Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 20 oz shirataki noodles drained weight (not packaged weight with water)
- 12 oz medium shrimp
- 1 Tbsp avocado or coconut oil
- 1 bell pepper, julienned
- 1 medium carrot, julienned
- 2 cups chopped fresh spinach or shredded napa cabbage
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 stalks green onion, thinly sliced separate white and green parts
- cornstarch to thicken sauce (optional) if needed
- cilantro and chopped peanuts, for garnish (optional)
Thai Stir Fry Sauce:
- 2 Tbsp rice vinegar
- 2 Tbsp oyster sauce
- 2 Tbsp peanut butter
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp honey
- 1.5 tsp sriracha
- 1/4 tsp ground ginger
- 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper
Instructions
- Whisk all Thai stir-fry sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Rinse shirataki noodles in a colander under running water for a minute or so. Drain completely to avoid watery sauce (you can even dab with a paper towel if necessary). Set aside and let it dry in the colander until ready to use.
- Preheat avocado or coconut oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add white parts of green onion and garlic and stir fry for about 1 minute.
- Add bell pepper, carrots, and spinach or cabbage to the pan and fry for 2 more minutes.
- Add shrimp to the pan and stir fry until the shrimp begins to turn pink.
- Finally, add shirataki noodles and stir fry sauce. Mix well. If the sauce needs thickening, mix 1 to 2 tsp potato or corn starch with a bit of water and stir it in.
- Transfer the stir fry to a serving plate and garnish with green parts of your green onion, chopped peanuts, and cilantro.
