MAIN DISH: SPICY SESAME NOODLES (click here to print)

Ingredients:

  • 8 oz shirataki (i.e. miracle) noodles or for Paleo you can use buckwheat noodles (Soba)
  • 1 garlic clove, minced

  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger (I grated mine on the smallest holed side of a box grater)
  • 3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
  • 3 tablespoon coconut aminos
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 ½ teaspoons sriracha (Thai hot sauce – found by the other Asian products)
  • 2 teaspoon sugar free honey (available at walmart)
  • 1 cup chopped, cooked chicken breast
  • 1 cup diced scallions (green onions)
  • ½ cup chopped cilantro

Directions:

  1.  Boil salted water in a large pot and cook the noodles al dente according to package directions.
  2. When the noodles goes in, mist a skillet with cooking spray and add the garlic. Bring over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, for a few minutes until garlic is fragrant and snow peas are softer, yet still firm enough to crunch.
  3. Combine the ginger, vinegar, soy sauce, canola oil, water, sesame oil, sriracha and honey in a small bowl and stir to combine.
  4. When the are  cooked, transfer to a colander to drain and then pour the spaghetti back into the pot. Add the chopped chicken pieces and snow peas/garlic. Pour the prepared sauce from step three over the spaghetti and stir until coated. Add the scallions and cilantro and stir in. Serve immediately.

TIP: please test to see if you can eat buckwheat (soya) noodles. They are higher in carbs but do not get absorbed like most carbs. Contain an ingredient which removes them from your system quickly.
