Low Calorie Spicy Asian Noodles
This Low Calorie Spicy Asian Noodles is just 387 can packed with flavor!You can boost the protein by swapping out the rice noodles for protein pasta, or by adding in some chicken or shrimp. Special Tip: I recommend adding in the lowest amount of spice to this dish, you can always add more after tasting the sauce, or squeeze some sriracha over the top of your serving if you want it hotter. It is easier to add heat, but near impossible to remove it.
Ingredients
- 8 ounces rice noodles or protein pasta spaghetti
- Olive Oil Spray
- 2 shallots minced
- 1 red bell pepper sliced
- 2 cups sliced mushrooms
- 5 garlic cloves minced

- 4 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce or tamari
- 1-3 tablespoons chili garlic sauce depending on how spicy you want it
- 1 tablespoon coconut sugar
- 1/2-1 tablespoon sriracha depending on how spicy you want it
- 2 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- ⅛ cup water
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds optional
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook noodles according to the directions on the package.
- Spray a large skillet with olive oil, add shallots, bell peppers and the mushrooms. Sauté until lightly browned, about 10 minutes.
- Add in the garlic, 1/2 of the green onions and the ginger and sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
- To the skillet add in the soy sauce, chili garlic sauce, sugar, sriracha, rice vinegar, and sesame oil.
