Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 3 large zucchini

  • ¼ cup chicken stock

  • 2 ½ tablespoons tamarind paste

  • 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce

  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce

  • 1 ½ tablespoons Asian chile pepper sauce

  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

  • 1 tablespoon white sugar

  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil

  • 1 tablespoon chopped garlic

  • 12 ounces skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes

  • 8 ounces peeled and deveined shrimp

  • 2 eggs, beaten

  • 2 tablespoons water, or as needed (Optional)

  • 3 cups bean sprouts, divided

  • 6 green onions, chopped into 1-inch pieces

  • 2 tablespoons chopped unsalted dry-roasted peanuts

  • ¼ cup chopped fresh basil

Directions

  1. Make zucchini noodles using a spiralizer.

  2. Whisk chicken stock, tamarind paste, soy sauce, oyster sauce, chile pepper sauce, Worcestershire sauce, lime juice, and sugar together in a small bowl to make a smooth sauce.

  3. Heat sesame oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add garlic and stir until fragrant, about 10 seconds. Add chicken and shrimp; cook and stir until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 5 to 7 minutes.

  4. Push chicken and shrimp to the sides of the wok to make a space in the center. Pour eggs and scramble until firm, 2 to 3 minutes. Add zucchini noodles and sauce; cook and stir, adding water if needed, about 3 minutes. Add 2 cups bean sprouts and green onions; cook and stir until combined, 1 to 2 minutes.

  5. Remove wok from heat and sprinkle peanuts over noodles. Serve garnished with remaining 1 cup bean sprouts and fresh basil.
