Low Carb Japanese Peanut Butter Beef

Another gem inspired by my Japanese food YouTube obsession. Delicious, delicious obsession.

I’ve made this version low carb. The original recipe used oyster sauce in place of hoisin (I happened to have hoisin on hand – Chinese, I know) and udon in place of spaghetti squash.

I also turned around and had this for dinner a second night in a row – with added roasted brussels sprouts – and it was magical.

Instant Keto No-atmeal

I got the idea for this quick breakfast from Reddit. Go, Reddit.

I’m not a huge fan of regular oatmeal unless I’m starving to death and *need* something that is going to sit in my stomach like a rock for hours. This is not quite that, but it’s filling.

gluten-free, vegetarian, vegan with substitutions, paleo with substitutions, keto


Instant Keto No-atmeal

2 Tbsp. unsweetened shredded coconut flakes
2 Tbsp. flaxseed meal
2 Tbsp. chia seeds
2 dashes cinnamon
1 Tbsp. unsweetened applesauce or 1/4 cup blackberries
2 Tbsp. heavy cream or non-dairy substitute
Pinch salt
1/2 cup boiling water.

Combine the coconut, flax and chia seeds in a bowl. Add the boiling water, stir well and let sit 5 or so minutes until the chia seeds have bloomed. Stir in your add-ins and enjoy.
