Ingredients

• 200 grams Shirataki noodles
• 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
• 4 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, minced
• 1 teaspoon Szechuan peppercorns
• 1 teaspoon Red chili flakes
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce (or coconut aminos for stricter Keto)
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Erythritol
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 2 stalks Green onion, sliced
• 2 tablespoons Crushed peanuts or cashews (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Cilantro, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the shirataki noodles by draining them and rinsing thoroughly under cold water. Boil the noodles for 2-3 minutes to improve texture, then drain and pat them dry with a paper towel.

Step 2

In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the Szechuan peppercorns for 1-2 minutes until aromatic. Crush them slightly with the back of a spoon or a mortar and pestle.

Step 3

Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic, ginger, crushed Szechuan peppercorns, and red chili flakes. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4

Stir in the soy sauce (or coconut aminos), rice vinegar, erythritol, and sesame oil. Mix well to combine all the flavors.

Step 5

Add the prepared shirataki noodles to the skillet and toss them thoroughly in the sauce. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the noodles to absorb the flavors.

Step 6

Remove the skillet from heat and garnish the noodles with sliced green onions, crushed peanuts or cashews (if using), and freshly chopped cilantro.

Step 7

Serve hot and enjoy your Keto Spicy Garlic Szechuan Noodles!
