Boneless chicken breasts: boneless chicken breasts can easily be swapped for chicken thighs here. Zucchini: firm medium-sized zucchinis work best for zoodle making. The firmer outer part is the ideal texture for noodles, so try to avoid the really large summer zucchinis which tend to have more watery flesh in the centre. Tahini: tahini (or tahina) is a popular Middle-Eastern condiment made entirely from ground up sesame seeds. This buttery-smooth paste has a nutty flavor that we use as the base of the creamy sauce. It’s easy to find alongside nut butters at most well-stocked grocery stores, or look for it a your local Middle-Eastern market.
Other ingredients you need are sesame oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey (or maple syrup), garlic chili sauce, fresh ginger, and sesame seeds (for serving).
Make a vegan version by swapping the chicken for tofu or tempeh. Spiralize other veggies like carrots, butternut squash, or daikon for a mix of colors and flavors. Add in other veggies like broccoli florets or sliced red bell pepper. Make it extra-spicy with a dash of sriracha or more garlic chili oil, or omit the chili garlic oil completely for a kid-friendly version.
