Shirataki are also known as miracle noodles as they contain very little calories or carbohydrates, but are rich in protein. They soak up lots of flavours which makes them ideal for using in stir fry dishes like this one.
• Shirataki Noodles – 1 Pack
• Enoki Mushrooms – 1/2 Pack
• Spring Onions – 1 Bunch
• Sesame Oil – 1 Teaspoon
• Red Chilli Pepper – 1 Small
• Soy Sauce – 1 Teaspoon
• Rice Vinegar – 1 Teaspoon
• Shichimi Chilli Powder
Start by washing the shirataki in water until the smell of the packaging water is gone.
Remove any of the roots from the spring onion and cut the bottom ends from the enoki mushrooms. Slice the spring onion into approximately 3cm lengths.
Heat up the sesame oil in a pan and add the shirataki noodles. Then add the enoki mushrooms to the pan and allow them to cook for a few minutes.
Now add the spring onions, soy sauce, rice vinegar and red chilli peppers to the pan and cook for a further 5-10 minutes. Serve immediately. If you want a bit of extra kick, try adding some shichimi chilli powder before serving.
Remember Copydex, that interesting glue we used to use at school? The water used in the packaging smells a bit like that so it is always a good idea to wash or boil the shirataki noodles before preparing them to remove the slightly bizarre odour!
