Though named after the city-nation of Singapore, this lightly sauced stir-fry of vegetables, eggs, and shrimp is a Hong Kong native. Typically, Singapore noodles are made with rice vermicelli but for a keto-friendly version, we chose shirataki noodles, which have zero net carbohydrates. Since ingredients cook at varying rates, stir-frying them in batches guaranteed a […]
