These Keto Broccoli Stem Noodles with Sesame Ginger Dressing are so delicious and flavorful. We can easily prepare these noodles with the dressing in just ten minutes. This dish only required a few simple keto-friendly ingredients like tamari, apple cider vinegar, coconut aminos, and sesame seeds that are easily available in grocery stores or pantry. This sesame and ginger dressing is an Asian-inspired dressing that I have modified to make it keto-friendly to use. I can make the noodles with a spiralizer but if that is not available, you can also make the noodles with a vegetable peeler. The sesame ginger dressing in this Keto Broccoli Stem Noodles only contains 3.6 grams of fiber and 6.4 grams of net carbs.
