Ingredients 

SAUCE

NOODLES

  • 1 pound spaghetti-shaped shirataki noodles

STIR-FRY

  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 1 pound medium to large fresh or frozen shrimp, (thawed if frozen, peeled and deveined)
  • 2 medium carrots, (cut into matchsticks)
  • ½ large red bell pepper, (chopped)

Instructions

MAKE THE SAUCE

  • Whisk together the water, hoisin sauce, tamari/soy sauce, and Sriracha in a small bowl. Stir in the garlic and ginger, then set aside.
    3 tablespoons water, 1 tablespoons hoisin sauce, 2 tablespoons low-sodium tamari, 2 teaspoons Sriracha sauce, 1 tablespoon minced garlic, 2 teaspoons minced ginger

PREP THE NOODLES

  • Rinse and drain the noodles in a small mesh strainer.
    1 pound spaghetti-shaped shirataki noodles
  • Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil over high heat, then add the noodles and cook for 3 minutes. Drain and rinse again.
  • In the same saucepan or a medium nonstick skillet, heat the noodles in the dry pan, stirring frequently, until the noodles are no longer moist.

COOK THE STIR-FRY

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a wok or very large skillet over medium-high heat.
    2 tablespoons coconut oil
  • Add half of the shrimp and cook until they just turn opaque, about 2 minutes, then remove to a plate lined with paper towels.
    1 pound medium to large fresh or frozen shrimp
  • Repeat with remaining shrimp.
  • Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the wok, then add the carrots and stir-fry for about a minute.
    2 medium carrots
  • Add the red bell peppers and stir-fry for about a minute.
    ½ large red bell pepper
  • Add the white parts of the bok choy and scallions and stir-fry for about a minute.
    1 head baby bok choy, 3 medium scallions
  • Add the broccoli slaw and green parts of the bok choy and stir-fry for about a minute.
    1 cup broccoli slaw
  • Return the shrimp to the pan, add the sauce, and cook for a minute or two until the sauce thickens and the shrimp is hot again.
  • Mix in the noodles and garnish with the green parts of the scallions.

Notes

This recipe is for 4 servings of stir fry.
When cooking with shirataki products, never skip the prep steps. Always rinse, boil, drain, and pan-fry.
To lower the sodium in this recipe, cut back on the sauces and add a bit of low-sodium chicken or vegetable stock instead. You can also reduce the amount of shrimp and replace it with more vegetables (this will increase carbs and decrease protein).
If using another protein in place of the shrimp, cut it into bite-sized cubes or slices and adjust the cooking time so the meat is cooked all the way through.
Leftovers can be stored covered in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
