Zucchini Noodles with Mushrooms Enoki 西葫芦清炒金针菇
Widely known as no-carb or low-carb noodles and a great alternative to pasta - that did not appeal to me as I cannot do without carbs.
Now, I should have tried Zucchini Noodles earlier since I like how this present itself as a vegetarian side-dish, nicely paired with steamed rice or plain noodles. For the latter, simply toss (real) noodles with the thin zucchini ribbons, and the mix-in is flawless.
As long as zucchini/Italian squash is in-season, fresh and tender, I am quite sure this dish is going to be a regular at meal times. You may also try Stir-Fry Zucchini, Zucchini Fritters, or Zucchini Pizza.
No fancy equipment e.g. Spiral Slicer
Pass the peeler over the side of the zucchini lengthwise to produce long and thin "noodles". As the zucchini "noodles" are so thin, the dish cooks quickly, in a matter of 5 minutes or less. Zucchini "noodles" can be enjoyed raw in salads or cooked/sauteed to make them more tender.
