Miso Ramen Zucchini Noodle Soup with Chicken

Last week, I posted up a photo on Instagram from a photo shoot I did with my favorite fitness brand, Peloton Cycle. They invited me to a gorgeous apartment in NYC to whip up two brand new spiralized recipes.

For the first recipe, I made one of my favorite go-to spiralized noodle soup dishes: a miso ramen with chicken and zucchini noodles.

You can grab the recipe here, if you don’t want to bother scrolling through the beautiful step-by-step photos and my ramblings in this post… or if you’re just antsy. I get it.

Two things.

First, let me tell you about Peloton. If you haven’t read my weight loss story/saga, you can read about it here, but basically, once the gym in my apartment building got one of Peloton’s spin bikes, I was hooked and the weight fell off.

Peloton has one spin studio in Manhattan. From that studio, they live stream classes on their bikes, which are available for purchase. You can also watch pre-recorded (they’re called “on demand”) classes, in case you can’t make the live classes. The bikes are unbelievable – the most comfortable I’ve ever sat one (and I used to do a lot of spinning at studios) – and they come with these big, beautiful, high-definition touch screens, where you pick your classes and stream them.

I love the live classes – sometimes, the instructor will call out your name (there’s a leaderboard on the bike’s screen) and it’s really motivating. My favorite instructor is Robin Arzon, she’s the bomb.

It’s a convenient way to keep in shape and if you like spinning and can’t get to a studio as much as you’d like, I really recommend the bike! I tell Lu every day that if when we move out of this apartment, we have to build a bike into our rent budget, haha! I’m a lifer, now.

Secondly, what I love about this feature are the pictures that were captured by the photographer, Isaac James – he was a blast to work with and captured my happiness to be there exquisitely.

I truly feel blessed to be doing what I do every single day with Inspiralized. It’s truly a dream come true, and I feel empowered, inspired and fulfilled every day. When I was looking through the photos, I saw my pure, genuine joy.

Enough with the corniness, if you’d like to grab this recipe, click here to head over to the Peloton Cycle blog, called Cadence (clever, eh?) for more step-by-step photos. And if you have a Peloton bike yourself, maybe I’ll see you on the leaderboard – I’m username Inspiralized! Duh.

  • Hi Ali - I am a huge fan of you, your blog and your inspiralizer. I received as gift from my son with your cyber Monday sale and use it at least 2-3 times a week. My husband and son love your recipes as well, and my office staff swoon over my lunchs which are frequent leftovers from dinner. My question to you is where is the second recipe you prepared and also when cleaning the inspiralizer with the palm brush which I also purchased per your suggestion, should I turn the blade to A for safety?
  • I bought an inspiralizer last March or April and used it 2-3 times a week all summer and into the fall. I love your recipes and have followed you for the last two years. In October, I noticed a problem with my inspiralizer. The blade is stuck on D and I cannot switch it to any other size. I even had my husband try to turn it and he can't. I still use it but only on the D blade. I want to be able to cut different sizes..... What can I do about this problem.....I believe that it is guaranteed for 1 full year....must I send it back or what?
    • That happened to me a couple of months ago--and I was glad it was stuck on "D" because that's the one I use the most. However, longing to try some of the newer recipes with different sizes, I soaked the inspiralizer in a large bowl of tepid, slightly warm water for a couple of hours. That worked and it moved freely again just as when new. To be sure it continued to work freely, I put a little coconut oil where the square cylinder turns when changing to A B C or D selections (part with blades). It's been 2 or 3 months--still works great. Love my Inspiralizer and all the recipes that inspire me to try new veggie combinations.
