Keto Kimchi Noodles

There are many different ways to eat zucchini noodles, but these are one of my favorites made with delicious Korean flavors. Ginger and garlic are sauteed with fresh sliced shiitake mushrooms and spicy, tart kimchi. The zucchini noodles are added to the pan with the mixture ever so briefly, so the noodles are still crunchy (and not watery at all). The finished noodles are topped with sliced scallions. These noodles would be great served with steak, chicken, or salmon!

What kind of mushrooms should I use?

Please use fresh shiitake mushrooms. If you cannot source fresh shiitakes, use dried shiitakes. If you need to substitute the shiitakes use portobello.

Why are the noodles salted at the end?

The noodles should be salted at the table to prevent the noodles from watering out and losing their slightly crunchy texture.

Serving suggestions

Serve this delicious Korean-flavored side dish with other Keto dishes like Low Carb Korean Spicy Sardine Bowls:
