Raw zucchinis noodle pad thaï

I PICKED MY VERY FIRST HOME-GROWN HUMONGOUS ZUCCHINI! It’s so good and inspiring and satisfying and I could go on and on about it…
I got a spiralizer for Christmas, and I must admit that it wasn’t a tool I used often in the kitchen but for this recipe along with my home-grown zucchinis, it was well worth it.
Marinated tofu is a great option to serve with this meal.
