Cut zucchini into zoodles, lay out on a paper towel, sprinkle with salt and let them release their moisture while you cook.
In a wok or large pan, heat 1/2 tbsp. toasted sesame oil over medium heat. Once hot add sliced chicken, season with salt and pepper and cook until the chicken is cooked through, stirring occasionally to keep from burning. Add garlic, remining sesame oil, bell peppers and cook stirring occasionally until bell peppers begin to soften.
While the chicken is cooking, cook noodles in a separate pan according to package directions and drain.
Pat zoodles dry and add to pan along with cabbage, water chestnuts and 6 tbsp. of stir-fry sauce. Mix together well and separate the zoodles throughout the dish. Top with toasted sesame seeds and sriracha if desired or serve as is.
Notes
Tip: break noodles in half prior to cooking. This will make it easier to serve yourself a true serving vs. all noodles.
For low carb, omit the noodles and just use zucchini noodles.
