Instructions

    1.
    Drain the Shirataki noodles and rinse them thoroughly under cold running water. Heat a skillet over a medium heat. Add the noodles to the dry skillet. Cook for 7-8 minutes, until hot through, dry and firm.
    2.
    While the noodles are cooking, you can prepare the sauce. Add the fish sauce, tamari sauce, tomato sauce, lime juice, and maple-flavored syrup to a small bowl. Whisk together to combine. You may adjust quantities of the condiments as desired to suit your personal tastes.
    3.
    Thinly slice the garlic and the bell pepper and grate the ginger. Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet or wok over a low/ medium heat. Add the garlic, ginger and bell pepper. Sweat gently for 2-3 minutes until tender and fragrant.
    4.
    Add the shrimp and bean sprouts to the skillet. Stir well to combine. Stir fry over a medium/high heat for 2-3 minutes until the bean sprouts are hot through and the shrimp have turned pink. While the shrimp is cooking, crack the eggs into a bowl. Whisk together until smooth and well combined.
    5.
    Once the shrimp has turned pink, pour the beaten egg into the skillet. Allow to settle and cook for a moment, then scramble into the shrimp and vegetable mixture.
    6.
    Add the cooked noodles and prepared sauce to the skillet. Stir well to combine, tossing the noodles with the sauce and other ingredients. Heat through briefly.
    7.
    Divide the Keto Pad Thai between two serving bowls. Roughly chop the peanuts and scatter over the bowls. Serve hot.
