Hi, I finally found shirataki noodles today at one of my local grocery stores. They are very bland by themselves so I was wondering if anyone out there had a good recipe or ways to use them?:ohwell:

    You can google beef sukiyaki...I think it would be yummy in that (substitute the noodles).

    Hungry-girl.com has a bunch
    or she has a few cookbooks

    I can't eat them the texture does not agree with my palate. But I do not several people who do like them.

    I finally found then a week ago as well at my local grocery store.
    I have just introduced them to my simple chicken sauté with veggies.
    Basically they are noodles that replaces normal spaghettis. Add italian sauce, garlic butter and chicken... whatever you feel like!
    My next "recipe" i'll try will be:

    Smoked salmon
    Capers
    Olive oil
    Garlic
    Salt, pepper
    Aneth
    And probably a lil Parmesan!

    Edited to: change a word I mistyped

    One piece of advice about all kon'yaku, including shirataki. If you overindulge you will feel so uncomfortably full you'll never want to try them again.

    So I would say stick to small portions and use some simple sauces. Miso is good on them.

  • They are bland themselves but they soak up flavor very well. I like to soak mine in a teriyaki marinade before I use them in a stir fry. I find they're quite flavorful after soaking a bit, goodluck

    Still can't find them at my local grocery store. I live in North Carolina. Does anyone know where I could find them? Would love to try this!

    My grocery store doesn't carry it but my health food stores do, have you looked there? They are refrigerated.
  • I only eat them when I already went over my calories, yet am still hungry.
    If you want an extremely low cal yet filling dinner, try them with some tomato sauce.
    Or try adding them to some stir fried veggies. It's like a stir-fry minus the calories.

    Duh! I haven't even thought to look there. There is one that's probably an hour away, but definitely worth going there to take a look. Thanks!!! :)

    I also make a stir fry...throw in some veggies and maybe a protein...and I've been using either a thai chili sauce or a thai peanut sauce (both made by kikkoman). As long as you monitor how much sauce you put in...the calorie and sodium levels aren't too bad!

    The simplest thing I do with them (I do lots of things) is: pesto and gorgonzola. YUM.

    Otherwise, any recipe you'd use noodles or rice for works!

    Here's a Korean Veggie/Beef dish...came out yummy!!

    Here's the recipe (you can substitute agave nectar with sugar if you want).

    Ingredients:

    4 bags of the shirataki noodles (found at Whole Foods or other asian markets (near the tofu section usually)
    1/2 a pound of sukiyaki meat (or similar)...thin slices of beef
    1 bunch of spinach
    1 medium size carrot (julienned)
    1 medium size onion (sliced thinly)
    Sliced mushrooms (2/3 of a cup)
    3 cloves of garlic
    7-8 green onions (cut into 2 inches in length)
    soy sauce, sesame oil, agave nectar, pepper, and sesame seeds

    Makes 4-6 servings.


    Rinse the noodles under cold water thoroughly in a colander. Boil water in a big pot with a little salt and add the noodles when the water boils for about 3 minutes. Drain the noodles again in cold water and cut them about 3-4 inches (can use scissors or knife). Set aside in a big bowl.
    In another pot of boiling water, add a bunch of spinach and stir it gently for 1 minute. Then take it out and rinse it in cold water 3 times. Remove any grit or dead leaves thoroughly while rinsing. Squeeze it gently to get the water out, then cut it into 2-3 inch pieces.
    On a heated pan, put a table spoon of olive oil and cook the onions until translucent...add garlic and then add the beef. Also add 2 tablespoons of soysauce, teaspoon of sesame oil, and a little agave nectar (about 2 teaspoons).
    Once it all cooks, put the meat and onions into the big bowl with the noodles.
    Go back to the pan and add the carrots, mushrooms, green onions and cook for about 2 minutes with a little olive oil. After put it into the big bowl, including the spinach.
    Add 2 tbs of soy sauce, 2-3 tbs of agave nectar, 2 teaspoon of sesame oil, and 1 tsp of ground pepper to the large bowl. Mix all ingredients, then sprinkle 1 tbs of toasted sesame seeds on the top. Taste as you go along...you might want to add more agave nectar or soy sauce depending on your taste.
    That's it! Hope you guys like it. :)

    Another super easy one, if you like kimchi:

    shiratki noodles, warmed, with kimchi on top.

    fab-u-lous

    The Grand Asian Market is where I get them. ( Im also in NC ) Im with rest of the group, they are a whole lot of nothing, I'd rather just cook spagetti squash.

    I made baked spaghetti with them and absolutely loved it. I'm a huge fan of cheese, and the shirataki noodles allowed me to keep the calorie count down despite tons of it.

    6 packs shirataki noodles (we used the non-tofu kind)
    2 cups ricotta cheese
    1 jar Newman's Own Sockarooni sauce
    2 cups mozzarella cheese
    8 tbsp. parmesan cheese

    Drain, rinse, and dry fry noodles, mix ricotta and pasta sauce, and then add all three to a 9x13 pan. Bake for about 25 minutes then sprinkle mozzarella and parmesan on top, and bake for about 5 minutes (or until cheese is melted).

    Super easy and DH and I loved it. We actually plan to make it again tomorrow. :)

    I also live in NC in a small town and I found them in Ingles in the produce section, near the salad dressings and wonton wrappers- they are easy to overlook so take your time- they come in a clear bag. hope that helps
