Spiraled zucchini noodles and peanuts all done in one pan in under 15 minutes make this recipe for Zoodles Pad Thai a weeknight wonder recipe! The delicious sauce is made with traditional Pad Thai flavors and gives the zucchini noodles big flavor. I like to add sautéed shrimp or grilled chicken to this “Zoodles” recipe to increase the protein per serving, in this otherwise, already low carb and low calorie dish.
What If I Don’t Have a Spiralizer?
Don’t Worry. There are other ways you can make zucchini noodles without a spiralizer.
- Use a vegetable peeler. Apply light pressure with a vegetable peeler along the sides of the zucchini.
- Carve with a knife. Carefully carve strips from the zucchini, working until you reach the core.
- Shred with a grater. For short, rice-like zucchini noodles, roughly shred the vegetable lengthwise against a box grater. Press away excess liquid.
With all these suggested methods, make sure to toss out the soft seeded core of the zucchini to prevent your “zoodles” from being mushy and soft.

Crack and add the 2 eggs to the pan and lightly scramble for about 30-40 seconds. After the eggs are scrambled, add half of the green onions, and peanuts to the skillet and toss for about 30 seconds.
