It’s hard to believe that this giant bowl of creamy curry noodles clocks in at under 300 calories. The secret is shirataki noodles, noodles made from the konjac yam that are gluten-free, vegan, fat-free, and calorie-free. I get a shipment of Miracle Noodles delivered every month. The smell of the packing liquid when you first open a bag can be a little off-putting but a rinse and parboil will get rid of the odor. They absorb the flavor of whatever sauce they’re served with and work beautifully with any Asian-influenced recipes.

Here, the noodles are bulked up even more with fresh veggies and plump little shrimp swimming in a flavorful coconut curry.
Use whatever vegetables you have on hand: carrots, snap peas, eggplant or broccoli would all be great. If you don’t like cilantro, you can swap out Thai basil.
Ingredients
- 1/2 tbs oil
- 2 tbs fresh garlic, minced
- 2 tbs fresh ginger, minced
- 5 scallions, whites and greens separated and thinly sliced
- 2 tbs red curry paste, or more to taste
- 1/2 tbs curry powder
- 1 can light coconut milk
- 1 tbs fish sauce
- 2 bell peppers, assorted colors, cut into thin strips
- 6 oz mushrooms, thinly sliced
- 4 7-oz bags shirataki noodles (I use angel hair Miracle Noodles)
- 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
- sriracha, to taste
- 1/2 c cilantro, chopped
Instructions
Thoroughly rinse the shirataki noodles in hot water. Using kitchen shears, cut into shorter lengths.
Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil. Add noodles and boil for 1 minute to remove odor from the packing liquid. Drain and set aside.
Heat oil in a large skillet, braiser or wok over medium-high heat. When shimmering, add garlic, ginger, scallion whites, curry paste and curry powder. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1-2 minutes.
Add peppers and mushrooms and saute for 5 minutes, stirring. Add coconut milk and fish sauce. Bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium and add noodles and shrimp. Simmer until vegetables are crisp-tender and shrimp are just cooked through, about 5 minutes. Add sriracha and adjust seasoning to taste. Stir in cilantro and serve.

You use 4 7oz bags of noodles? Seem like a lot.
Maggie Jones says
I admit, I eat an entire bag (7oz) as one serving. If you’re less glutenous and get 2 servings out of a bag, you can absolutely halve the portion sizes – and score half the calories.
Jay says
I couldn’t agree more. I can probably eat closer to 2 bags at a time myself!
