How Many Calories Are In This Absolutely Delicious 2-Plus Pound Stir Fry?

Let’s add them up:

Shirataki Noodles (2 pounds): 0 calories
Cooked Salad Shrimp (2 ounces): 53 calories
Turkey Pepperoni (8 slices, diced): 35 calories
Butter Buds Sprinkles (3 tsp): 30 calories
Baby Bok Choy (1 ea): 9 calories
Better Than Bouillon Chicken Base (1 tsp): 15 calories
Olive Oil Cooking Spray (3 sprays): 2 calories
Fresh Basil (1/4 TBSP, chopped): 0 calories
Green Onion (1 stock): 3 calories
Onion Powder (1 tsp): 0 calories
Garlic Powder (1 tsp): 0 calories
Black Pepper (1/2 tsp): 2 calories

So if you could somehow eat this entire two-plus pound bowl of delicious noodles you would put away a total of 147 calories.

If you need to reduce sodium you should half the amount of shrimp, delete the Better Than Bouillon and use extra Butter Buds Sprinkles.

The Recipe:

1) Dry fry the shirataki noodles, on high, in a pan coated with olive oil cooking spray until nearly dry.

2) Reduce heat to medium, add chopped green onion, Better Than Bouillon and pepperoni, and fry for several more minutes, blending thoroughly.

3) Add chopped bok choy, onion powder, garlic powder and pepper and cook for a few more minutes.

4) Add Butter Buds Sprinkles and shrimp and stir fry for one more minute.

Enjoy!

    Shirataki noodles are made from a Japanese yam instead of flour. They come packed in water and need to be rinsed with hot water to get rid of the slightly fishy smell. After that you just dry-fry them on high with cooking spray and they taste (and smell) wonderful!

    Actually shirataki noodles have no calories. You are, apparently, using Tofu-Shirataki noodles which are a blend of tofu and shirataki, The tofu adds 40 calories per half pound serving.

    If you want to save a few more calories try switching to the pure shirataki noodles!

    Shirataki noodles have 20 calories per 4 ounces... That would be 160 calories
    for 2 pounds. Still very low, but certainly not zero.

    Even the yam version of shiratki noodles contain calories, 6 calories per 1.7 ounce serving - which would
    equate to about 113 calories for 2 pounds (32 ounces). It wouldn't make sense for 2 pounds of anything
    we eat to contain 0 calories.

    Just reading on these shirataki noodles as well, and has anybody gotten a really upset stomach from these? It says the people in the USA aren't used to the fiber in these and can cause severe upset stomach?!?

    I have eaten a pound of them every day for almost a year and haven't gotten an upset stomach even a single time.
