Honey Sriracha Chicken Zucchini Zoodles
Description
This dish features spiralized zucchini noodles topped with chicken cooked in a honey and sriracha sauce. The sauce also contains soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water to create a glossy coating that thickens while cooking. Garlic is sautéed first to build flavor, followed by the chicken, which is stir-fried until mostly cooked. Adding the sauce and scallions completes the flavor and texture balance.
The zucchini noodles provide a crisp, fresh base that contrasts with the tender chicken and the thick, sticky sauce, creating a harmonious dish with layers of sweetness, spice, and umami. The preparation involves quickly cooking ingredients over medium heat for retained moisture and bright flavors.
Freshly spiralized zucchini noodles are recommended; any excess moisture should be drained before serving to prevent sogginess. The dish is best served immediately to enjoy the zoodles’ crunch and the sauce’s vivid flavor.
Ingredients
Sauce:
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon sriracha
- 1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/2 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
- Cut 1 inch (2.5 cm) off both ends of the zucchinis and use a spiralizer to make zucchini noodles. Transfer the zoodles to two serving bowls. In a separate bowl, combine all the ingredients for the sauce and whisk until well mixed.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Sauté the garlic until aromatic, then add the chicken and stir-fry until the surface turns white. Next, add the sauce and stir continuously until the chicken is fully cooked and the sauce thickens. Finally, add the scallions and stir to combine.
- Top the zoodles with the chicken and toss to combine. Garnish with white sesame seeds and serve immediately.
Notes
- Drain any liquid that seeps out from the zucchini noodles before serving to keep the dish from becoming watery.
