Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Shirataki noodles
- 4 cups Chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos
- 300 grams Chicken breast
- 200 grams Shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 units Shallots, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon Fish sauce
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Chili paste
- 3 stalks Green onions, chopped
- 1 bunch Cilantro, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Rinse the shirataki noodles thoroughly under cold water and set aside.
In a large pot, heat the coconut oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sliced shallots, sautéing until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
Add the chicken breast to the pot and cook until browned on all sides, approximately 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.
Pour the chicken broth into the pot and bring to a boil. Once boiling, add the coconut aminos, fish sauce, and chili paste. Stir to combine.
Slice the cooked chicken breast into thin strips and return it to the pot along with the shrimp. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, until the shrimp are opaque and cooked through.
Add the rinsed shirataki noodles to the simmering broth, and cook for an additional 5 minutes to allow the noodles to absorb the flavors.
Add lime juice, salt, and black pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning as desired.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped green onions and cilantro before serving.
