Keto Garlic Noodles

Keto Garlic Noodles are a delightful low-carb twist on traditional Chinese noodles, infused with aromatic garlic and a rich umami sauce. This dish is quick to prepare and perfect for a satisfying weeknight meal without the carbs.

Ingredients

• Shirataki noodles - 200 grams
• Garlic - 4 cloves, minced
• Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free) - 2 tablespoons
• Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
• Butter - 1 tablespoon
• Green onions - 2 stalks, chopped
• Red pepper flakes - 1/2 teaspoon (optional)
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste

Steps

1. Rinse the Shirataki noodles under cold water for 2-3 minutes to remove the odor, then drain and set aside.
2. In a large non-stick skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
3. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
4. Add the drained Shirataki noodles to the skillet, stirring well to coat them with the garlic and butter.
5. Pour in the soy sauce and sesame oil, mixing until the noodles are evenly coated and heated through, about 3-4 minutes.
6. Season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using) to taste.
7. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped green onions before serving.
