Must-Have and Optional Ingredients for AIP Teriyaki
- Must have is the grass-fed beef, pork works well too!
- The lime zest, avocado, and ginger and also really important to the flavor of the dish.
- For the AIP Teriyaki sauce, you need: coconut aminos, fish sauce, vinegar, bone broth and gelatin.

Step by Step AIP Teriyaki Noodle Bowl
Start by mixing together the AIP meatballs. Mash up the avocado in there really well. Shape all of the meatballs and brown them on a hot skillet. Then put them in the oven.
Once the meatballs are in the oven, start working on the toppings. Boil your egg and roast your crispy brussel sprouts. The meatballs take the longest to cook, so the rest of the recipe will be done by the time they are too. During this time you want to rinse and drain your noodles.
In the same skillet where you browned your meatballs you’re going to fry your garlic, saute the noodles. In a separate sauce pot you will simmer your teriyaki sauce ingredients. Bloom the gelatin, then whisk it in until dissolved.
Reduce the sauce until it coats a spoon then mix it in with the noodles. Add your toppings like fried garlic, crispy veggies and hard boiled eggs. Then add your meatballs and add more sauce on top!

Description
Keto noodle bowl, squeaky clean. AIP teriyaki and Whole30 friendly, read the post above!
Ingredients
Meatballs
- 2 pounds ground beef 85% lean
- 1inch nub fresh ginger, peeled and zested
- 1 heaping teaspoon grated citrus zest (I used orange and lime)
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoon fine salt
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro, more to garnish
- Half a ripe hass avocado
For Cooking
- 4 tablespoons avocado oil, more as needed
Sauce
- 1/3 cup bone broth
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- ¼ cup coconut aminos, divided
- 1 scoop gelatin
Fixings
- 4 cups shredded Brussels sprouts
- 5 cloves garlic sliced
- 4 large eggs
Noodles
- 4 bags shirataki noodles or veggie noodles like zoodles for Whole30
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 400F.
- In a large bowl mix together, the ground beef with the rest of the meatball ingredients until well combined, the avocado should be completely mixed in with only traces of green specks in the meat, no chunks left. Shape 12 large meatballs.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. When it comes to temperature add 2 tablespoons of avocado oil to the skillet and brown 6 meatballs at a time, 2 minutes a side, then transfer to a sheet pan. Repeat with the remaining meatballs and then put them in the oven.
- Bring a small sauce pot full of water to a boil. Put the 4 large eggs, gently in the pot. Boil for 7 minutes, then drain the water and add ice to the eggs, set aside.
- Toss the Brussels sprouts on a sheet pan with 2 tablespoons of avocado oil and 1 teaspoon of salt. Spread them out flat over the sheet pan and pop in the oven- middle rack.
- Add Brussels sprouts to the oven for 10-15 minutes until the sauce and noodles are ready.
- In the same saucepot where you boiled the eggs heat the bone broth with the fish sauce, red wine vinegar, and 2 tablespoons coconut aminos. Bring to a boil and reduce for 10 minutes.
- Add 1 scoop of gelatin to the remaining coconut aminos and let it sit until it gels up solid. In the meantime, drain and rinse your noodles and submerge them in cool water. Set aside.
- Heat the skillet where the meatballs were browned and add a little extra avocado oil. Then add in the sliced garlic and fry until golden. Remove from the skillet.
- Drain the noodles, add to the skillet, sprinkle with salt, and sauté in the garlic-infused fat for a few minutes while you finish the sauce. They will coat in the fat and get brown and yummy!
- Remove the bone broth reduction from the heat, scoop in the solid coconut amino-gelatin mass and whisk into the broth until smooth and thick. Set aside.
- Remove the toasty Brussels sprouts and cooked meatballs from the oven (cook time 15 minutes total).
- Assemble your bowls: divide the noodles into 4 large bowls, then the Brussels sprouts. Add 3 meatballs to each bowl. Garnish with fried garlic, minced cilantro. Peel the eggs and halve them. Add ½ -1 egg to each bowl. Spoon thick teriyaki sauce generously over each bowl and dig in!!
Recipe Notes:
- The recipe is best with 3 meatballs per person. There will be leftover meat and leftover sauce. However, if you divide the entire recipe by 4… the macros are as listed.
- The macros include ALL THE MEATBALLS AND ALL THE SAUCE.

Hi! I’m looking forward to making these tonight but I can’t seem to find how long it will take to Cook the meatballs on the stove. I worry that it will dry out if I take too long on the rest of the steps. How many minutes do you suggest keeping them in the oven for after the skillet?
Cristina Curp, FNTP says
10-15 minutes in the oven for the meatballs.
