Garnished with fresh green onions for a pop of flavor, Keto Pansit Bihon is a satisfying, guilt-free comfort food you’ll want to make again and again.
Drain and rinse the shirataki noodles under cold water for a few minutes. Then, boil them in a pot for 2-3 minutes, drain, and set aside.
Slice the chicken breast into thin strips. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Prepare the vegetables: thinly slice the cabbage, julienne the carrots, slice the celery, and cut the red bell pepper into strips. Dice the onion and mince the garlic.
In a large pan or wok over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the chicken strips and cook until they are golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the onion and garlic until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
Add the sliced cabbage, carrots, celery, and bell pepper to the pan. Stir-fry the vegetables for about 3-4 minutes until they are cooked but still crisp.
Return the cooked chicken to the pan. Add the soy sauce and fish sauce. Stir everything together until well combined.
Add the shirataki noodles to the chicken and vegetable mixture. Toss well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed and coated in the sauce.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy your keto-friendly pansit bihon!
