Recommended Ingredients

I recommend the following veggies for this recipe:

  • broccoli or baby broccoli florets
  • bell peppers (various colors, chopped, and seeds removed)
  • 14 oz shirataki noodles rinsed in cold water and drained in a coriander
  • shallots
  • mushrooms
  • carrot
  • red onion

If you’re on a low carb diet, all of these veggies are perfectly fine. However, some strict keto dieters will restrict their intake of onion and carrot.

Shirataki noodles: how to make them taste great

You’re either going to love shirataki, or hate them. At first, I was not a fan, but then I learned how to make them properly. Use these tips for the best shirataki noodles in any dish:

  • remove and drain
  • rinse with cold water
  • then, rinse again
  • do not pre-cook (they are already soft and do not need to be boiled)

I always add shirataki noodles toward the end of my cooking, then add sauces for the noodles to absorb. As always, if you do not like them, or haven’t tried them before, do a little test-run first.

Shirataki noodle substitutions

Shirataki are naturally low in carbs and calories (plus have lots of health benefits). However, If you’re not a fan of shirataki noodles, try these keto-friendly substitutions instead:

  • more veggies, like squash
  • zucchini spirals (zoodles)
  • tofu
  • chicken, steak, or pork

FAQ

What are some other keto friendly veggies I can use?

You may use any variety of peppers, cabbage, broccoli, or mushrooms for recipe substitutions.

How do I make this stir-fry spicy?

I like to add a bit more red pepper flakes or chili sauce to my stir-fry if I’m craving spicy foods. If you do not have red pepper flakes, try a pinch of ground red pepper or chili powder.

Can I add other ingredients?

Yes, a hardboiled egg, tofu, grilled chicken/pork/beef are all wonderful additions to this recipe.

How long will this keep?

Leftovers will keep up to 2 days if stored in an air-tight refrigerated container.
