Compression firms the noodles and the towels will come out wet. Evidence of water removed. Works vey well!

Pouring the boiling water over the noodles instead of submerging the noodles in the water…
My god, you’re a genius!

I do the same thing! Salt the zoodles for 15-30 mins and leave them in a colander. Then I use paper towel to squeeze out/soak up the extra moisture and toss it all around until it’s all pretty dry, then I sauté them on the stove. This really helps reduce the excess moisture!

Nope…freezing pulls all the moisture out and damages the plant structure. So, cooling only releases the moisture that has been pulled out and frozen on the veggie.

We recommend putting soap on some sort of scrubbing brush and scrubbing down those areas!

Yes, I learned the trick of salting the veggies to remove some of the moisture from Asian cooking. It really helps avoid having soggy zucchini noodles.

I find this cuts down on the watery noodles. Then I drain if any water is left. I add my sauce after I finish the cooking.

Before or after cooking them?

Let them sit for 15-25 minutes. Then, I boil water, usually bc my hubby will only eat regular pasta and when his pasta is cooked and drained, take the same water and pour it over the zucchini noodles for a quick blanch and rinse off of the salt. Then serve and eat.

I meal prep and freeze a ton and they are always super soggy after defrosting. Thanks!
