With an abundance of zucchini I knew I had to make zucchini noodles or zoodles as some people call them. I also wanted to try the Thai Seasoning from my friends at Truly Organic Foods. This lead me to create a sauce to go with my veggie noodle salad. It was great! I love the sweet and mildly spicy taste of the Thai seasoning. I can see this mix being a great quick add in to veggie stir fries and I love that it has no added salt.
You may be wondering why I sprinkle just the carrots with salt and drain them. I do this so that the texture contrast isn’t so large. This softens the carrots a bit.
