Ingredients

  • 2 medium daikon radishes, spiralized

  • 1 cup bean sprouts
  • 1/2 bell pepper, sliced
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce or coconut aminos
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon peanut butter or almond butter (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • Chopped peanuts and cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Daikon: Spiralize the daikon radishes and set aside. If desired, lightly sauté them in a pan for a few minutes to soften.
  2. Cook Protein: In a large skillet, heat the sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp or chicken and cook until fully cooked, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Add Vegetables: Stir in the garlic, bell pepper, and bean sprouts, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until the veggies are tender-crisp.
  4. Mix the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the fish sauce, soy sauce, lime juice, and peanut butter until smooth.
  5. Combine: Add the spiralized daikon noodles to the skillet and pour the sauce over the top. Toss everything together until well combined and heated through.
  6. Garnish: Serve hot, garnished with chopped peanuts and cilantro.
