I’ve been in love with Shirataki noodles since I first discovered them years ago. For me, the attraction was instant but I know some people aren’t so lucky on their first encounter with these calorie-free noodles. The right flavors and preparation can make all the difference so, even if you’ve tried these noodles before and…
Sichuan Shirataki & Cucumber Sesame Noodle Salad
Happy 2016! I hope you had an awesome New Year. This year I surprised Brad with a trip to Catalina for their annual Gala in the Avalon Casino. If you’ve never been, the casino is a large, beautiful art deco building with a massive ballroom and movie theater that was built in 1927. It’s never…
Super Skinny Creamy Spinach Pasta Primavera
Does a giant bowl of creamy noodles packed with Spring vegetables for under 150 calories sound too good to be true? Creamy AND vegan? Noodles AND gluten-free? Brad didn’t believe me either until I used this recipe to try out Miracle Noodle’s new spinach shirataki noodles. Granted, this is a very different dish that your…
Skinny Chicken Pad See Ew
Pad See Ew is a popular Thai dish of wide noodles cooked in a sweet, salty, smokey sauce. The most critical component is the “wok taste” – that smokiness from slightly charred noodles. Everything about it makes it a perfect candidate for a shirataki noodle swap. Since shirataki noodles don’t burn, you can let the…
Vegan Shirataki Pad Thai and Miracle Noodle Giveaway
January 2 always feels like the first real day of the New Year. For me, January 1 is dedicated to recovering from New Years Eve celebrations and generally being lazy. After a season of overindulgence, Brad and I shook off the last of the holiday fog today. We packed up our decorations, cleaned the house, and…
Kung Pao Chicken and Shirataki Noodles
Brad has officially declared this his favorite shirataki noodle dish. For me, I can’t decide between this, the cold sesame noodles, or curry noodles. If you haven’t read my spiel before (I really need to create an information page I can link to rather than launching into this every post), shirataki noodles are vegan, gluten-free,…
Shirataki Sesame Noodles
Let me introduce you to my new shirataki noodle crush. This recipe is perfect. Just 15 minutes to make and under 170 calories per massive serving. Honestly, this should probably be 5 servings but, you know, they’re really good. If you’re not familiar with shirataki noodles, then first, you probably don’t read this blog often…
Spicy Chicken and Peanut Shirataki Noodles
The end of the quarter is always a hectic time for us at work and this month is especially busy as we have a huge project we’ve committed to release in June. I’m expecting a few late nights this week and spent Sunday prepping some meals I can whip up in a snap. One of…
Shrimp Curry Shirataki Noodles
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…
Miracle “Arroz” con Pollo
I love shirataki noodles – the vegan, gluten free, negligible calorie noodles made from the konjac yam. When I first discovered them I bought a giant sampler from the Miracle Noodle company that also included shirataki rice – the same product shaped as little spheres. After a stir-fry experiment that was decidedly not delicious, these…
