Ingredients

Instructions

Heat a large nonstick skillet or wok over high heat. Add chicken and cook until starting to brown, 3-4 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.
Add avocado oil to the pan. Char carrots and green onions over high heat for 1-2 minutes until slightly blistered.
Add garlic and shirataki noodles to the pan. Stir-fry for 2 minutes to dry out noodles and flavor with aromatics.
Push noodles to the side. Crack eggs into the pan and scramble until just set, then toss with noodles and vegetables.
Return chicken to the pan. Add fish sauce, lime juice, sweetener, and chili flakes. Stir well to coat all ingredients and heat through.
Add bean sprouts, toss just to warm, and remove from heat. Serve topped with chopped peanuts, fresh cilantro, and lime wedges.
