Pad Thai "Noodles"

I have come across many grain free noodles recipes on the internet that used  zucchini, squash, cucumber, sweet potatoes to substitute for noodles, but had never tried making it myself. I have a bumper crop of zucchini in my garden this year and been trying to give them away. Then I thought about these zucchini noodle recipes.
So I decided to try making Pad Thai with shredded zucchini today. It turned out a bit more wet than rice noodle pad thai as the zucchini release quite a bit of water when cooked. I also mixed in the eggs with zucchini like I'd normally do with pad thai, the eggs became a bit runny. Next time, I'd scramble the eggs first and set aside, and toss with the noodles at the end.
