Ultimate Guide to Shirataki Noodles: Recipes and Step-by-Step Instructions

June 3, 2016 by Maggie Jones 15 Comments

Cold Sesame Shirataki Noodles

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 and 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

April 26, 2015 by Maggie Jones 4 Comments

Gluten-free, vegan pasta primavera that's just 150 calories a serving

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

January 17, 2015 by Maggie Jones 12 Comments

This Skinny Chicken Pad See Ew is so light and easy to make

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

Super fast and easy Miracle Noodle Pad Thai - vegan and gluten-free

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

October 28, 2014 by Maggie Jones 5 Comments

Light and healthy kung pao chicken with 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,…

Cold Sesame Shirataki 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…

Shrimp Curry Shirataki Noodles

June 20, 2014 by Maggie Jones 8 Comments

Curry Shrimp Shirataki Noodles with peppers and mushrooms

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

April 15, 2014 by Maggie Jones Leave a Comment

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…
