Shiratakis are the newest noodles on the block...superpopular in springtime because they're low- or no-calorie so they fit into anyone's get-your-beach-body-on plan. Yes, you can eat noodles and be stunningly healthy too! ;)
Some notes on these noodles...
• They're made from a yam-like root veggie known as konjac, alone or with tofu.
• They have no taste. Bury them under a delicious stir fry, sauce, soup or veggies.
• They smell a bit seaweedy...ignore this. It goes away once you rinse and cook them.
• Experienced shiratakians offer tips like marinating overnight to plump them up with flavor.
• Shiratakis may seem light and innocent but they satisfyingly fill you up with noodlehappy fiber! :)

I would love to try these noodles if I can get them here. I think soba is still my favourite though. Thanks for all the noodle-related posts, I really enjoyed them :)
ReplyDeleteI just bought a boatload of cashews so I've got to try your Soba Noodles with Lime, Ginger and Cashews now! ;)
DeleteI've tried these noodles! I actually quite enjoyed them, and I can't believe they are so low calorie. I just had them in a regular veggie stir-fry but that sukiyaki sounds great!
ReplyDeleteYour gorgeous Asian Noodle Salad is going on the menu too...yay for cashews and soba! :)
