INGREDIENTS
SERVES 1
- 2 zucchini(s)
- 1 1/2 tbsp Thai Peanut Satay Sauce, Spicy-Hot
- 1 tbsp Sesame Tahini, Unsalted
- 1 tbsp Lime Juice
- 1 tsp Ginger Root
- 1/3 cup Snow Peas
- 1/3 cup Orange Bell Pepper
- 1 tsp Black Sesame Seeds
- 2 tbsp Cilantro
DIRECTIONS
1
Cut the zucchini lengthwise into thin, spaghetti-like strips.
2
Add the zucchini to a 2-quart microwave-safe dish.
3
Stir together the satay sauce, tahini, lime juice, soy sauce, and ginger in a small bowl until smooth. Pour the sauce over the zucchini and toss to coat.
4
Cover the dish with unbleached parchment paper and microwave on high until the vegetables are done, about 4 minutes (for al dente) to 5 minutes (for softened). Remove from the microwave and let stand covered for 5 minutes to complete the cooking process.
5
Add the snow peas and bell pepper, toss to combine, and adjust seasoning. Sprinkle with the sesame seeds and cilantro, and serve immediately.
