Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized Low-carb sweet potato (e.g., Japanese or white sweet potato)
- 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger (grated)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 3 tablespoons Tamari or coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Sugar-free sweetener (e.g., monk fruit or erythritol)
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon Toasted sesame seeds
- 2 stalks Green onions (sliced)
- 2 tablespoons Avocado oil (for cooking)
Instructions
Peel the sweet potatoes and use a spiralizer to create noodle-like strands. If you do not have a spiralizer, you can cut them into thin, julienned strips.
Heat avocado oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the sweet potato noodles and stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until they are tender but still slightly firm (al dente). Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, tamari or coconut aminos, rice vinegar, sugar-free sweetener, and red pepper flakes to create the sesame ginger sauce.
Return the skillet to medium heat, and pour the sauce into the pan. Let it simmer for 1-2 minutes to slightly thicken and incorporate the flavors.
Add the cooked sweet potato noodles to the skillet and toss them gently to coat with the sauce. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to ensure the noodles are well coated and warmed through.
Transfer the noodles to serving bowls or plates, and garnish with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
Serve immediately and enjoy while warm!
