Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 medium zucchinis, spiralized with the 3mm blade
- Salt, to taste
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- 1 tsp garlic, minced
- 1/2 tsp ginger, minced
- 1 cup asparagus, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1/2 large red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 cup pineapple, cut into chunks
- 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
- 2 tbsp green curry paste
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 1 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
- Place the spiralized zucchini into a colander set over a large bowl. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and let them sit, stirring occasionally, so they release some of their moisture.
- Heat the coconut oil in a large pan set over medium heat. Add in the garlic and ginger and cook, stirring constantly, until golden brown and fragrant (about 1 minute.)
- Add in the asparagus, pepper, leeks and snow peas and cook until the veggies are tender and lightly brownies, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add in the coconut milk, pineapple juice, curry paste, coconut sugar and fish sauce and stir until the green curry is well mixed into the sauce. Turn the heat to medium/high and bring to a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium/low and simmer, stirring occasionally,until the sauce has reduced by about 1/3 and thickened slightly, about 10-13 minutes. Once reduced, stir in the chopped spinach and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until the spinach wilts.
- Squeeze out as much excess moisture from the zucchini as you can, and lightly pat it dry with a paper towel. Divide the noodles between two bowls.
- Divide the veggie/sauce mixture on top of the two bowls, followed by the pineapple tidbits and sliced radishes.
- Garnish with Thai basil, cilantro and a squeeze of fresh lime juice.
- DEVOUR!
Notes
This dish makes excellent leftovers, as the flavors meld even more overnight. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For a protein boost, consider adding tofu or chicken. Adjust the spice level by varying the amount of green curry paste.
