Ingredients

• 400 grams Shirataki noodles
• 200 grams Prawns, peeled and deveined
• 150 grams Boneless chicken thigh, sliced
• 2 large Eggs
• 100 grams Bean sprouts
• 50 grams Chinese chives, chopped
• 3 tablespoons Coconut aminos
• 1 tablespoon Dark soy sauce
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 whole Red chili, sliced
• 3 tablespoons Lard or coconut oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground white pepper

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the shirataki noodles under cold water thoroughly to remove any packaging odor and set aside to drain.

Step 2

Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of lard or coconut oil.

Step 3

Once the oil is hot, add sliced chicken and stir-fry until browned and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Step 4

In the same pan, add another tablespoon of oil and stir-fry the prawns until they just turn pink. Remove and set aside with the chicken.

Step 5

Add the remaining oil to the pan along with minced garlic and sliced red chili. Stir-fry until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Step 6

Add the shirataki noodles to the pan and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, allowing the noodles to soak up the flavors.

Step 7

Push the noodles to one side of the pan, crack the eggs into the empty space, and scramble them until just set.

Step 8

Add the cooked chicken, prawns, bean sprouts, and chopped Chinese chives to the pan.

Step 9

Pour in the coconut aminos, dark soy sauce, salt, and white pepper. Toss everything together until well combined and heated through.

Step 10

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot, garnished with extra sliced red chili if desired.
