Lemongrass Beef Shirataki Noodle Bowl

Easy Meal Prep | <400 kcal | 4 servings

Ingredients

Beef
1. 480 g (1.05 lb) beef sirloin or flank steak, thinly sliced.
(Tip : Partially freeze the beef for 20–30 minutes — it firms up and makes slicing much easier. You can also substitute chicken breast if you prefer.)

Vegetables
1. 2 medium cucumbers, julienned
2. 2 small carrots, julienned
3. 2 cups bean sprouts
4. 8 large lettuce leaves (romaine or butter lettuce)
5. 2 large handfuls fresh mint
6. 2 large handfuls fresh coriander (cilantro)

Others
1. 4 packs shirataki noodles (200 g / 7 oz each)
2. 4 tablespoons chopped roasted peanuts as topping (1 tbsp per serving)
3. 4 teaspoons neutral oil total (1 tsp per serving)

Lemongrass Marinade
1. ½ medium onion, sliced
2. 4 cloves garlic
3.
2 stalks lemongrass (inner tender part only), sliced
4.
1 teaspoon salt
5.
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
6.
1 teaspoon curry powder (optional)
7. 4 teaspoons fish sauce
8. 2 teaspoons monk fruit sweetener

Instructions

  1. Make the marinade : Blend all marinade ingredients into a smooth paste.
  2. Marinate the beef : Toss the sliced beef (or chicken) in the marinade. Let sit 15–30 minutes, or overnight for deeper flavor.
  3. Prepare noodles : Rinse and drain shirataki noodles according to package instructions. Pat dry.
  4. Cook beef : Heat 1 tsp oil per serving in a skillet over medium-high heat. Stir-fry the marinated beef until cooked through, about 4–5 minutes.
  5. Prep veggies : Julienne cucumbers and carrots, rinse bean sprouts, and wash lettuce leaves and herbs.
  6. Assemble bowls : Divide noodles into 4 bowls. Top with cooked beef, fresh vegetables, herbs, and lettuce leaves.
  7. Finish : Sprinkle 1 tbsp chopped peanuts over each serving. Drizzle the fish sauce dressing over the beef salad bowl, toss to combine, and enjoy!

Tips & Notes

  1. For meal prep, store the components separately and assemble just before eating to keep noodles and veggies fresh.
  2. Increase fiber by adding more non-starchy vegetables — roughly doubling your veggies can raise fiber to 5–6 g or more while keeping calories low.
