Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams chicken breast
- 400 grams zucchini noodles
- 3 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 medium carrot, julienned
- 1 medium bell pepper, julienned
- 1 small onion, sliced
- 2 stalks green onions, chopped
- 100 grams cabbage, shredded
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
Instructions
Slice the chicken breast into thin strips and marinate with 1 tablespoon of coconut aminos and 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. Let it sit for at least 10 minutes.
Heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the marinated chicken strips and stir-fry until fully cooked, about 5-6 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of coconut oil. Add the minced ginger and garlic, and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the sliced onion, julienned carrot, bell pepper, and shredded cabbage. Stir-fry the vegetables for about 3-4 minutes until they become slightly tender but still crisp.
Return the cooked chicken to the pan with the vegetables. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of coconut aminos and the rest of the sesame oil.
Add the zucchini noodles to the stir-fry and toss everything together until the noodles are well coated and heated through, about 2-3 minutes.
Season the dish with black pepper and sea salt to taste.
Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy your Paleo Chicken Hakka Noodles!
