Cold Five-Spice Zucchini Noodle Salad Recipe

Recipe By The Spruce Eats

One of the best purchases i have made to benefit my health was not a gym membership or diet supplement, it happened to be a vegetable spiral slicer. If you consider how easy it is to come home and make a big ol'pot of spaghetti noodles (and have left-overs for days), you can understand why i had to solve this problem. A spiral slicer allows me to make "Noodles" That carry more nutrients and more flavor. These noodles, that are often called "Zoodles" Are made by taking a vegetable and cutting it in a way that makes a thin spiral noodle. Sure, these alternatives take a little getting used to, but once you find the right recipes (like this one), regular pasta will even downright disgust you. Spiral slicers can be found fairly inexpensive such as this maxam stainless steel vegetable spiral slicer. There are also high-end, top-notch spiral slicers such as this commercial grade spiral fry cutter. The primary one will suit just fine for everyday cooking and similar ones can be found in many kitchen stores and online retailers alike. Now let's get down to the nitty-gritty. Once you have your new pride and joy spiral slicer. You're going to want to make this recipe. Chinese five-spice invigorated the senses by balancing all tastes of the palate: sweet, salty, bitter, sour, and pungent. Combined these perfectly balanced flavors with some zoodles and chicken and you have the perfect lunch, dinner, or late night snack.
