Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Konjac noodles (shirataki noodles)
- 150 grams Chicken breast, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon Gochugaru (Korean red chili flakes)
- 1 tablespoon Gochujang (Korean chili paste, low-carb if available)
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce (low-sodium)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 3 stalks Green onions, chopped (reserve some for garnish)
- 50 grams Mozzarella cheese, shredded (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon Oil (for cooking)
Instructions
Drain and rinse the konjac noodles thoroughly under cold water to remove the briny odor. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the thinly sliced chicken breast to the skillet and season lightly with salt and pepper. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and lightly browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the sesame oil along with the minced garlic and chopped green onions. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the gochugaru, gochujang, soy sauce, and 2 tablespoons of water to the skillet. Stir well to create a smooth sauce, ensuring the ingredients are evenly combined.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, mixing it into the spicy sauce.
Add the rinsed konjac noodles to the skillet, tossing them with the chicken and sauce until they are fully coated and heated through, about 2-3 minutes.
Optional: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the noodles and cover the skillet for 1-2 minutes until the cheese melts, creating a creamy, cheesy buldak topping.
Remove the skillet from heat and plate the noodles. Garnish with remaining chopped green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your fiery Low Carb Spicy Buldak Noodles!
