I learned about shirataki noodles while looking for a low-carb option to substitute traditional wheat noodles. It looks like noodles and has a chewy and bouncy texture.
Excellent Low Carb Noodles Option
Shirataki is made with Konjac, which mainly consists of soluble fiber and water and has no taste or flavor on its own. 8 oz (226 grams) of shirataki noodles has 20 calories, 5 grams of carbohydrates, 3 grams of fiber, 0 mg sodium, and
0 grams protein.
Ingredients
16oz shirataki noodles(packed in water)
1 small onion, sliced
1 1/2 cups sliced bell peppers(I use a combination of orange and green)
8 oz shrimp
3 eggs (2 whole and 1 egg white)
2 tbsp oil
1 tsp red pepper flakes
1 tsp finely chopped garlic
2 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
Two tablespoons of Apple Cider vinegar for parboiling noodles(optional)
HOW TO PREPARE SHIRATAKI NOODLES
1. Open the bag of shirataki noodles into a strainer and rinse with cold water.
2. Then place the noodles in a pan add two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar and enough water to cover them.
3. Bring to a boil, and Simmer for 10-15 minutes. Drain, return them to the pan, cover, and set aside until you proceed with the recipe.
4. In a nonstick skillet, add 1 tablespoon of oil.
5. Whisk the eggs in a bowl with salt and pepper. Add into the skillet and scramble it until soft. Remove onto a plate.
6. Heat another spoon of oil in the same skillet, add in the red pepper flakes and garlic. Over high heat, add the onions, stir fry this, till slightly cooked.
