Chelle’s Shirataki Sauce Of The Day: Ultra-Low Calorie Buffalo Wing Sauce

I needed a spicy salty snack, tonight, and had a limited number of calories left in my budget.

I dry-fried two 7oz bags of shirataki noodles (0 calories) and sauced them with a mixture of 4 tbsp hot sauce (0 calories), 1 tbsp soy sauce (10 calories), 1 tbsp barbecue marinade (10 calories) and 1tsp of butter sprinkles (5 calories).

Total calories for approximately one pound of delicious, mega-spicy “Buffalo Wing Shirataki Noodles”: 25

Isn’t that incredible?

Of course it is!

What do you mean "dry fried"??? I have not been able to prepare these right so that they weren't gross... What is the secret?

Are those good though? I'm terrified to try them as I've heard they have a fishy smell and taste like rubber. What brand do you use? I'd love to try them but they scare me. lol

jenfactor

yeah I'm intrigued but have only eaten these noodles once. I could handle a few bites but they kind of made me gag. I have a bag sitting in the fridge now, probably expired! lol

If you rinse shirataki noodles thoroughly in hot water and then fry them on HIGH in a non-stick pan sprayed with Pam until they are bone dry-- they are wonderful. No fishy smell and a greatly improved texture. The process takes about 8 minutes.

Then sauce them any way you'd like.

I have dozens of ways that I prepare them and I eat them every day.

Try it- you'll like it!

i love shirataki noodles. re the fish smell, it was the water they were packaged in that smelt and the smell was very faint (could be due to brand) but when washed well the smell dissapears.
the texture is strange at first, but when the noodles are cooked with veg and/or meat, its not noticeable.
they go really well with asian spices, or garlic, galangal, lemongrass... strong flavours as they absorb the flavour of the stuff theyr cooked in.

eg
cajun seasoning, garlic, onion, diced chicken breast- cook it all with a little water and a little tomato puree, once the chicken is almost cooked add the washed noodles and simmer for a few mins or until the excess water has evaporated. yum!

Where do you buy these noodles? Are they available in stores?

Well, I am willing to try them! I'm low carb, so I'll bet if i fried them in a tablespoon of butter they would get crispy. That might be good... Hmm... I can't eat teriyaki sauce or anything, though, so I'll have to look around. These might be promising though. Zero calories can't be wrong, right?

Sometimes I dry fry them then add puréed tomatoes, basil, oregano and garlic. Italian style works great!

I am fortunate enough to have 5 Asian markets nearby (I live near an Air Force base). I get them for $1.29/bag-- a fabulous price!

Do you have any Asian markets nearby?

BE sure and check the type of shirataki noodles. Tofu Shiritaki have 20 cal per serving. Yam sherataki have 0 cal.

Isn’t that incredible?

Of course it is!

If shirataki noodles are zero calorie, I can't help wondering what's in them.

Are they made from rubber bands or spun plastic or something equally indigestible?

Not sure they sound like something I'd actually want to be eating, but am curious to learn more.

@ TTP the ingredidients are water, tofu, yam flour and calcium hydroxide. They are truly delicious and filling. I'm sold on them :flowerforyou:

They're made from the konjac plant, and I believe they're basically all fiber, which is why they have no calories.

I've just discovered the shirataki noodles myself. This sounds wonderful. Had no idea you could dry fry them!!

For those who don't know where to go -- I get mine at a local health food type grocery store. They come in a baggie, in liquid, and are in the refrigerated stuff by the hot dogs, etc. Very inexpensive - less than $1.50 and 1 bag can make 2 meals. I just had some for lunch today.

Rinsed well, microwaved for a minute, and then added to your remaining ingredients and they are quite good and a wonderful pasta alternate. When I first had them, they did have a bit of a spongy type texture, but they honestly taste like regular pasta when mixed up with the other stuff.

Last night, I took 2 lite laughing cow wedges - garlic herb, plus a T of parmeasean and a T of greek yogurt. Put that in the microwave for about 25 seconds and then mixed it well with a fork. Tossed my rinsed and microwaved noodles in a small skillet with some cooked small salad shimp and my cheese mixture and a touch of salt and pepper and it was delicious!
Very rich tasting and less than 100 calories as a meal!

I'm definately going to have to try these buffalo wings
