Ingredients:

  • 1 pound zucchini, spiralized into noodles
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 block firm tofu, pressed and cubed
  • 1/2 cup chopped green onions
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1/4 cup sesame seeds

Instructions:

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, black pepper, and red pepper flakes until well combined.
  2. Add the zucchini noodles to the bowl and toss to coat them in the dressing.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tofu cubes and cook until golden brown on all sides.
  4. Add the cooked tofu to the bowl with the zucchini noodles and toss to combine.
  5. Garnish with green onions, cilantro, and sesame seeds.
  6. Serve immediately or chill for later.

Tips:

  • For a crispier texture, spiralize the zucchini noodles into thin strips.
  • If you don’t have a spiralizer, you can use a julienne peeler to create zucchini noodles.
  • To press the tofu, wrap it in a few layers of paper towels and place it on a plate. Place another plate on top and weigh it down with something heavy, such as a can of beans or a heavy skillet.
  • For a vegetarian option, omit the tofu.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables to this salad, such as shredded carrots, bell peppers, or snap peas.
