So I made these low carb drunken noodles! They were inspired by pad kee mao, a popular Thai dish that’s often eaten as a hangover remedy (kinda funny since they’re usually served with a cold brew). I replaced the rice noodles with Shirataki noodles which are well suited to this and other Asian dishes.
Add warm water (1/3 cup), erythritol (2 teaspoons), and xanthan gum (1/8 teaspoon) to a bowl and whisk until dissolved. Be sure to sprinkle the xanthan gum over the top, otherwise, it will clump (note 3). Add the soy sauce (1/2 cup)and fish sauce (1 tablespoon), and whisk. Set aside. Rinse noodles.
This recipe for Thai-style drunken noodles is great for a hangover, and it's good for entertaining too! Place rice noodles into a bowl. Fill the bowl with hot water and separate noodles with a fork or your hands. Soak until softened, about 45 minutes.
Add garlic and ginger and cook for 10 seconds. Add bell pepper, zucchini, tomato and the whites of the chopped green onion and cook for 2 minutes. Add noodles to the pan and pour the sauce over the noodles. Toss and cook for a few minutes until warmed through. Remove from heat and stir in chopped basil.
