Please don't misunderstand: I adore noodles. Spaghetti, fettuccine, ramen, udon, soba, cellophane, rice - I don't play favorites, I love them all. Making them is fun; eating (or slurping) them all up is even better.
But I decided to forgo the dough for this latest noodles-themed International Incident Party. Thanks to the summer heat and humidity (at least in my hemisphere), the thought of kneading dough and getting covered in flour and then - horrors! - boiling a big pot of water leaves me exhausted and dripping with sweat. These days I find myself craving crunchy, cooling, refreshing foods. So I decided to make ribbon-like "noodles" out of the ultimate cooling summer vegetable, zucchini. (To check out what all the others brought to the noodles party, please visit our lovely hostess, Penny aka Jeroxie!)
This dish is composed entirely of ingredients I got at the farmers market. In fact, I made this the same day I visited the market - and it doesn't get much fresher than that!
