Keto Shiitake Mushroom Chicken Stir-Fry

Aloha and Welcome to my Hawaii Inspired Keto Blog!

Welcome to Hawaiian Keto Girl, where I transform local Hawaii recipes and turn them into keto friendly, low carb, sugar free options.  As with many of the recipes I share, this one is nostalgic to my childhood. I recall my mother making tofu stir fry with a sweet shoyu (soy sauce) based sauce.  It was a favorite of mine and I have created a keto version that tastes so ono and is so filling. I am so happy to share this keto version with all of you.

Sugar Free is Key for Keto

This recipe has a sweet shoyu based sauce (I used tamari and Swerve’s brown sugar replacement for this recipe) and includes shiitake mushrooms, chicken, bok choy, shirataki noodles, and tofu.  It is seasoned with garlic, ginger, sesame oil, sesame seeds, salt and pepper, and green onions.  The seasonings are definitely iconic to Hawaii as it takes on a similar taste to teriyaki sauce.  The major difference between shoyu based stir fry meals that you find everywhere in Hawaii and this particular recipe is that this recipe is sugar free and low carb. Replacing the sugar with a keto friendly sweetener is all the original recipe needed.

Here are my recommendations for sweeteners:

I also wrote a blog all about sweeteners that you can check out by clicking here.

Let’s get into this Ono Keto recipe!
