The Secret to Shirataki Noodles (aka Skinny Noodles aka Miracle Noodles)

Zero calorie noodles sound too good to be true?

For many who have tired them and expected a pasta replacement they are sadly disappointed. However, if you take a moment to prepare them differently and expect a more rice noodle type texture you may be pleasantly surprised!

Check out my super quick way to prepare Shirataki noodles. I even include a super quick, fun, light Peanut Sauce idea!

Quick Spicy Peanut Sauce

1 tsp Hot Sauce (or to taste)
2 tsp soy sauce
1 tbsp honey
2 tbsp PB2

Mix together and toss with noodles! Only 120 calories!

    I tried shirataki noodles last night, and the noodles did take on the taste of the sauce I used, however they had a weird texture. They were tough, and rubbery. This made it more like eating squid or jellyfish than noodles. Am I cooking it wrong, or do I just have to get used to that texture?

    Great recipe and cooking technique! I'm trying konjac noodles for the second time and the first time was not good. They were rubbery and not fun to eat! Cooking them in a fry pan made alllll the difference. Most are boiling the noodles in their recipes. I'm really enjoying this dish, thanks so much!

    and plz don't forget 湯通し:YUDOUSHI which means put the noodle in boiled water and wait 3 to 5mins. we usually do cuz that makes less fishy smell and also noodle goes more soft.

    i don't know any about shirataki made in the USA but Japanese traditional shirataki has normally  25 to 37calories. my favorite way of eating is use shirataki as pasta and put tuna,mayo,sweet rice wine and oyster sauce or put shirataki in pork-flavored ramen soup and add chili oil, sliced pork fat, sesami and been sprouts. i still keep my weight:105 after leaving JP 9month ago

    I love these, I boil them after I drain them though, I find it gets rid of any slime and makes the texture nicer. After I boil them I fry them. I know it's a lot more work but it's worth if you don't like the texture.

    I made it this week and it was pretty good. I will definitely make it again. Gives me another way to use the PB2 I had on hand for other than smoothies.

    I believe you overcooked your noodles lol, they're not even supposed to be fried cuz they loose their vitamins

    Here in Japan we basically don't have the idea to replace flour noodles by Shirataki noodles, just because shirataki is a zero calorie food.  Shirataki noodles have strong chewy and gelatinous texture, and therefore quite different from normal flour noodles.

    It's good to serve salad dish with shirataki, but not as noodles dish.  I strongly recommend you to use buckwheat noodles instead of shirataki noodles.  Buckwheat noodles or Soba (or Soba noodles) is a popular Japanese noodle dish and it's a very good low GI food.

    Her's a tip for people who don't like them. Mix them into other things. Like the miracle rice is a great extender for oatmeal or even for rice.
