Zoodles in a Jar (Zucchini Noodles)
Servings: 1
Zoodles in a Jar is a light and nourishing twist on classic ramen—made entirely from plants. Spiralized zucchini noodles (“zoodles”) are layered with kale, shredded carrots, green onions, garlic, and crunchy pepitas, then topped with a hot sesame-tamari veggie broth that brings everything to life.
Ingredients
- 2 cups vegetable stock
- 1 tsp tamari
- 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
- 1 zucchini
- ½ cup kale cut into ribbons
- ¼ cup carrot shredded
- 2 tbsp green onions thinly sliced
- 1 garlic clove minced
- 2 tbsp pepitas
Instructions
- Heat vegetable broth, sesame oil and tamari in microwave or on stovetop to a near boil.
- Trim the ends off the zucchini and spiralize into long strands. If needed, cut the noodles into shorter lengths—about the size of traditional spaghetti. Place in a quart size mason jar or bowl.
- Add the kale, carrots, green onions, garlic and pepitas on top of the zoodles.
- Pour vegetable stock over the veggies in the jar. Let stand for 5 minutes to warm everything up. Enjoy!
Notes
- Add cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes for some spiciness.
- Sauté the garlic, carrots and kale in the sesame oil for addition flavor if you have time.
