Ingredients Needed
- 2 large cucumbers (about 280g / 10 oz each)
- 1 recipe tahini sauce
- Salt, to taste
How To Make Low Carb Keto Cucumber Noodles
- Make cucumber noodles: Use a spiralizer to turn the cucumbers into noodles.
- Remove extra water: Sprinkle a little salt on the noodles and put them in a strainer over the sink. Let them rest for a few minutes.
- Make the tahini sauce: Follow the instructions here to prepare the sauce.
- Dry the noodles and serve: Use a paper towel to remove extra moisture. Put the noodles on plates and pour the tahini sauce on top.
Recipe Tips
- Choose firm cucumbers: Soft cucumbers have too much water and can make the noodles soggy. Use fresh, firm cucumbers for the best texture.
- Salt and drain the noodles: This helps remove extra water so they don’t get watery when you add the sauce. Let them sit for at least 5 minutes.
- Pat dry before serving: After draining, use a paper towel to dry the noodles. This keeps the sauce from becoming too thin.
- Use a good spiralizer: A sharp spiralizer makes even, long noodles that hold their shape better. If you don’t have one, a vegetable peeler can work too!
- Serve immediately: Cucumber noodles release water over time. For the best taste and texture, eat them right after making them.
How To Store Leftovers?
- Refrigerate: Let the cucumber noodles sit at room temperature until they cool. Then, store them in an airtight container with a paper towel to absorb moisture. Keep them in the fridge for up to 2 days. Drain any extra water before serving.
