Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Keto-friendly noodles (e.g., shirataki or zucchini noodles)
- 2 tablespoons Avocado oil
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 3 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce or tamari (for gluten-free)
- 1.5 tablespoons Sriracha or chili garlic sauce
- 1 teaspoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Monk fruit sweetener (or your preferred keto-friendly sweetener)
- 2 teaspoons Toasted sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons Green onions, sliced thinly
- 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for extra heat)
Instructions
Prepare the keto-friendly noodles according to their package instructions. For shirataki noodles, rinse thoroughly under cold water and boil for 2-3 minutes to remove their natural aroma before patting them dry. For zucchini noodles, spiralize the zucchini and pat dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
In a large skillet or wok, heat the avocado oil and sesame oil over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet, and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
Stir in the soy sauce or tamari, sriracha, rice vinegar, and monk fruit sweetener. Mix well to combine and let the sauce simmer for 1-2 minutes to meld the flavors.
Add the prepared noodles to the skillet, tossing them gently in the sauce until they are evenly coated and heated through. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
Remove from heat and plate the noodles. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds, green onions, and crushed red pepper flakes if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful Keto Spicy Sesame Garlic Noodles!
