Ingredients:

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 tablespoon red curry paste
  • 1 can (14 ounces) unsweetened coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 2 tablespoons tamarind paste
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar substitute
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 package (12 ounces) shirataki noodles, rinsed and drained
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/4 cup chopped peanuts, for garnish

Instructions:

  1. In a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium heat, melt the coconut oil. Add the chicken and cook until browned on all sides.
  2. Add the onion, garlic, and ginger and cook until softened about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the red curry paste and cook for 1 minute, or until fragrant.
  4. Add the coconut milk, chicken broth, fish sauce, tamarind paste, brown sugar substitute, cumin, coriander, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
  5. Add the shirataki noodles and cook for 5 minutes, or until heated through.
  6. Stir in the cilantro and peanuts. Serve immediately over rice or cauliflower rice.

Tips:

  • For a creamier curry, use full-fat coconut milk instead of unsweetened.
  • If you don’t have tamarind paste, you can substitute lemon juice or vinegar.
  • To make the curry spicier, add more red curry paste or a pinch of cayenne pepper.
  • Serve the curry with a side of steamed broccoli or cauliflower for an extra boost of vegetables.
