Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare the Noodles:

• If using shirataki noodles, rinse them well and dry-fry them in a skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes to remove excess moisture.

2️⃣ Cook the Protein:

• Remove from pan and set aside.

3️⃣ Scramble the Eggs:

• Push the chicken/shrimp to one side of the pan.

• Crack two eggs into the empty side and scramble until fully cooked.

• Remove from the pan and set aside.

4️⃣ Make the Keto Pad Thai Sauce:

• In a bowl, whisk together coconut aminos, fish sauce, rice vinegar, sugar-free sweetener, sesame oil, garlic powder, chili flakes, xanthan gum, and water.

• Simmer in a saucepan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, until thickened.

5️⃣ Stir-Fry Everything Together:

• In the same skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil and sauté onion, red bell pepper, green onions, and garlic for 2-3 minutes.

• Add back the cooked chicken/shrimp and scrambled eggs.
