Ingredients
- 1 pack shirataki noodles
- water
Instructions
- Shirataki noodles are usually available in packages with water in them. This water smells fishy because it has absorbed the odor of the yam plant. So you need to rinse the noodles very well.
- First, throw away the water and place the noodles in a sieve. Rinse the noodles well under running water.
- Boil water in a large pot and add the noodles. Cook for 2-3 minutes. This helps remove the bitterness.
- Drain the noodles completely. Heat a frying pan and warm the noodles on moderate to high heat; do not add any oil or liquid. This step is important to dry out the noodles completely so that it has a noodle-like texture. This may take 8-10 minutes and it is best done with tongs.
- You can now add the noodles to a stir-fry, salad, or make a wonderful warming bowl of soup. Add your choice of meat, vegetables, hot broth, and condiments like miso, red chili paste, or soy sauce. Enjoy!
