Notes
Soy Sauce: Instead of soy sauce you can use tamari (gluten free) or coconut aminos (gluten free + whole30). Same quantity for both substitutions. These will both change the carb count in the nutrition information, so adjust accordingly.
Sriracha: My go to is Veracha by True Made Foods. But regular sriracha would work. Or your favorite hot sauce. You can also leave it out!
Thickener: Tapioca starch is my favorite keto friendly thickener that is gluten free and Whole30. You could also use arrowroot powder. If you don't need it to be gluten free/Whole30 you could use flour or cornstarch. Same quantities for all substitutions.
Ginger: You could also use fresh ginger if you have it on hand! I'd use about 1 tablespoon chopped fresh ginger.
Beef: I love using 100% grass-fed ground beef that I get from ButcherBox. It is 85% lean. You could also use ground pork, ground turkey, ground chicken, etc.
Vegetables: Feel free to use whatever vegetables you have on hand, but this combo is very delicious.
Noodles: Hearts of palm noodles are my go to keto noodle. I'm using Natural Heaven Hearts of Palm Spaghetti (code TASTESLOVELY for 15% off) in this recipe. You could substitute zucchini noodles (from 4 medium zucchinis) or if you don't need this to be keto/whole30 you could use gluten free or regular noodles.
Skillet: I love my cast iron skillet and use it for 95% of everything I cook. It's made of iron so toxic free! But use your largest pan or wok if that's what you have.
Freezing: I haven't tried it yet, but this should freeze great! I'd freeze it after cooking. When ready to eat again, thaw and reheat.
Reheating: You can reheat this in the microwave for 3-5 minutes, or reheat in your skillet over medium heat until warm.
