Instructions
- 1
Using a vegetable peeler or julienne peeler, shave or julienne the zucchini lengthwise into long, thin ribbons or matchsticks, stopping when you reach the seedy core. Place the zucchini in a large mixing bowl, toss with the sea salt, and let stand for 10 minutes until slightly softened and a small amount of liquid has released.

While the zucchini rests, whisk together the white miso paste, rice vinegar, toasted sesame oil, olive oil, honey, grated ginger, and tamari in a small bowl until smooth and fully combined. Add the red pepper flakes, if using.
