Keto Japchae Noodles

Keto Japchae Noodles are a delightful twist on the traditional Korean dish, using low-carb zucchini noodles to create a healthy and flavorful brunch option. Packed with colorful vegetables and savory marinated beef, this dish is both satisfying and keto-friendly.

Ingredients

• Zucchini - 2 medium, spiralized
• Beef sirloin - 200 grams, thinly sliced
• Soy sauce (or coconut aminos) - 2 tablespoons
• Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Red bell pepper - 1 medium, sliced
• Carrot - 1 small, julienned
• Shiitake mushrooms - 100 grams, sliced
• Spinach - 100 grams, fresh
• Green onions - 2 stalks, chopped
• Black pepper - to taste
• Sesame seeds - 1 tablespoon, for garnish

Steps

1. In a bowl, marinate the sliced beef with soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, and black pepper for 15 minutes.
2. While the beef is marinating, spiralize the zucchini and set aside.
3. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add a little sesame oil and sauté the marinated beef until browned, about 4-5 minutes. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
4. In the same skillet, add the sliced bell pepper, carrot, and mushrooms. Stir-fry for about 5 minutes until they start to soften.
5. Add the spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.
6. Return the cooked beef to the skillet, then add the spiralized zucchini noodles. Toss everything together and stir-fry for an additional 2-3 minutes until the noodles are heated through.
7. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, then garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
