- 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! - Jak na to + styl
I'm amazed that what I have been eating ever since I was a little kid is now a health food called "miracle noodle". It's actually called "konnyaku" in japanese, and now that it's a miracle noodle, the price is sure to go up in health food store. You just need to go to your Asian market and ask for konnyaku noodles, or in english as "alimentary paste". You can even buy them in block form and cut them as you wish.
Thanks for the tip! I'll look for a bundle at my local Japanese grocery.
I always find there some tiny small black bugs(les than milimiter) runing inside packing in store so was afraid to bye. Look yamm.
@@playgrounddolls7766 bugs inside the package? Never seen that but would never buy that!
Mc Mc If you mean it looks grey with black specks, that's seaweed added for aesthetics.
The only issue I have with the Asian konjac or konnyaku noodles is they are in little bundles. I wonder if I could unravel them and make them like noodles
I love these noodles. People need to understand that they aren't 'fake' noodles, they are what they are. Yes, they have a different texture to the noodles that most people in the West are familiar with, but that doesn't make them wrong. They are just different, and as with all other foods, you either like them, or you don't. Your sauce sounds delicious, gonna try it, thank you.
Jules Roberts I tried them for the first time today and just have a quick question...are they suppose to be gummy like when you chew? Or are they suppose to have the texture of regular noodles??
Caroline Valenzuela I don’t think you understood what Jules said. They are neither. They are just what they are. Kind of rubbery? They are already cooked coming out of the package. So what you taste is what you get.
IMO people looking for Italian pasta substitute will need to adjust expectations.
I found shiratake more like pho or ramen or rice noodles. Doesn’t bother me at all.
these might seem “weird” if you can’t get used to Asian noodles texture in your Italian theme dish
I literally love chewy noodles and all the complaints are making me nervous, I just bought a pack today smh
This is a dietbetics dream. I ate a whole bag. Huge amount meat sauce. And needed no insulin. None. Remarkable stuff.
Yeah, I use them for my shrimp stir fry and for traditional spaghetti. It's amazing for spaghetti. I can use like half a jar of one brand of sauce I found, and I have like a net 12 carb meal.
Yep I actually used them for a Chicken Pad Thai recently, made my own sugar free sauce, and they were wonderful with no blood sugar spikes. So great to be able to have noodles without the blood sugar impacts.
@ Dale Val, yes it is a diabete dream, and they are pretty good
@@kritsadventures , glad to know I can make them
with spaghetti sauce, I was just wondering that. Thanks!!!!
@@lynettepatterson8345 Give it a shot. I like it personally.
Just use bamboo/wooden chopsticks to cook them. No need to worry about scraping the nonstick surface with those.
Thank you SO much for this video. I really cannot express how grateful and happy I am over it. Following your directions on how to prepare the noodles, rather than the ones that come with them, I ended up w/an entirely palatable product!!! I was actually in the middle of eating the ones I cooked when I realized you deserved to be told what a nice thing it was for you to do. I'm going to go back to my meal now. Thanks again!!!
I have been eating these here for several years now. I do boil mine for a few minutes, but my secret for completly getting rid of the fishy smell is to add a tablespoon of lemon juice to the boiling water. Works every time. I find that just rinsing does not always do the trick.
Joanne Bunce thanks for that tip
K Gifford lo
Vinegar works 2
Joanne Bunce what does the lemon do to the noodles?
@@Hosedinho lemon is used to get rid of oders. If your hands smell from fish or garlic, lemon juice gets rid of the smell. I put lemon peels down my garbage disposal and turn on until its all ground up. That leaves the garbage disposal smelling fresh.
I love how stable and well-focused the video is. It's really great to see so much attention to the proper placement and balanced lighting of the subject. Another plus is how consistent the sound level is. Five stars
I watched this video and went straight out for the ingredients. Got home, made it exactly as she said except substituted Stevia drops (9) for honey. This is so delicious I may be eating it every day! Thank you so much for this video!
My mother purchased a bunch of shirataki noodles a couple months ago. They've been sitting in the fridge because we all thought she had plans to use them. Apparently not...? So I busted out a pack today, cooked it according to instructions, and tossed them in a little sweet-sour sauce. I absolutely adore the texture! I've always been one for noodles either nearly uncooked and chewy, or pretty overcooked and mushy, and what I got was in a way kind of a combination of the two.
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.
They were delicious and satisfying. I love the cooking technique-thanks
From those who survived 2020 thank you!
GREAT and simple recipe, thank you! I'm eating this right now and it is so very good! I followed your recipe with the slight change of replacing the honey with another sweetener. It came out like a paste. When combined with the hot noodles, it really grabbed onto them and came out perfect. Thanks again!
Glad I found this video. Today was my first day trying Shirataki noodles and let's just say my preparation left them very wet. The drying off and frying them is a great idea and I will def take your peanut sauce into consideration as well. Thanks for a well narrated video!
Awesome preparation to make this video concise! Really thoughtful of you
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge! I just followed your instructions and they were great!
Excellent demo! I'm going to give it a try later. My first time. So nice you gave the peanut hot sauce too!
Thanks for the quick recipe, I just bought the miracle noodles for the first time...great intro to them
I love peanut sauce sooo much. I even dip carrots and cuke sticks into it. Thanks so much for sharing how to prep these shiratake noodles. I save my chopsticks to!❤️
Cook noodles in a frying pan with a Tbs of desired oil ( coconut oil works), add cooked Chicken, about 2 Tbs of queso salsa per serving (25 cal. Per 2 Tbs), about 2 Tbs of regular salsa per serving( 10 cal per 2 Tbs). Taco seasoning to taste. It is sooo tasty! Could sub meat for any kinda meat that is good in tacos or even skip it.
Thank you for these tips! I just made as you suggested and they were pretty good. I will take it for 10 cal per serving!!
I tried your recipe and the roasted cauliflower...fantastic! This is a game-changer for me! Thanks!
I've tried several varieties of these noodles and the best one's so far are from Nasoya, Pasta Zero spaghetti noodles. The key is to rinse them very well like she does, I don't dry them, I just toss them in with whatever I'm cooking at the very end to heat them. They also have fettuccine noodles and they are pretty good too but they have a bit more of the weird texture. So I'm on this plan and I've lost 50lbs in less than 6 months and I eat these noodles about 4 times a week. A full package is only 2 carbs. A package is 2 servings but I usually eat the full package, 4 carbs per serving - 3 dietary fiber = 1 carb or 2 per bag! I couldn't be on this diet and not have noodles in my stir fry or soup.
do you workout too? or do these noodles just aid in losing weight?
I was not working out at the time because I was on a very low calorie plan so it was a fine balance with calorie, carb and protein. Just walking 30 mins a day, not brisk just a medium pace.
Yeah. The nasoya ones are indeed good. I clip the corner of the bag to drain it, then add water and squish it to rinse it. Drain, rinse one more time. Boil for 2 minutes on an induction cooktop. Water almost as deep as the noodles. Then add a teaspoon of Jalapeno olive oil. Currently, I like ABQ olive oil company.
Mary B hi there can you explain more about your efforts in losing 50lbs in 6 month? Were you taking non carbs diet or else? Can you share your example menu as well?
nando gritzel She was probably on the HGH diet. Look it up... it’s all over CZcams.
I love shirataki noodles, that sauce looks amazing. Gonna make it soon! Thanks for the video!
every time the tongs touched the pan, it sent shivers down my spine
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.
RGB Skull I do the same!
RGB Skull Yep, that's how I do them, too.
thank you, I'm going to try them your way. .
How long should I boil them?
Worth it if you’re keto & can’t eat wheat pasta
This is great. I'm about to get my first batch of shirataki noodles. Thank you so much for uploading this. :)
Thank you for this! I was following the package directions and not happy with the result! I used your tips and WHAT a different. I mixed mine in with veggie slaw that was sauted with onions and garlic. My sause was Coconut aminos, white wine vinegar, PB powder and a touch of chili powder. it was a hit and just as good cold as warm.
Love this! Next shopping trip I am picking some up! Thanks for the awesome video!
I cook the "Noodle Zero" variety of shirataki noodles, and they are also very good if you cook them right. Ever since I started my Keto diet I was always wondering how to find a pasta/chowmein substitute and was amazed when I found these super low carb noodles!
Thanks for the post!
I just made these with the sauce and added some chicken, lets just say that I think I found a new staple in my diet.
Been cycling betwern low carb lifestyle and full blown keto for years now. Haven't had a rice or noodle
stir-fry from my kitchen in forever.
Bought me some shirataki noodles today, CZcams'd 'how to cook..'
- - you have changed my life!
T.H.A.N.K. Y.O.U.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
To avoid being so chewy buy the angel hair cut and don't skip boiling. I boil mine for a good 2 minutes, drain and dry in a pan. I add veggies and sauces to taste.
Thank you so much for the advice. I did a stir fry with the fettuccini noodles. With the Angel hair was going to do spaghetti tomorrow. Hoping it turns out good
Thank you so much for the advice made spaghetti and it was delicious :)
Yeah, I find them a bit rubbery and cook them down some.
@Papa F Jose Why would I add oat flour? The whole point is avoiding excess carbs-particularly grains.
@@CarbageMan Because we were a lot stupider in 2014.. They were telling us oils gave you a heart attack and carbs were fine. Now 7 years later every third person in the US is diabetic..
Thanks. I will try this. I was scared of the texture but your technique looks good.
After trying a similar method for cooking mine, I'm now in the miracle noodle camp. I fry mine until they start to squeak from the heat on the pan, or basically until all extra water is gone, then I add whatever sauce I want and bam, amazing noodle dish for almost no carbs.
Had alfredo sauce on mine earlier and with a dash of sauce, it was exquisite. Just like a restaurant would serve.
I find that boiling them for a few minutes significantly improves the texture, and they don't get mushy at all. After that you can dry them or not, as you prefer.
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.
Love them! I use it straight from the bag, after draining and rinsing, I do not dry it. Love it on Pad Thai, the noodle is the last ingredient I add to the mix. Yummy!!
Thank you Ronnie. I just got a couple packages of these for free tonight. Going to give them a shot prepping them your way tomorrow!
Thank you. Simple and tastes good. That's all I ever wanted
Thanks for this! It is really helpful. I just bought a bag of these to try out. I follow a Paleo lifestyle but do sometimes get tired of "noodles" made from spiralized veggies. So, I'll follow your technique and see if I like them. 😊
Thanks! Will try the peanut sauce as a starting point. Really appreciate it!
I think I may give this a try. Thanks for sharing
Thank you. This is gonna become a cutting staple
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!
Smiles, Judy
Perfect with the peanut sauce! I also like to sauté some large shrimp and add scallions and/or cilantro and toasted sesame seeds on top after it's done. Not only does it make it look nice, but it adds layers of flavor to your dish!
Very yummy!!! Thank you so much for the recipe!!!!
I don't boil them either, but I put them in a bowl filled with water and microwave for 2 minutes. Then I dry them out in the skillet and add whatever flavorings. I feel like the hot water somehow makes a difference. Their a great sub for pasta :) Love them!
totally made this with carbonara in mind and just went with the flow! I'm not disappointed at all!!!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
thank you for this trick!!
Thanks for the tip!!! I will try this very soon! I was thinking in a Thai Chicken Wrap!!
Thank you so much for the video. I was wrecking my brain trying to figure it out. 👌
Great tips and recipe, thank you
Looks sooo good!!
made this today and it tastes amazing!!!
This helped me like my noodles. Thank you.
Thanks for sharing your noodle recipe.
Thanks for the tip!! Ate them for the first time, made the peanut sauce with Tilapia on the side. it was delicious and my 7 year old like it too.
You can check wonderful recipes made from shirataki noodles at miraclenoodle.com/blogs/recipes
Wow, new ammo. Thanks! You may already do this but I (in search of low carb flavor) went to 99 ¢ store and bought a spritzer bottle and a big bottle of lemon juice. Flavors my food keto style and satisfies my OCD with an even dispursement 😁
I never thought about drying them out a bit sounds good i have always used them as a soup but this seems better
Very helpful!! thank you for this!
This turned out to be yum!!
this is so helpful. thank you!
This so easy! This is probably going to be another go to meal. Let's see how it turns out!
I found making tuna casserole if you mix the noodles with the cream of mushroom and leave it sit in the fridge for a few hours and then warm it up and add the warm tuna really blends the flavors in
You are so smart!! Thank you thank you thank you!!!!
I just washed them very well with hot water for the smell to go away and then i put it in my soup, cook them 5 minutes and is done. Taste delicious.
Shirataki and slightly thicker Ito-Konnyaku are made from the same Konnyaku-Imo and have virtually no calorie. Similar looking noddle called Harusame is made from potato and has some calorie.
My favorite cooking tool for any noodle are cooking chopsticks, that are much longer version of bamboo chopsticks.
thank u for the awesome trick. ...
I ve tried them. I did a sauce with olive oil, vinegar, salt, garlic, black pepper, tumeric, cumin, curry, cimeni, cappers, dried grapes and plenty of cilantro. Very tasty!
Thank you. I'm a recovering carbalholic and this will help immensely. My Endocrinologist has me down to an average of 95 on my meter daily but I need something to eat to make me feel human.
Great video! Thank you making it now
Just made this and it was really yummy...
Thanks for this video. I had these years ago and to be honest I'd rather slash my wrist than have them again. Well, watching your video has given me extra hope now! :)) I am going to give your prep method a try and see how it goes. Hope you see my comment given you posted this clip six years ago.
Tigerdeer, how did you get on with her method?
I love them
yummy! cooking this noodle for my hubby
Omgggg!!! Its so good!! I made chow mien!!
I tried these years ago and got stomach pain🤷♀️ I will try again 👍
I am sending you a great big HUG!!! You lightly glanced over the drying in the pan thing...THAT IS H U G H!!! I always rinse well, very well indeed but there was that bitterness and texture (yuk) only AFTER following what you say with the hot pan this is all 100 percent better. From meh to wow!. You ROCK! Must I say thank you or did you kinda get that (chuckle).
Bonus tip: If your noodles have an unpleasant odor, put them in a pot of boiling water for 2-3 minutes before drying them. By preparing your shirataki noodles in this way, the noodles will absorb all of the delicious flavors you want in every bite while reducing the sliminess of the noodles.
Picked up a package of the white yam; there were also spaghetti and fettuccini noodles as well.
Nothing better than metal tongs on a non-stick skillet.
I was cringing every time it made a noise...
These might be the noodles or similar to the noodles I bought some years ago, that a coworker told me he lost weight on.
I didn’t particularly care for them, but I need low carb foods, for sure, now.
I did buy a pack of noodles in the healthier food section of my grocery store recently. I’ll see if these are the same. But, if they aren’t, and maybe even if they are, I’ll instead pick them up at my local Asian grocery store as, I would imagine the price is better there.
Thank you for the cooking tip!
Just tried my first shirataki noodles using your technique. I like them enough I'll try again some day. Thanks for the instructions. Can you reheat them? I added a alfredo sauce and some leftover rosemary seasoned chicken. Really good!!
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
nami nami I think the reason Japanese shirataki has calories is because real shirataki also has tofu in it. In the USA, the noodles are made of Konjac flour only, hence no calories.
That's how I have found them to be best also. I do love ramen and this is fairly close once you get it into a ramen broth or as close as possible to that. That way the gelatinous texture is not as noticeable in soup because to me it just becomes like slightly overcooked ramen but very satisfying.
Japanese person here (I suspect so is nami nami). Traditional shirataki is made with konnyaku only. Tofu shirataki is a variation, not the original. Not sure why the difference in calories, but I did notice that serving sizes are different for the two types. House Foods' Traditional Shirataki is 45g per serving, while Tofu Shirataki is 113g per serving.
Well done, thank you...
Great video! Thank you!
OK, I'm gonna try these again. Last time I could not get pass the smell and rubbery texture.
This is a great video.
I bought dried konjac noodles as its free of firming agent,citric acid etc. Its fast to boil too.
thx for this. i did think to dry them out next time
Love it
Lovely! Thank you :-D
thankyou!!
Ive literally just been rinsing and eating them with garlic salt. Ill have to try this, although i never had a problem with them plain.
Wow good tips
Awesome thank you
This sounds great for Keto!
We love the Konjac noodles , here's a great easy recipe.
Thanks!!
Peanut butter powder! Genius idea!
