I am experimenting with food for my clients again!

Shirataki Noodles are a good option for someone who wants to add bulk (more mentally and physically filling) to meals, without adding carbs and very minimal added calories. I am not a big fan of fake meals, so I like to make a meal that I usually would (heavy on veggies) and add a bit of Shirataki noodles for different spin on a recipe that I make often. For example, it’s nice to add about 1/4 cup to soups or to a stirfry.

One complaint about Shirataki noodles is that they are more firm than regular noodles and also that they can have a little bit of a sea-like taste to them. A tip to improve both of these factors is to first sautée your veggies and then add the noodles to slightly brown. Next, and add the sauce to the pan. Cook the noodles and the sauce for a few minutes and they will absorb the flavor and also get a little softer.

Shirataki noodles with tomato sauce and veggies; adding a little meat is optional. Next time I would also add shredded zucchini.
