How to Cook Dry Shirataki Noodles

 

 

While zoodling your veggies can make for delicious, nutrient-dense pasta, some days you just want the ease of tossing some noodles in a pan, ready to go. If you’re wondering how to make shirataki noodles, don’t worry—they’re about as easy as it gets.

When preparing these keto-friendly noodles, you will likely notice an odd or fishy odor when you first open your package of noodles. Fear not, the noodles themselves are tasteless, and some quick but essential prep work will take care of the odor.

The noodles come packaged in water, so first drain and rinse them thoroughly with clean water in a colander.

Start some water at a low boil, and toss the rinsed noodles in for just 2-3 minutes. Rinsing and boiling the noodles will take care of the fishy smell and improve their consistency.

After that, dry roast the noodles in a pan with no oil for about a minute to heat off the extra water and give them more of a traditional pasta mouth-feel.

When you make shirataki noodles at home, they’ll take on the flavor of whatever you mix them with, so have some fun experimenting in the kitchen. Toss them with the sauce and toppings of your choice. There are a ton of shirataki noodle recipes out there that can serve as a starting point for you to expand off of.

Shirataki Noodles Nutrition Facts

As far as food labels are concerned, shirataki noodle nutrition facts are fairly straightforward. After all, traditional shirataki noodles are made entirely from water and fiber from the konjac yam (plus a little lime to help the fiber stay solid), so you won’t have much to read through.

This fiber is called glucomannan, a soluble fiber that can help boost your digestion and curb hunger. Glucomannan is available as a health supplement, and studies back its potent ability to curb hunger hormones, fuel good gut bacteria as a prebiotic and keep you regular.

The glucomannan fiber in shirataki noodles can also support weight management and boost your cardiovascular health by improving cholesterol and blood sugar.

 

How to Add Shirataki Noodles to Your Keto Diet

 

Texture-wise, they’re slippery and slick, sort of like a cross between spaghetti and aloe vera gel, and they are virtually flavorless on their own. In my opinion, their texture and ability to soak up flavors add another level of enjoyment to my keto meals.

There are many varieties of shapes and flavors — some are made only with konjac plant, others with added tofu or other proteins and carbohydrates intended to give them a specific texture that mimics more traditional noodles.

I’d suggest sticking to the pure shirataki noodles — the ones that are made from the konjac plant without anything added. The brand I use the most is miracle noodle. They make so many varieties of shirataki noodles that you’ll easily be able to find one that works best for you.

Each noodle variety can be added to the diet in many ways that can fit any lifestyle. When I am too tired to cook, for example, i’ll quickly rinse, drain, and dry the noodles and mix them with some leftover tomato sauce and meatballs (like these). This is a great way to have a quick and delicious meal in 10 min or less.

You can also combine the shirataki noodles with any other sauces or curries that you like. In the mood for some thai food? Whip up some red coconut curry and throw some noodles in. Want some noodles in your keto-friendly soup? Mix in some shirataki noodles.

However, before you start experimenting, don’t forget to prepare them properly. When I first started using shirataki noodles, I dumped them straight from the bag into some tomato sauce, and it turned my delicious sauce into a slimy, slippery, and bland mess. What was I missing?

I didn’t consider the fact that the shirataki noddles were already saturated with water. So, instead of soaking up the sauce, the noodles just sat there without adding anything to the dish. What I should have done was take the time to prepare the shirataki noodles for culinary perfection.

 

How to Keep Dry Shirataki Noodles From Having That Super Rubbery Texture

When cooking up some dry shirataki noodles, also called konjac noodles, you may not want to cook them directly out of the package. Although tossing the japanese noodles into some boiling water may be the quickest and easiest way of cooking them up, it could leave your dish with a rubbery, tough texture — not at all what you'll want when you're adding them into a bowl of soup.

Fortunately, there's an easy way to prevent any unpleasant textures in your noodles. Before you even cook your noodles, rinse them out right after taking them out of the package. The noodles are made from konjac yams, and rinsing them will help remove some of the excess starch, which can contribute to the stickiness of the noodles.

It will also help eliminate some of the smell. That the noodles often have a distinct smell when fresh from the package, which can be removed when rinsed out. Once the asian noodles are squeaky clean, you can then boil them to cook them up as you would normally prepare them.

Once you've finished boiling the dry shirataki noodles, there is one more step you can take to keep them from getting rubbery. Drain the water from the noodles, then add them into a skillet or pan on their own — no added oils needed. Allow the noodles to fry in the pan on the stovetop for about five to seven minutes. This added heat will draw out extra moisture from the noodles, but it won't dry them out completely. Less moisture in the noodles will make for a better texture.

Once you've cooked your dry shirataki noodles and removed the excess moisture to prevent that rubbery texture, they're ready to add into your favorite noodle dishes. To amplify the flavor of the noodles, you can combine them with sauces, broths, and any of your preferred toppings. Or, you can add them into stir fries — like this shirataki noodle stir-fry with broccoli, carrots, mushrooms, and red pepper.
