Recipe: Cucumber Noodles In Spicy Peanut Sauce: Keto

This one is keto-friendly, low carb (1 large cucumber is 9g of net carbs), high fat, and high on taste. My daughter was grabbing noodles off my plate and having them while wolfing down her Chipotle 😉 So, yes, it’s kid-friendly too

For the Peanut Sauce: (Makes 1/2 cup)

• 1 tbsp peanut butter (make your own or choose low-sugar)
• 1 tbsp Soya Sauce
• 2 tbsps Vinegar
• 2 tbsps Red chilli paste
• 1 tbsp sesame oil
• 2 cloves of minced garlic
• 1 tsp of grated ginger

Optional:

• 1 tbsp MCT oil (this is to purely boost fat content, you could skip if you’d like)
• 1/4 tsp sugar or honey or sweetener (I did not)

The Vegetables:

• 1 large size cucumber – spiralized (weighed 250 grams)
• 2 tbsps of scallions
• 2 tbsps coriander leaves

What Now?

1. Use the flat blade of the spiralizer to spiralize the cucumber into pretty ribbons!  
2. Place the ribbons in a large colander and let all the excess water drain.
3. In a large bowl, mix all the above ingredients for the sauce and let it sit for 15 minutes. (chilli paste is what I used. I ran out of it so used flakes instead in the pic – pls adjust ;-))
4. Arrange the cucumber ribbons on the plate and add the sauce.
5. Add scallions and peanuts and coriander leaves and eat it all up!
