Keto Noodles Recipe (Keto Lo Mein)
Satisfy your Chinese takeout cravings but skip the carbo-load with this konjac noodle dish that tastes just like lo mein!
Ingredients
- 1 pound konjac noodles
- 1/3 cup coconut aminos or soy sauce
- 3 teaspoons rice vinegar unseasoned
- 1/4 teaspoon lime juice
- 1/3 cup water
- 2 teaspoons brown sugar substitute
- 2 green onions thinly sliced, reserve 1 tablespoon for garnish
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum
Instructions
- Place the noodles in a colander and rinse with cold water for at least 1-2 minutes, following the package directions. This helps remove their natural odor and excess liquid.
- While the noodles drain, whisk together the coconut aminos (or soy sauce), rice vinegar, lime juice, water, brown sugar substitute, and all but 1 tablespoon of the green onions in a large mixing bowl.
- Add the well-drained noodles to the bowl with the marinade. Toss thoroughly so the noodles are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or overnight for deeper flavor.
- When you're ready to cook, place a fine sieve over a large bowl and drain the noodles, catching the marinade below.
- Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the drained marinated noodles and toss with tongs for 2–3 minutes. The noodles will sizzle and may pop—keep stirring until they’re heated through and slightly dry. Transfer to a serving bowl.
- Reduce the heat to medium. Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet. When it starts to bubble, sprinkle the xanthan gum evenly over the top, whisking continuously until the mixture thickens, about 1-2 minute.
- Pour the sauce over the noodles and garnish with reserved green onions. Serve hot.
