🍽 Ingredients

• 1 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 lb Pork loin (thinly sliced)
• 1 Onion (medium, chopped)
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 tbsp Ginger (freshly grated)
• 2 tbsp Soy sauce (or tamari)
• 1 tsp Red pepper flakes
• 4 cups Low-sodium chicken broth
• 1 package (7oz) Shirataki noodles
• 1 cup Keto-friendly vegetables (diced)
• Optional Green onions (for garnish)

📖 Instructions

1. First things first, let's prep those veggies! Finely chop 1 medium onion and 2 cloves of garlic. Dice 1 cup of your favorite keto-friendly vegetables—I like using a mix of bell peppers and mushrooms. Remember, prep is key for a smooth cooking process!
2. Next, let's get that pork nice and tender. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in your large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add about 1 pound of thinly sliced pork loin and cook until nicely browned—we're aiming for a good sear! This will give the pork a lot more flavor later on.
3. Now, let's add some aromatic flavor! Toss in the chopped onion and garlic and sauté for about 3 minutes, or until softened. Stir frequently to prevent burning. It's easy to overcook garlic, so keep an eye on it!
4. Once the onion and garlic are lovely and fragrant, we'll add our favorite flavor bombs! Stir in 1 tablespoon of ginger (freshly grated is best!), 2 tablespoons of soy sauce (tamari for gluten-free), and 1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes. Cook for another minute, just to let those flavors bloom together. This is where all the yummy stuff happens!
5. Time for the broth! Pour in 4 cups of low-sodium chicken broth (or veggie broth for a vegetarian option). Give it a good stir and bring it to a gentle boil. This is where the magic happens; just wait and see!
6. Now, carefully add the 1 package (7oz) of shirataki noodles to the boiling broth. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 5-7 minutes, or until the noodles are tender but still slightly firm. Don't overcook them, or they'll turn to mush! It's a delicate dance!
7. Finally, let's add the vegetables and pork! Toss in your chopped veggies and browned pork. Simmer gently for another 3-5 minutes, allowing everything to heat through and absorb all those lovely flavors.
8. Taste test is critical! Before serving, take a taste and adjust seasoning as needed. More soy sauce, ginger, or pepper flakes might be needed to elevate the flavor profile to your preference. That's what makes cooking such an amazing journey!
9. Serve it up! Once you're satisfied with the taste, ladles it into bowls and garnish with a few extra red pepper flakes and chopped green onions—it's the finishing touch that makes all the difference. ENJOY!

📝 Notes

• For a spicier soup, add more red pepper flakes.
• Adjust the amount of soy sauce to your preference.
• If using frozen vegetables, add them during the last 2-3 minutes of cooking time.
• If your noodles seem a little too soft, that may be an issue of adding to hot broth before it's simmering. Try to bring the broth to a gentle simmer first and then add the noodles
