We make a lot of noodles around here! My boys L.O.V.E noodles! They would eat them every day, for every meal, if I allowed it!
Well…….there is one type of noodle my boys aren’t exactly in love with……whole wheat noodles. This recipe is one of my solutions for getting them to eat them. They don’t even notice that the noodles are whole wheat noodles. he he he
These yummy Garlic Ginger Noodles are my new favorite, and can we talk about how much I love the zucchini noodles in this recipe? They are so fun! I don’t have a mandolin so I just made thin slices and then went back and turned the slices into small strips.
Cook these up for the perfect side dish. If you want to make them into a main dish, just add a little pork, chicken, shrimp or tofu. The flavor combination is delicious and they take very little time to cook up!
