Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large zucchini
- 300 grams chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic
- 100 grams shiitake mushrooms
- 3 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 stalks spring onions
Instructions
Use a spiralizer to create zucchini noodles from the two large zucchinis. Set the noodles aside.
Cut the chicken breast into thin strips and season with sea salt and black pepper.
Slice the shiitake mushrooms and finely chop the garlic and spring onions.
Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add chicken strips to the pan and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the sliced shiitake mushrooms to the pan and cook until they are softened, about 3 minutes.
Pour in the coconut aminos and fish sauce, stirring well to combine everything.
Add the zucchini noodles to the pan and toss to coat them in the sauce. Cook for 2 minutes, allowing the noodles to soften slightly.
Remove the pan from heat and garnish with chopped spring onions before serving.
