Ingredients
- 200 grams Konjac noodles (shirataki noodles)
- 150 grams Chicken breast, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon Gochugaru (Korean red chili flakes)
- 1 tablespoon Gochujang (Korean chili paste, low-carb if available)
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce (low-sodium)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 3 stalks Green onions, chopped (reserve some for garnish)
- 50 grams Mozzarella cheese, shredded (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon Oil (for cooking)
Directions
Step 1
Drain and rinse the konjac noodles thoroughly under cold water to remove the briny odor. Set aside.
Step 2
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Add the thinly sliced chicken breast to the skillet and season lightly with salt and pepper. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and lightly browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Step 4
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the sesame oil along with the minced garlic and chopped green onions. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Step 5
Add the gochugaru, gochujang, soy sauce, and 2 tablespoons of water to the skillet. Stir well to create a smooth sauce, ensuring the ingredients are evenly combined.
Step 6
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, mixing it into the spicy sauce.
Step 7
Add the rinsed konjac noodles to the skillet, tossing them with the chicken and sauce until they are fully coated and heated through, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 8
Optional: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the noodles and cover the skillet for 1-2 minutes until the cheese melts, creating a creamy, cheesy buldak topping.
Step 9
Remove the skillet from heat and plate the noodles. Garnish with remaining chopped green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds if desired.
Step 10
Serve immediately and enjoy your fiery Low Carb Spicy Buldak Noodles!
