Description
A vibrant, low-carb twist on the classic Pad Thai featuring Shirataki noodles, tender chicken, and fresh vegetables.
Ingredients
Scale
- 14 oz Shirataki Noodles
- 7 oz Chicken (diced)
- 2 Eggs (beaten)
- 3 Spring Onions (finely chopped)
- 1/4 cup Peanuts (unsalted, roasted)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 1/2 tbsp Fish Sauce
- 1 tbsp Low Carb Sugar Substitute
- 1/4 tsp Red Pepper Flakes
- 3 tbsp Lemon Juice
- 3 tbsp Sesame Oil
Instructions
- Prepare the Noodles: Begin by bringing a pot of water to a boil. Carefully add the Shirataki noodles and cook for 2 minutes. Drain well and set aside to prevent sogginess.
- Crisp the Noodles: In a non-stick skillet, heat one tablespoon of sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add the noodles, making sure they’re evenly spread out. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until they gain a light golden color and a crispy texture. Remove them from the pan, but don’t forget to save that pan for the rest of your ingredients!
- Cook the Chicken: In the same skillet, add the remaining sesame oil. Once heated, toss in the diced chicken and sauté for 3-4 minutes, allowing it to brown beautifully.
- Add the Flavor Makers: Stir in the peanuts, keeping a handful reserved for garnish, along with the minced garlic. Sauté for an additional minute, allowing the garlic to release its captivating aroma.
- Incorporate the Eggs: Pour in the beaten eggs, stirring vigorously to scramble them with the chicken mixture until they solidify and entwine with the savory elements.
- Toss and Season: Gently add the crispy noodles back into the pan, then season with fish sauce, red pepper flakes, and the sugar substitute. Toss everything together until evenly coated and flavors meld beautifully.
- Finishing Touches: Divide the Pad Thai onto plates. Drizzle with fresh lemon juice and garnish with the remaining chopped spring onions. Serve hot and enjoy the magic of this delightful dish!
