Zoodles + Spicy Peanut Sauce

Zoodles or zucchini noodles... zoodles!
Zoodles can easily be made with a veggie spiralizer. But also a grater, veggie peeler, or an extra sharp knife can be used. The key is, thin and uniformed cuts for the veggies.
Shredded chicken is great, or cooked ground turkey, but try it with tofu! It’s a refreshing meatless option..

Trust me, this recipe is a flavor explosion and a crowd pleaser!!
