Notes

Storing Leftovers
Leftovers should be stored in an airtight container in the fridge.
Veggie noodles stored in the dressing will become a bit more noodle-like in texture and lose some of their crunchiness.
Meal Prepping Tip
For lunch, these zoodle bowls work well in mason jars. Simply add the dressing to the jar, followed by the mixed noodles and then the herbs. When it comes time to serve simply give everything a good shake.
Cooking Veggie Noodles
We do not cook the veggie noodles in this recipe as we like them with a bit of crunch. If you prefer them to be slightly softer then sauté in a large skillet over medium-high heat for a couple of minutes before mixing with the udon noodles.
