Ingredients
 

Instructions
Tofu Shirataki noodles are traditional Japanese noodles made of tofu and some kind of yam fiber. They look like noodles, feel like noodles, and have pretty much no flavor. The best part? There are only 20 calories in a half cup serving of Shirataki noodles! Where else can you get pasta for so little calories (besides the zucchini pasta I've shared in the past)? Pretty cool. With only 3g of carbs per serving, they fit in well with a low carb diet. I found them in the health food section of my grocery store. They will be in the refrigerated section.
However, if you, like me, got all excited a few years ago when Shirataki noodles became popular and bought a package, tore it open and started eating it, you probably HATE them. You probably think they are foul and disgusting. I say this because I threw away the first package I ever bought. It was horrid. But I didn't know how to prepare them, so I got the traditional fishy smell clinging to the noodles and making me gag. And so it has been many, many years and I never had the urge to try again. Until now.I saw an article about how the key to getting delicious Shirataki noodles is in the pre-preparation of the noodles before you throw them into a recipe. Let me share the miracle with you-
1) open the package and dump the contents into a colander/strainer over the sink. 2) Rinse with warm water. Drain. Stir. Rinse some more. Drain. Rinse and rinse. Repeat. 3) Toss the drained noodles into a pot of boiling water. Stir. Let them boil for 3 minutes. 4) Dump them back into the colander to drain. 5) rinse again with warm water, and drain very thoroughly.
