It's time to get your veggie noodles on, yo! That's right friends, today I bring you a super healthy AND delicious carrot noodle stir fry that I've been going crazy about over here.

Healthy and delicious … seriously the best combo ever!

What I've got for you here is a giant bowl of vegetables covered in a delish sesame ginger sauce and dotted with crispy tofu.

What makes this Carrot Noodle Stir Fry so awesome?

I'm glad you asked!

• It is L. O. A. D. E. D. with vegetables. It's basically a bowl of carrots and bok choy, only it's awesome.
• It's full of super yummy Asian flavors like ginger, sesame, cilantro, and soy.
• It's quick and easy to make. Have 30 minutes to make dinner? Fantastic, you can make this!
• It's a gluten-free, low carb and vegan meal.
• It's full of plant-based protein. Read: crispy tofu!
• It's one darn tasty dinner.

So tell me, have you jumped on the spiralizer train yet? It took me a while to make the leap (always the last one on board!) and now I don't know what took me so long. Maybe I'm a total weirdo, but turning vegetables into noodles is so strangely satisfying. #StrangeGirl

In this carrot noodle stir fry, I've used my super awesome Paderno Spiralizer to make long, twisty carrot noodles that mimic (at least in look) spaghetti noodles. If you don't have a spiralizer, you can use a vegetable peeler to make long strips of carrots. It will change the look of the carrot noodle stir fry, but the taste will be the same.

Now I'm not going to try and convince you that carrot noodles mimic real noodles in taste. They totally don't. They taste like carrots and have a little crunch to them, which I love. I also love that I can twirl them around on my fork or wind them around my chopsticks just like I can real noodles. Who's with me?

Carrot noodle stir fry for the win!

Ingredients

The Ginger Sesame Sauce

• 2 tablespoons soy sauce, gluten-free, if needed
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon each: dark sesame oil and corn starch
• 1 teaspoon each: brown sugar or honey, Sriracha, and neutral flavoured oil.
• 2 inch piece of ginger, finely minced
• 3 cloves garlic, finely minced
• Juice from 1 lime

The Carrot Noodle Stir Fry

• 3 large Asian carrots, or 5 large regular carrots
• 1 tablespoon neutral-flavored oil
• A few handfuls of baby bok choy
• Cilantro, lime, and sesame seeds, to garnish

Instructions 

• In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together all of the Ginger Sesame Sauce ingredients.
  2 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon each: dark sesame oil and corn starch, 1 teaspoon each: brown sugar or honey, Sriracha, and neutral flavoured oil., 2 inch piece of ginger, 3 cloves garlic, Juice from 1 lime
• Heat a large, non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, add enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan. Fry the tofu on all sides until it is brown and crispy. Remove the tofu from the pan and place it into a small dish and toss with soy sauce.

• Heat the oil in a wok or a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the carrot noodles and baby bok choy and toss a few times. Cover and let the noodles cook for about 2 minutes.
