🍽️ Directions:
- Prep the noodles: Rinse the shirataki noodles well and sauté in a pan for 2–3 minutes until dry (this removes the rubbery texture).
- Make the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, coconut aminos, and a squeeze of lime juice. Adjust to taste.
- Cook everything together: In a large skillet, scramble your eggs. Add carrots, edamame, and chicken. Sauté for a few minutes.
- Toss & serve: Add in the noodles, pour over the sauce, and toss to coat evenly.
- Top it off: Finish with chopped peanuts and hemp seeds for crunch and extra protein.
👩🍳 Pro Tips:
- You can swap the chicken for shrimp or tofu.
- Add sriracha or chili crisp if you love a kick.
- Meal prep it: This reheats really well and keeps in the fridge for 3–4 days.
