Shirataki noodles/zero noodles/miracle noodles

[lozzers_losing_weight]

Ok so I managed to get some of these from my local Korean supermarket. Now my question is what to do with them?

How do u cook them? What recipes do u make with them?

They look kinds rubbery and all stick together so I haven't really got the faintest idea where to start...?

Hiya Lozzer

Shirataki noodles are generally already cooked. I just put mine in a colander, rinse really well under cold water (discard the water in the packet - otherwise you'll get really fishy noodles) and then run them under really hot water for three minutes .... then they are ready to eat

You can put them in soups, cover them with pasta sauce, add them to stir fry, or try chicken carbonara.

Try searching how to cook them on google. Susie is right the rinsing is really important but also they absorb flavour so the longer you can boil them up with your soup or what ever the better

Thanks girls. Any ideas on getting them to loosen up and not stick together so much?

Not sure about them being stuck together. Mine usually come in a liquid that smells fishy and look like this:



I wonder if you have the dried or tofu shirataki noodles?

Do they taste fish too??

 

[Soraya]

Thankfully no. The smell isn't terrible just unexpected - I nearly threw mine away the first time thinking they were off.

They don't taste of anything at all, they just take the taste of the liquid that you put them in.

Not like pasta noodles in texture more like thai glass noodles.

Are they totally carb free?

Hi Soraya

I have the same as u. When I say stuck together I mean gloopy stuck together if u kinda get what I mean? So when I put them in my stir fry they didn't separate up well and mix in properly they just all stayed together.

I can't visualise this - mine are pretty slippery and don't stick to each other - although now I think about it they don't really mix into the stir fry ingredients.

Perhaps you could post a photo to see if anyone has any ideas?
