3 large zucchini
1/4 cup chicken stock
2 1/2 tablespoons tamarind paste
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons Asian chile pepper sauce
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon white sugar
2 tablespoons sesame oil
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
12 ounces skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
8 ounces peeled and deveined shrimp
2 eggs, beaten
2 tablespoons water, or as needed (optional)
3 cups bean sprouts, divided
6 green onions, chopped into 1-inch pieces
2 tablespoons chopped unsalted dry-roasted peanuts
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil

Instructions

Make zucchini noodles using a spiralizer.
Whisk chicken stock, tamarind paste, soy sauce, oyster sauce, chile pepper sauce, Worcestershire sauce, lime juice, and sugar together in a small bowl to make a smooth sauce.
Heat sesame oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add garlic and stir until fragrant, about 10 seconds. Add chicken and shrimp; cook and stir until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 5 to 7 minutes.
Push chicken and shrimp to the sides of the wok to make a space in the center. Pour eggs and scramble until firm, 2 to 3 minutes. Add zucchini noodles and sauce; cook and stir, adding water if needed, about 3 minutes. Add 2 cups bean sprouts and green onions; cook and stir until combined, 1 to 2 minutes.
Remove wok from heat and sprinkle peanuts over noodles. Serve garnished with remaining 1 cup bean sprouts and fresh basil.
