My partner and I absolutely love Japanese food. His hobby is making sushi. Unfortunately, with Celiac disease, a lot of Japanese food is off limites. Even if the dish is gluten-free, oftentimes the restaurants will make or serve it with the soy sauce that contains gluten, and if you have to avoid soy too? Welp, good luck! So, never have had dishes like udon soup or fried noodles, I’ve done my best to recreate some of them at home with AIP-friendly ingredients. This one wound up being quite tasty! With healthy zucchini and an optional runny egg, these Fried Udon Zoodles still manage to feel like an indulgence you might pick up for takeout on your lunch break or from a street vendor near the office.
