Ingredients

• 3 pieces Zucchini (large, spiralized)
• 300 grams Chicken breast (boneless and skinless, sliced thin)
• 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 piece Onion (medium, thinly sliced)
• 1 piece Red bell pepper (thinly sliced)
• 1 medium Carrot (julienned)
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce (low sodium)
• 1 tablespoon Sambal oelek (or chili paste)
• 1 teaspoon Ginger (freshly grated)
• 2 pieces Eggs
• 2 pieces Spring onions (green parts, chopped)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Begin by spiralizing the zucchini to create zucchini noodles. You can use a spiralizer or a vegetable peeler for this. Set the noodles aside on paper towels to absorb excess moisture.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken breast and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.

Step 3

In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of coconut oil. Add the minced garlic, sliced onion, and ginger, sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the sliced red bell pepper and julienned carrot to the pan. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Step 5

Push the vegetables to the side of the pan and pour the beaten eggs into the empty space. Scramble the eggs until fully cooked, then mix them with the vegetables.

Step 6

Return the cooked chicken to the pan. Add the soy sauce, sambal oelek, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.

Step 7

Add the spiralized zucchini and gently toss to mix all ingredients thoroughly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the zucchini noodles are just tender.

Step 8

Remove from the heat, garnish with chopped spring onions and sesame seeds if using.

Step 9

Serve hot and enjoy your delicious low-carb Bami Goreng!
