Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 1 tsp sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced ginger and red pepper flakes, cooking for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  2. Step 2: Stir in miso paste and water, whisking until smooth and bubbling gently for 1 minute.
  3. Step 3: Add spiralized zucchini noodles and halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Toss for 3-4 minutes until zucchini is tender-crisp and tomatoes are slightly softened.
  4. Step 4: Season with 1/4 tsp sea salt and cook for 1 more minute.
  5. Step 5: Remove from heat immediately to prevent overcooking; serve hot or at room temperature.
