Keto Dinner Recipe for One

Simple and fast, These Keto Warm Almond Butter Noodles are THE Asian noodles you will be making repeatedly. Not only are they super fast to make, but they are also a high protein noodle recipe packed with flavours. Filling enough as a main meal, or omit the Air Fryer Rotisserie Chicken and serve them along with some of my other favourite Asian meals like this Keto Chinese BBQ Chicken with Pickled Vegetables, Quick and Easy Keto Asian Broccoli Salad with Peanut Sauce or these Easy Keto Korean Ground Beef

Ingredients for Keto Warm Almond Butter Noodles

The sauce for these noodles is based on soy sauce. Adding some almond butter helps the sauce stick to the noodles and adds depth to this high protein keto recipe. Here are all the ingredients you will need along with some substitutions:

• Soy sauces - Although you can use any soy sauce you want, my favourite brand is Haku Black Garlic Shoyu. This Black Garlic Shoyu is packed with funky umami notes & hints of caramel which adds more flavour to this high protein noodle recipe. However, I have also made this leftover keto rotisserie chicken recipe using Kirkoman's soy sauce or for a gluten-free version, feel free to use Coconut Aminos. (Note: Coconut aminos taste sweeter than soy sauce so make sure that you adjust accordingly to suit your taste.)
• Almond Butter - Make sure that you stir your almond butter as there is a good chance that the oil will have separated slightly. If you do not have any almond butter, you can use any homemade nut or seed butter, or peanut butter or omit the butter altogether and use toasted sesame oil instead!
• Shirataki Noodles - Also known as Miracle noodles, these noodles are virtually calorie-free! Make sure that you drain and rinse the noodles well as most brands have a tendency to have a slightly "funky" odor when you open them. (Note - I used Thrive Market Shirataki Ramen noodles for that more authentic Asian look!)
• Chicken - I use any leftover chicken but you can omit the chicken if you wish and add any type of leftover beef or fish. You can even omit the meat component altogether and add some additional almond butter or sesame oil for a hearty keto dinner recipe for one!
• Green onion and Shredded Cabbage– These ingredients are optional but they not only help to add some colour to the dish but also some texture and bulk.
• Spices - Garlic, ginger, salt, pepper and red pepper flakes help to round out this dish.

What are shirataki noodles made from?

Shirataki noodles are long, white noodles. They are often called miracle noodles or konjac noodles.

They’re made from glucomannan, a type of fiber that comes from the root of the konjac plant.

Konjac grows in Japan, China, and Southeast Asia. It contains very few digestible carbs — but most of its carbs come from glucomannan fiber.

“Shirataki” is Japanese for “white waterfall,” which describes the noodles’ translucent appearance. They’re made by mixing glucomannan flour with regular water and a little lime water, which helps the noodles hold their shape.
