I made zoodles once before, years ago, and the kids did not really care for it.
I decided to try making them again, since I received two huge zucchinis in our weekly CSA delivery.
On this occasion, I added 1/2 c teriyaki sauce to the two spiralized zucchinis and let everything cook on med-high for just 3-5 minutes (note - I was told by a chef friend to dry the zucchinis on paper towels first to absorb the water; next time I will do this, because the zucchini got a little mushy!).
I added in the pre-cooked meatballs (I used Aidells Teriyaki and Pineapple Chicken Meatballs).
Surprisingly, very little was left of the zoodles! It was a hit amongst most in the family (my youngest did not care for it too much).
I'll definitely make this again when I need a quick and easy dinner, and I have zucchini on hand!
I make mine with peanut sauce, barring no peanut allergies in your household, and eat it as a cold salad. Sometimes I will put in some red pepper flakes, peanuts, green onion or sesame seeds to vary the spice and texture. My boyfriend who usually does not like vegetables gobbles it up.
