I admit, this was risky since I made it for dinner with my husband and two year old son... But we loved the flavor and the texture was great, though I will also admit I made several substitutions due to pantry availability... 1 Tbsp lime juice + 1 Tbsp brown sugar replaced the tamarind paste. I added red onion, red, yellow, and green bell pepper (probably 1/4 c total) while the chicken was cooking, and used 2 c cabbage and 1/2 c celery instead of bean sprouts. I also omitted the green onion and oyster sauce. It was a hit with everyone though!

First I have to say it is a long list of special ingredients which I don't regularly use. My local store did not have tamarind paste so I opted to purchase Thai Kitchen's Pad Thai sauce and then I did not by the Oyster Sauce. Once everything was spiralized chopped or cut the recipe went together super quick. My husband had finished off all the roasted peanuts in the house so we topped it with roasted sunflower seeds instead. We liked the result but our sauce was not really true to the recipe. The use of zucchini as noodles is a favorite here.
This recipe was A++! I opted out of using tamarind(couldn't find it anywhere), used crushed red pepper instead of chili sauce, and lemon juice bc that's all I had. Added a little extra sugar and oyster sauce since those seemed like the sweeter ingredients. It came out great and it looks great plated!
The sauce is what got my attention here I had all the ingredients for that and added some fresh ginger and hot pepper. I only had some zucchini and carrots on hand and added only cooked turkey to save time. Very good!
So good. I didn't bother getting the tamarind paste I did a Nigella Lawson substitute of brown sugar/lime juice (even amount) and it was sooo good. I would make this again. I haven't been in a situation yet to have to reheat it. I wonder how it will reheat.
One of my favs! I messed it up one time and added the two eggs to the sauce....made it amazing! Tired it next time without and was disappointed (i still add the two eggs after the chicken more protein and tastes even better). I also make it with double chicken and no shrimp and one tbs extra of soy sauce replacing the two of oyster sauce as I don't eat sea food.
I used only shrimp and had to leave out the tamarind sauce because I couldn't find it at my store. But this is my favorite way now to eat zoodles! Was delicious!
Loved it. The best use of Zoodles.
This was great! My little kids even loved it except I made it too spicy for them. I cut back to 1 tbsp chili sauce and it was perfect for the adults but too much for the kids. I'll cut it back further for them next time. I was skeptical about the zoodles but they were great and I don't feel bogged down by a pasta belly.
Meh. Disappointing. Not enough flavor for me--might try it again with adjustments
