this meal ready for consumption for the rest of the week, I do the following on Sunday:
- Before placing the sliced and spiralized veggies in a big airtight container, slice and spiralize all of the vegetables. In my view, while storing vegetables, zoodles should be kept apart from other types of vegetables.
- Make the peanut sauce and store it in a container that is separate from the vegetables you have prepared.
- On the day of serving, resume the sautéing steps from the recipe, and serve the dish at a warm temperature.
- Ingredients
- For the peanut sauce
- ⅓ cup Creamy Peanut Butter, unsweetened
- 1 tablespoon Soy Sauce, use Tamari for gluten-free
- 1 tablespoon Unseasoned Rice Vinegar, or lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Maple Syrup
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, finely grated
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha sauce, or chili paste or pinch cayenne pepper
- Water, as needed to adjust consistency
- Vegetable and zoodles
- 2 tablespoons Avocado Oil
- 2 Green Onions, thinly sliced; stalk and stem separated
- 1 large Carrot, shredded (about 1 cup)
- ½ large Red Bell Pepper, thinly sliced (about 1 cup)
- ¼ pound Purple Cabbage, thinly sliced (about 1 cup)
- ½ pound Zucchini, spiralized (about 4 cups)
- Instructions
- Peanut sauce
Whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, maple syrup, ginger, garlic, and cayenne pepper until smooth. Whisk in WATER very gently until the desired consistency is reached.
Cooking the peanuts and vegetables
In a large saucepan, oil should be heated over medium heat. Cook for a few minutes until the GREEN ONION (just the white portion), CARROT, BELL PEPPERS, and CABBAGE are soft.
Add spiralized ZUCCHINI and sauté for roughly 2 minutes, or until they become tender. We request that you reduce the temperature.
Add PEANUT SAUCE gradually, folding it in until the desired consistency is reached. It may be served hot or cold. The dish may be garnished with lime, cilantro, crushed peanuts, or green onion leaves.
