Low Carb Vegan Chow Mein
How to Make It
Step 1
Thinly slice the bell peppers, scallions and cabbage. Crush the garlic and grate the ginger. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or wok over a medium heat. Add the prepared vegetables, garlic and ginger to the skillet with the hot oil. Stir fry the vegetables for 6 minutes until just tender. Stir regularly, taking care not to burn the garlic and ginger.
Step 2
While the vegetables are cooking you can prepare the Keto chow mein sauce. Add the tamari sauce, lime juice, lakanto syrup, and sesame oil to a small bowl. Add the xanthan gum and whisk everything together until smooth and well combined.
Step 3
Add the zucchini noodles to the skillet. Stir well to combine, cooking the zucchini through for just a few minutes until only just tender. It is important not to overcook zucchini noodles or they will become too soft – they should only need a couple of minutes. If the skillet is a little dry, you may add just a splash of water or a little more oil as needed.
Step 4
Drizzle the Keto chow mein sauce over the cooked noodles and stir-fried vegetables. Remove from the heat. Toss to combine, coating everything evenly in the sauce.
Step 5
Divide into individual serving bowls. Scatter the sesame seeds evenly over each bowl. Serve hot with your preferred topping or sides. Please account for any additional ingredients in your macros.
