Recreate your favorite Thai takeout order – but make it low-carb. Shrimp and pork drunken noodles are low-carb, but taste authentic.
Keto Thai Drunken Noodles
If you’re a fan of Thai takeout, then you’ll love this recipe! Even though drunken noodles are usually made with long, flat and wide egg noodles (and I used noodles that resemble spaghetti), the flavor is still the same – spicy.
Yup! The name actually comes from the fact that they are so spicy that they should be eaten with an ice cold beer.
Traditional drunken noodles are made without any veggies (except onions) and the protein is usually chicken.
But I changed things up a bit when I added carrots, red bell pepper, and zucchini.
When you’re on the keto diet, it’s important to sneak in veggies whenever you can. That fiber is good for your gut!
Shrimp and Pork Drunken Noodles
Drunken noodles are usually a super-spicy dish. I kept this mildly spicy.
So if you want to add more heat, I suggest using more Thai red chili paste. You could also add a splash of Sriracha, too.
And if you’re still craving Thai food after you make the drunken noodles, I suggest making keto sweet and spicy pad Thai noodles or keto Thai meatballs.
For something super easy, fry up a keto Thai basil beef skillet.
Best Keto Pasta
I used Palmini linguini noodles in this drunken noodles recipe. They might not be the same shape as traditional drunken noodles, but they have a fantastic flavor and you don’t have to cook them.
All you have to do is drain and rinse them and then make sure they’re completely warmed up.
You can also replace the Palmini noodles with some zucchini noodles.
There are 6 grams net carbs per serving in this dish, but if you don’t mind a few more carbs, then make drunken spaghetti squash. It resembles angel hair pasta.
What To Eat With Drunken Noodles
Serve a full plate of drunken noodles with your favorite Thai sides. My keto Thai ground turkey lettuce wraps aren’t exactly a side dish, but they will taste really good with the drunken noodles.
For a more traditional side dish, make either low-carb Thai cucumber salad or creamy keto Thai chicken soup or both.
How To Store Drunken Noodles
Thai drunken noodles are the perfect recipe to add to your meal prep! As it sits in the refrigerator, the flavors infuse into the palmini noodles.
Store leftover drunken noodles in the fridge in an airtight container. It will stay fresh for up to three days.
This is also a freezer-friendly recipe. It will stay fresh in the freezer for up to six months.
