Kung Pao Chicken Meatballs With Zoodles Healthier Version

These Kung Pao Chicken Meatballs with Zoodles are one of our go-to healthy meals on these hectic cold winter days. It’s been extremely cold, rainy and foggy in the Bay Area and going outside for even the slightest thing feels like such a big chore. So I’m always looking for healthy, wholesome, and easy meal options and that’s when I came across ‘Coastal Range Organics Chicken‘ in our local Safeway. I was impressed by them as they: Raise free-range chickens on a fully organic diet with all-natural. 100% vegetarian grain feed that does not contain any animal by-products Hence, all this makes their products all-natural and tastes great.

So I had to try them and picked up a couple of their products and decided to use the Coastal Range Organics chicken meatballs for this . Now, we loooove Chinese recipes and kung-pao is one recipe. Its spicy flavors (It originates from the Sichuan region in China which is famous for its peppercorn) and it was our most ordered Chinese takeaway recipe until one day I decided to make some at home. I definitely tried different versions of it and we finally found this version to be our fav – it’s what I call our happy median (he being a spicy food lover and me going towards more sweet flavors).

Kung Pao Chicken Meatballs with Zoodles Ingredients:

Chicken Meatballs Tbsp Sesame Oil or can use any light oil Medium Zucchini, cut into noodles using a spiralizer or a vegetable peeler Mini Peppers – thinly chopped Green Onion Stalks – thinly chopped Peanuts – roasted* Sesame Seeds

– For the Kung Pao Sauce –

Dried Red Chilies Cup Soy Sauce – you may use low sodium soy sauce or tamarind sauce if glutenfree Hoisin Sauce Honey – optional White Vinegar Garlic Powder Ginger Powder Corn Starch

– Garnish –

Chopped Green Onions Sesame Seeds

Also, this version is much healthier and uses very little cornstarch (to thicken the gravy) and theirs no artificial flavor enhancers. My ‘Kung Pao Sauce is extremely easy to make and you can make a huge batch and freeze if need be. Then grab some of the readymade Coastal Range Organics chicken meatballs and you have the recipe ready in 15 minutes. Now, the original kung pao dish is served with steamed rice or noodles, however, I’m making it even healthier. I’m using zucchini noodles or you can use zucchini ribbons if spiralizer is not available.

The ONLY thing you need to remember while using Zoodles, is that you don’t need to cook it for long or cook it at all. They are so thin and tasty that I usually add them to my recipes towards the very end … that is when the other ingredients are almost cooked. That way, the zoodles have that ‘al-Dante – firm to the bite‘ and doesn’t feel mushy.

So, go ahead and try these quick, delicious and healthy Kung Pao Chicken Meatballs with Zoodles and enjoy your favorite Chinese takeout at home that’s ready in 20 minutes.
