    Serving Suggestions

    These  Sesame Ginger Noodles are one of my favorite side dishes to serve with just about any Asian inspired main dish. I've included some of my favorite recipes below. But I'll let you in on a secret ... I love to make a batch of these noodles and mix them into my Pork Egg Roll in a Bowl Recipe. DELISH! Try it and I promise you won't regret it.

    While this is an egg free recipe, they are also really good with some light and fluffy scrambled eggs mixed in. Looking to make this vegetarian noodle recipe a full meal deal? Just mix in your favorite protein - beef, pork, chicken, and shrimp are all excellent choices.

    How to cook shirataki noodles

    Shirataki noodles, miracle noodles, konjac noodles, Japanese yam noodles – Whatever you wish to call them, there is one thing that usually rings true. They smell pretty awful! They just do. If you’ve ever opened up a bag of shirataki noodles, then you know the smell I am talking about. For many, it has been so off-putting that they opt to not even give them a try. But I am going to give you some tips and tricks that just might change all of that. If shirataki noodles just truly aren't for you, you can always make this recipe with zucchini noodles, shredded cabbage or spaghetti squash.

    THE TYPE OF SHIRATAKI NOODLE MATTERS

    A successful shirataki recipe really depends on the type of noodle you buy. For years, I could never get used to the texture or taste of them until I found just the right brand. It truly makes all of the difference in the world. I have been able to find them in nearly all of the grocery stores near me, but I usually buy them in a package of 10 from Amazon because it saves money and they last a long time in the fridge. This is the brand of shiritaki noodles that I recommend.

    PREPARATION METHOD IS KEY

    If you take a bag of shirataki noodles and toss them directly in a pan, this is your first mistake. It is important to drain the liquid they are stored in and soak them in a bowl of fresh water for about 20 minutes. From there, drain them and give them another good rinse. If they still have an odor or feel a little slimy, soak them again. Then, I drain them and dry fry them in a pan for abut 5 minutes.

    Taking all of these steps will really help them absorb the flavors you are cooking them in and lose a lot of that rubbery texture. While this really helps, they are still not for everyone. I have found that using them in Asian inspired cooking is usually the gateway into loving them. In my book Dairy Free Keto Cooking, I made a beef ramen that is so spot on taste and texture wise that I simply cannot get enough of it. They definitely resemble the texture of rice noodles more than they do a traditional flour pasta. However, through finding the perfect brand and taking the time to properly prepare them, I have become a big fan!

    Ingredients

    Scale
    • (4) 8-ounce packs spaghetti style shirataki noodles (I use this brand)
    • 1 cup tahini, almond butter, or natural peanut butter
    • ¼ cup gluten free soy sauce
    • 1 ½ tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar
    • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
    • 3 tablespoons golden monk fruit (I use this brand) code PEACE for 20% off
    • 2 teaspoons ground ginger
    • 2 cloves garlic, minced
    • 4 green onions, sliced on a bias
    • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
    • fresh lime wedges, for serving

    Instructions

    1. Prep the shirataki noodles as per the method above.
    2. While the noodles are dry frying over medium to medium-high heat, prepare the sauce. Combine the tahini, soy sauce, rice vinegar, lime juice, monk fruit, ginger, and garlic in a mixing bowl and whisk to combine. Your sauce may vary in thickness depending on the type/brand of nut or seed butter you use. If necessary, you can add a little water to thin it out.
    3. Pour the sauce over the noodles and mix in until all noodles are evenly coated.  Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 5 to 10 minutes or until the sauce and noodles are heated through.
    4. Top with a squeeze of fresh lime juice, sesame seeds and green onions.

        Hmmm. I just clicked all the links for the noodles and they all do in fact go to the brand I use. But here is another link - https://amzn.to/2ClxLcj

          A quick way to remove the fish odor from the Shiritaki that has that odor (Oat Fiber Shiritaki by Zeroodles does not) is to add 1 tsp per package of an acid, like lemon juice or vinegar in the rinse water. It totally removes the odor I am thinking it has to do with the acid neutralizing the lime they use to make the noodles. It works every time.

      This is a fantastic recipe.. What really caught my attention is the Guardian Ware platter. I inherited my mother's Guardian ware set just in the past few years. Cooking with Guardian Ware is wonderful.

        So happy you enjoyed it. I love this platter. I had no idea of the brand when I got it. I found it at a vintage store near my house. I love it. I wish I had a whole set.

        I haven't made the recipe yet, but I also wanted to comment on the Guardian Ware platter. My grandmother owned a huge set of Guardian Ware that they bought from a traveling salesman when my dad was a kid. Every meal she made was cooked in those pots, pans, and various cooking gadgets that came with the set. She even made their morning coffee in their Guardian Ware stovetop percolator! I have lots of cool memories of family meals made in her kitchen, so it's pretty cool to see someone else using that same cookware. 🙂
