Raw Pad Thai Zoodles
Zoodle making is easiest with a spiralizer!
Check out our favorite Spiralizer from Williams-Sonoma in the video below.
If you don’t have a fancy Spiralizer at home, no worries! I made Zoodles for years with a simple Julienne Peeler like this one from Williams-Sonoma.
Raw or slightly cooked, vegetable noodles (aka:zoodles) are sure to become one of your favorite meals. Mix and match veggies for your own Raw Pad Thai Zoodles and let us know what you think. 🙂
