Shirataki Peanut Noodles
Recipe: Shirataki Peanut Noodles
Ingredients
- 2 -8 ounce packages Shirataki Noodles
- 1/3 cup chopped green onions
- 1/3 cup shredded carrots
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
- 1/4 cup miso, vegetable or chicken broth (I used miso)
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon red chili paste
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon chopped ginger
Instructions
- Open Shirataki Noodles. Drain, rinse and boil for 3 minutes. The liquid stinks, so don’t get it on your hands. Boiling gets rid of the “natural” (icky) smell.
- Place drained noodles in a bowl with the onions. Trust me. After boiling them, they won’t stink.
- Combine remaining ingredients in a small saucepan; Heat over medium and stir until smooth.
- Pour over noodles and onions and toss.
