Ingredients
  

For the Pad Thai:
  • 1 package Shirataki noodles 14 ounces
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 1/2 large onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 pound chicken thighs chopped into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups bean sprouts
  • 1/4 block firm tofu chopped into small pieces (100 grams)
  • 3 stalks green onions
  • 3 tablespoons peanuts chopped
  • 2 tablespoons sugar-free ketchup
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar substitute
  • 2 tablespoons fish sauce
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce

Equipment

  • Large skillet or wok
  • Spatula
  • Knife and cutting board
  • Measuring spoons

Method
 

Instructions:
  1. Step 1: Prepare the Shirataki Noodles. Rinse the Shirataki noodles under cold water for a few minutes. Drain and set aside. You can also pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
  2. Step 2: Cook the Chicken. In a large skillet or wok, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent. Next, add the chicken thighs and cook until they are no longer pink, approximately 5-7 minutes.
  3. Step 3: Scramble the Eggs. Push the chicken and onion mixture to one side of the skillet. Crack the eggs into the empty side and scramble them until fully cooked. Combine with the chicken.
  4. Step 4: Add the Noodles. Add the prepared Shirataki noodles to the skillet. Stir everything together, coating the noodles with the flavors of the chicken and eggs.
  5. Step 5: Incorporate the Vegetables. Add the bean sprouts and tofu to the skillet. Stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
  6. Step 6: Season the Dish. In a small bowl, mix the sugar-free ketchup, brown sugar substitute, fish sauce, and soy sauce. Pour this sauce over the stir-fry and toss everything to combine thoroughly.
  7. Step 7: Garnish and Serve. Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions and peanuts. Serve hot and enjoy your Keto Pad Thai!

Notes

  • Feel free to add more vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini for added nutrients.
  • For a vegetarian option, replace chicken with additional tofu or your favorite plant-based protein.
  • Adjust the sweetness to your taste by reducing the amount of brown sugar substitute.
