Directions

1. In a small bowl stir together soy sauce, lime juice, sugar, fish sauce, tamarind paste, and red pepper flakes. Set aside.
2. Using a spiralizer or peeler create zucchini spaghetti (always read the directions for your spiral slicer as they vary by brand.) If you don't have a spiralizer use a regular vegetable peeler to vertically peel long, thin strips of the zucchini. This will form more of a wider "noodle" from the zucchini, like fettuccini.
3. Heat one tablespoon of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add zucchini noodles and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes, until zucchini noodles are tender but still retain some crunch. Let the noodles rest for about 3 minutes so that they can release all of the moisture. Transfer noodles to a bowl and drain the excess water from the pan.
4. Wipe the pan and heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add garlic and sauté for about 1 to 2 minutes, until fragrant. Add scallions and sauté for 1 to 2 minutes or until tender.
5. In a small bowl lightly beat eggs with a fork. Pour them into the pan and cook until they solidify, but are still moist - move the eggs around the skillet as they cook, so that they scramble a bit.
6. Pour the sauce into the skillet with scrambled eggs. Add the zucchini noodles and cook for about 1 more minute or until heated through.
7. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro and chopped cashews and serve.
