Stir Fried Kelp Noodles With Ground Beef, Broccoli Slaw, and Spinach

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Tonight I made noodles. WTF? Paleo-approved kelp noodles to be exact.

Before you eat the noodles, you need to wash and drain them but you can just dump them into a stir fry or soup and to heat them up.

Essentially, I followed my recipe for Asian lettuce cups but I made some substitutions (namely, no fish sauce). There was minimal prep work because the broccoli slaw, spinach, and kelp noodles were prepackaged and ready to go. I’m sad I can’t use fish sauce because the dish is kind of missing something without it but I’ll find myself some Paleo-approved fish sauce soon enough.

Time to make Stir Fried Kelp Noodles with Ground Beef, Broccoli Slaw, and Spinach!

Serves 4

Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1 small onion, minced in a mini-prep food processor
  • ½ pound cremini mushrooms, thinly sliced
  • 1 pound grass fed ground beef
  • 5 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 cup organic broccoli slaw
  • 5 ounce package of pre-washed organic baby spinach leaves
  • 1 package kelp noodles, rinsed with water and drained
  • 1-2 tablespoons coconut aminos
  • 1-2 tablespoons coconut vinegar
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper

Equipment:

  • All of my recommended kitchen tools are listed here.

Method:

I heated up the coconut oil in a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Once the pan was hot, I dumped in the onions and sautéed until soft.

I added the sliced mushrooms and cooked them until the moisture had cooked off.

Next, I added the beef and garlic and and cooked the meat until it was no longer pink.

…and then I threw in the package of spinach and stirred that around until the leaves were wilted.

Then, I tossed in my kelp noodles…

I do miss the fish sauce and the sweetness from oyster sauce. Maybe next time, I’ll add a little bit of apple juice for sweetness.
