Ingredients


454 gm Chicken thighs, boneless, skinless (cut into bite-sized pieces)
5 tbsp Avocado oil
2 tbsp Coconut aminos, Coconut Secret
1 tsp Balsamic vinegar
1 tsp Fish sauce
1/2 tsp Sesame oil
2 tsp Arrowroot flour
454 gm Tofu Shirataki spaghetti noodles
1 pinch Kosher salt
1 small Yellow onion (halved and thinly sliced)
114 gm Shiitake mushrooms, raw (stemmed and sliced thinly)
1 piece, 1-inch Ginger root (peeled and cut into thin coins)
2 green onion (stem) Green onion (cut diagonally into 1/2-inch segments)
142 gm Baby spinach

Instructions


  1. Place the chicken pieces in a medium bowl. Pour in 1 tablespoon avocado oil and 1 tablespoon coconut aminos. Add the aged balsamic vinegar, fish sauce, sesame oil, and arrowroot flour. Stir well to combine and set aside.
  2. Next, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Then, add 2 tablespoons of avocado oil. Once the oil is hot, add the thinly sliced onions and sauté with a liberal sprinkle of salt. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes or until softened.
  3. Toss in the mushrooms, ginger slices, and another sprinkle of salt. Stir-fry for about 2 minutes or until the mushrooms are cooked and the ginger is fragrant. If the pan is looking a little dry, feel free to add another tablespoon of oil.
  4. Add the chicken and cook, stirring, until no longer pink.
  5. Stir in the scallions and the spinach. Season the meat and veggies with 1 tablespoon coconut aminos, shirataki pasta and red pepper flakes. Mix well. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. 
  6. Once the spinach is wilted, you're ready to eat. Enjoy!
