Miracle Noodle Recipes

Anyone using miracle noodles? Have a favorite recipe to share? Please do so i can use the ones I just bought.

I don't really have any fixed recipes that I use, but I normally just make Asian-style noodle stir fries with them as they don't really work all that well as an Italian-style pasta substitute. For the most part, I tend to use them in recipes that call for rice noodles such as Pad Thai or for Peanut Noodles. You can save so many calories with them that I can use actual peanut butter in the peanut noodles instead of powdered peanut butter such as PB2.

Oh, and I've never used the Miracle Noodle brand. I buy actual shirataki noodles from an Asian market. Usually JFC brand:

All of this. Rinse, dry thoroughly and dry fry in a pan. Use them in place of rice noodles or ramen (noodle bowls, stir fry - recipes with fish or oyster sauce work really well).

I know people use them for marinara or alfredo, but the taste and texture doesn't work for me.

I found they had a severe laxative effect and so I don't eat them! YIKES!

I would also be interested in some recipes. Its not something i think I will ever buy again unless I get good recipes. The texture is quite off putting.

I tried adding hot sauce and parmesan cheese...lol was hard to eat

Typically I'll do something like rinse and fry, then put them aside. Fry my stir fry vegetables/meat if I'm using, then add in sauce (mix up your version using oyster sauce, black bean sauce, tamari/soy, fish sauce, sesame paste, sesame oil, mirin, sriracha, etc - whatever you have on hand). Add the noodles in and you're golden. Add more broth and you've made a noodle bowl!

Just treat them like any Asian stir fry or noodle bowl like this spicy peanut butter noodle or this turkey ramen, but just make sure to prep them first by frying them o

I've also made them super simple by using garlic and ginger, frozen vegetables, frozen scallops or shrimp, and a store bought stir fry sauce.

Pad Thai
2 container (8 oz ea.), Tofu Shiritake Noodle
1.5 lbs pork (or other meat), if desired
2 Tbsp, Olive Oil
6 tbsp(s), Vinegar - Cider
1 tbsp, Fish Sauce
1 Tbsp, Tomato Ketchup (44 oz Size)
1 tbsp (38.7 g), Hoisin Sauce
Sweetener, to taste
1 Tbsp, Fresh Ground Peanut Butter (2 Tbsp/33g)
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 large, Eggs - Whole, raw
2 tbsp(s), Peppers, hot chile, sun-dried
4 stalk, Onions, young green, tops only
56 gram peanuts

Boil noodles for 2-3 minutes & drain
Chop or process pork into very small bits
Make sauce out of nam pia, vinegar, ketchup, hoisin sauce and peanut butter. Add sweetener to taste (I used about 30 drops of Stevia)
Heat oil in wok (or large heavy skillet).
Add garlic and stir fry briefly.
Add pork and stir fry until no longer pink, breaking into fine pieces
Add drained noodles and onions and toss lightly to coat with oil
Add the sauce and bring to a rapid boil, gently folding the noodles until they absorb all the sauce.
Push the noodles to one side of the skillet. Pour in half the beaten eggs and cover the noodles. Repeat on the other side.
Cook until eggs are set.
Add peanuts and onions and fold the eggs and peanuts into the noodles.
Place noodles on a large platter. Garnish with chopped chiles.

Yep. Prep, prep, prep. Can't emphasize that enough. They need to be drained, rinsed, and fried in a dry pan to eliminate some of the moisture before you do anything else with them. And again, don't use them as "pasta" use them as Asian-style "noodles". I can eat them in pad thai and such without blinking an eye, but using them with tomato or alfredo sauce is just gross.

Thanks so much everyone! I will try the pad thai.

For me, since it's a high volume/low carb item I want to eat a humongous serving (like one bag). If I eat more than half a bag I need to be near the bathroom!

Today, I sautéed some zucchini, yellow squash, matchstick carrots, and spinach. Then, added my rinsed noodles to the pan for a little while (actually added them before the spinach since that cooks so quickly). Topped it with marinara sauce. Tasted great and no texture issues.

lol...I eat two bags at once. I'm eating the tofu macaroni noodles now with three chicken sausages and 4 wedges of laughing cow cheese. Mac and cheese with meat for 400ish calories.

Just be sure to dry fry them first!

I know! I'm building a stomach of steel over here between my chickpea protein brownies and my shirataki lol.

Thanks for the drain, rinse and dry fry hint - I tried using these once and they were inedible... but all I did was drain and heat, not enough prep ... I will give them another try in a pad thai recipe.
