Ever play catch with the giant melon underwater? Yep, I hadn’t either until today. My family was prepping for a barbecue gathering with some friends and brought back a watermelon to dish out. It was supposed to make it to the freezer to be chilled in time for eating but it never made it there.

My brother grabbed it and tossed it to me in the pool. Then we spent the next hour launching the giant watermelon underwater like a missile. All natural pool toys.

You’re probably wondering what this scenario has to do with these noodles, right? Well, nothing really. Let’s just say the watermelon never made it to the dinner table, because when my brother brought it up out of the pool it dropped and turned into watermelon juice. End of story.

never a big enough bowl of asian balsamic noodles

Ooodles of noodles baby! This dish for Asian noodles is way healthier than a carb loaded bowl of starch. Instead, the green veg of the zucchini makes a light and refreshing meal. Leaving you feeling satisfied and not weighed down by calorie overload.

So… this sauce… What can I tell you? It only takes a small handful of ingredients you probably already have around your house, which makes it a no brainer to make on weeknight dinners (at least around here). Nothing super fancy. Just loads of flavor! I made the sauce by thickening it on the stovetop for a few minutes and voila, dinner is served.

Everything in the recipe is incredible easy to make. But make sure you have either one of these or one of these to make your zucchini noodles.

P.S. This one is by far the best spiralizer and I highly recommend it!! 

I want more noodles!!! I shared a big bowl of these for lunch today and all I wanted for dinner was another serving. Still waiting for them to magically appear. Sad how it doesn’t work that way. One day though, there will be a paleo fast food restaurant that delivers asian zucchini noodles to my door. Until then, see ya in the kitchen! Happy cooking!

Instructions
  1. Begin by preparing your noodles with a spiralizer (read post to see which one I recommend).
  2. Heat a large fry pan over medium/high heat on the stove. Fry the noodles with 1 tablespoon sesame seed oil for about 3-4 minutes until softened. Then remove from the heat and set aside. Drain excess liquid.
  3. Prepare the sauce by incorporating the balsamic vinegar, maple syrup, coconut aminos, and hot sauce together in small sauce pan over medium heat on the stove.
  4. In a small cup mix the cold water and arrowroot flour together into a liquidy paste.
  5. Bring the sauce to a simmer then stir continuously while pouring in the arrowroot and cold water mixture.
  6. Continue to cook and stir the sauce (keeping it at a simmer) for a few minutes until the sauce thickens. Then take off the heat and pour over noodles.
  7. Top off with sesame seeds, chopped cilantro, chopped green onions, and a poached egg, if desired.

    Kaylie, this looks amazing! I think I’ll try this tonight…yay me I have everything I need at home. Question…where does the 5g of protein come from? The egg? Thanks so much, your fellow PNWer!

    Made this for lunch today and it was delicious! Omitted the Maple Syrup and Arrowroot and it turned out great. The fresh herbs put it over the top!

    this recipe looks awesome! confused on the title of “whole 30” when the ingredients include maple syrup. can i skip or sub with something else?

    This was super good, but for the cooks among us who are not very intuitive (me) may I suggest adding to the directions that after you cook the noodles, you drain any excess liquid from the pan? My noodles still tasted good but it didn’t look as fabulous as it could have with the yummy sauce bc it was diluted. Thanks for the recipe!

    i made the great date syrup (yum!), but curious…is homemade date syrup whole30 compliant? i read in the “rules” that it wasn’t, but it didn’t specify what kind.

    Would it be okay if I used crystal hot sauce or Texas Pete? Im not able to use franks because it has garlic in, and I’m allergic to garlic! ;(

    Thanks! 🙂

    I’m not a huge fan of zucchini noodles (maybe because I haven’t mastered the cooking of them but they’re always to crunchy) can I just sub for spaghetti squash?

    I’m excited to try this! I don’t have a spiralizer so I’m going with store bought pre-prepared zucchini noodles. Pro you have an idea of the quantity/weight that would equal what you have listed in the recipe as if I made them myself? Thanks!
