Why This Recipe Works
- Bold, balanced flavors—ginger and soy team up for that umami punch, while a touch of honey keeps things from getting too salty.
- Quick and foolproof—no fancy techniques, just fresh ingredients and a skillet.
- Meal-prep MVP—pack the filling and tortillas separately, then assemble when hunger strikes.
- Endlessly adaptable—swap in tofu, chicken, or whatever veggies you’ve got lurking in the fridge.
- Low-carb friendly—zucchini noodles keep it light, but you can also skip the tortilla and turn it into a bowl.
The Story Behind the Sauce
This wrap is my twist on the classic Asian stir-fry—bright, fresh, and packed with texture. The ginger-soy combo is a timeless pairing, one that’s been making taste buds happy for centuries. But instead of rice or noodles, we’re using spiralized zucchini for a lighter, veggie-forward spin. It’s the kind of dish that feels both familiar and exciting at the same time.
Essential Ingredients & Tools
For the Marinade (aka the Flavor Bomb)
- 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce (or tamari if you’re gluten-free)
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar (that tangy kick is everything)
- 1 tbsp honey (or maple syrup for my vegan friends)
- 1 tsp freshly grated ginger (none of that powdered stuff—trust me)
- 1 garlic clove, minced (because garlic makes everything better)
- 1 tsp sesame oil (for that nutty depth)
For the Filling (Crunch Central)
- 2 medium zucchinis, spiralized into noodles
- 1 cup shredded carrots (for color and sweetness)
- 1 cup thinly sliced bell peppers (I like red for that pop of color)
- 1/2 cup sliced scallions (a little oniony bite never hurt anybody)
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro (skip if you’re one of those cilantro-haters)
For Assembly (The Grand Finale)
- 4 large whole-grain tortillas (or collard leaves if you’re keeping it low-carb)
- 1/2 cup cooked edamame (or tofu for extra protein)
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds (because everything’s better with a little crunch)
Tools You’ll Need
- A spiralizer (or a julienne peeler in a pinch)
- A couple of mixing bowls
- A non-stick skillet or wok (if you’re feeling fancy)

How to Make Ginger-Soy Zucchini Noodle Wrap
- Make the Marinade
Grab a bowl and whisk together the 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tsp ginger, 1 minced garlic clove, and 1 tsp sesame oil. If your honey’s being stubborn, warm it for a few seconds to help it dissolve. Let this sit for 5 minutes—this little wait lets the flavors get to know each other, making everything taste even better. - Sauté the Veggies
Heat up your skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of oil. Toss in the 1 cup shredded carrots and 1 cup sliced bell peppers and stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until they’re just tender but still have some crunch. You want that fresh bite, not mushy veggies. - Cook the Zoodles
Push the veggies to one side and add the 2 medium spiralized zucchinis to the empty space. Cook them for 1–2 minutes, tossing occasionally. Zucchini releases water fast, so don’t overdo it—you want them pliable but still crisp. - Bring It All Together
Pour that glorious marinade over everything and toss gently to coat every strand. Let it cook for just 1 more minute—enough to warm the sauce without reducing it too much. Take it off the heat and stir in the 1/2 cup sliced scallions and 1/4 cup chopped cilantro for a fresh finish. - Wrap It Up
Warm your 4 large whole-grain tortillas for a few seconds to make them pliable. Lay one flat, pile on the filling (leaving a little border), sprinkle with 1/2 cup cooked edamame and 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds, then fold the sides in and roll it up tight. Let it sit seam-side down for a minute so it stays together.
Pro Technique
Crispier Zoodles = Better Wraps
Before cooking, toss your spiralized zucchini with ½ tsp salt and let it sit for 5 minutes. This draws out excess moisture—just pat it dry with paper towels before cooking. No one wants a soggy wrap.
Layering Like a Pro
To keep things from getting messy, place a big lettuce leaf on the tortilla before adding the filling. It acts like a moisture barrier. If you’re using collard greens, blanch them for 10 seconds to soften the veins so they roll without cracking.
Chef’s Wisdom
The Soggy Wrap Dilemma
The biggest culprit? Wet zoodles or over-marinating. Always pat your zoodles dry after salting, and assemble your wraps right before eating. If you’re meal-prepping, store the filling and tortillas separately.
Want More Flavor?
Try adding 1 tsp miso paste to the marinade for extra umami, or sprinkle crushed peanuts on top for crunch. If you like heat, stir in ½ tsp chili crisp—it’s a game-changer.
Storage & Freshness Guide
Fridge Storage
Keep the filling and tortillas separate in airtight containers for up to 3 days. The marinade helps preserve the veggies, but zoodles soften over time. To revive, reheat the filling in a skillet for 2–3 minutes to evaporate excess moisture.
Freezer Tips
Freeze the unassembled filling in portioned bags for up to 1 month. Thaw overnight in the fridge. Don’t freeze assembled wraps—tortillas turn gummy.

Something Sweet
- Mango Sticky Rice: Sweet mango and Coconut Rice balance the savory-spicy wrap with tropical flair.

FAQs
- Can I use store-bought zoodles?

Skip the honey (use a keto sweetener) and use collard wraps. - Why is my marinade too salty?
Use low-sodium soy sauce and taste before adding extra salt. - Can I grill the wraps?
Absolutely! Brush with oil and grill for 1–2 minutes per side for a crispy exterior. - Best way to reheat?
Skillet, not microwave—keeps the texture intact.
