Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 15 min
Total time: 25 min
Yield: 6
Ingredients: Chili Sesame Sauce:; 1/2 cup peanut butter; 1/3 cup sesame oil; 1/3 cup light low sodium soy sauce; 1/4 cup rice vinegar; 2 tablespoons chili paste (like sambal oelek); 2 tablespoons sugar; 1 clove garlic, minced; 1 knob of fresh ginger, peeled and grated; Zoodles and Tofu:; 12 ounces extra firm tofu; 4–6 zucchini; sesame seeds and scallions for topping

I did NOT cook the zoodles. I wanted this to be more like a salad, cold and creamy and crunchy. Whether or not you cook the zoodles, when the sauce hits those zoodles they’re going to get a little watery. I found that this was only a problem when I didn’t serve immediately, so to avoid excess moisture, serve it right after you toss it up!

You may want to use more tofu depending on how many servings you are wanting to get out of this. I was fine with 12 ounces as 6 servings (just doing a small scoop of tofu on each pile of zoodles) but if you were super hungry you might want more.

Storing this: I would store the sauce separate from the zoodles and tofu, and then toss it all together just before serving.
