Asian-inspired chilled sesame zucchini noodles taste great on their own or with a little lean protein mixed in. Chicken, shrimp, or tofu would make great additions.

Recipe Notes
This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled.
If you're not going to enjoy the zoodles right away, store the sauce and spiralized zucchini separately and then toss and chill before serving. Otherwise, your dish may become watered-down as the zucchini noodles will release water as they sit.
To keep these noodles gluten-free, substitute reduced-sodium tamari for the soy sauce.
Rice vinegar is made from fermented rice and has a slightly sweet and delicate taste. You should find it with other vinegars, or near the Asian food products in your grocery store. If you can't find it, apple cider vinegar would make a nice substitution.
