01
Step 1
Start by heating a skillet over medium-high heat. Toss the zucchini noodles in the pan and cook them for about 3 to 4 minutes until they’re just tender. Once done, transfer the noodles to a metal colander and let them drain while you make the sauce.

Step 2
In the same pan, turn the heat down to medium-low and add a little olive oil. Sauté the green onions and garlic for 2 to 3 minutes until fragrant and soft. Then stir in the soy sauce, brown sugar, and red pepper flakes. Let the sauce simmer gently for around 5 minutes, until it thickens up nicely. Turn off the heat once it’s ready.

Step 3
Give the noodles a good squeeze to get rid of any extra moisture, then toss them into the sticky sauce so they’re well coated. Serve everything topped with chopped peanuts and some fresh bell pepper for a bit of crunch and color. Enjoy!

How to serve
