Mi Shirataki is a zero calorie dish that can be used in any delicious dish. Shirataki noodles themselves have no taste, but they can absorb any flavor you mix into them. Let's start cooking!
Step
Part 1 of 3: Boiling Noodles
Step 1. Unpack the noodles
Tear off the packaging by pulling the plastic over the area that says “pull here”. You can open the package without doing this step by cutting it with scissors.
- Keep in mind that many Shirataki packages include liquid in them.
- Don't worry about any scent the noodles give off.
Step 2. Soak Shirataki noodles
Soaking the noodles for 2-3 minutes will get rid of any chemical residue left behind by the factory.
- Use cold water for soaking.
- Use a filter for best results.
- Soak the noodles completely.
Step 3. Prepare water for boiling
Place the water kettle on the stove. Turn on the fire to start raising the temperature of the water.
- Make sure the water doesn't boil too much.
- Reduce the heat if the water boils too strong.
Step 4. Put the noodles in boiling water
Boil noodles for 2 or 3 minutes. Try to make the noodles soft or according to the level of hardness you want.
- Boiling noodles too long will result in tough noodles.
- Do not boil too long because the water will evaporate, and may cause the noodles to scorch.
Step 5. Dry the noodles
Take a strainer and place it in your sink. Remove the kettle containing water and noodles. Hold the kettle over the strainer and slowly pour the water and noodles into the strainer. Pour the noodles into a colander and put them back in the pot.
- Slowly pour the water and noodles into the colander.
- Be careful of hot water which can cause burns and injuries.
Part 2 of 3: Baking Noodles
Step 1. Heat the pan
Place the pan on the stove and turn on the heat. Add a little oil to the pan.
- Heat until the oil sizzles.
- Use a cast-iron skillet for best results.
Step 2. Put the noodles in a hot skillet
Bake dry for about 1 minute. Stir occasionally to prevent the noodles from sticking to the pan and to cook the noodles evenly.
- Thicker noodles take longer to cook.
- Thin noodles take less time to cook. Be careful not to cook it too long.
Step 3. Remove the noodles once they are dry
Bake noodles until dry. Stir and listen for a squeaky sound. Remove from the stove once the noodles make the noise or cook to your desired dryness.
Baking the noodles dry will help remove the tough texture the Shirataki noodles may have
Part 3 of 3: Serving Noodles
Step 1. Add noodles to another dish
Use noodles as an ingredient in other recipes you prepare. Mixing noodles into other recipes can be a good way to add some delicacy to a dish you enjoy.
- Shirataki noodles themselves are flavorless, so they won't affect the taste of your dish.
- Add serving sizes to your dishes without increasing the calories.
Step 2. Add other ingredients to your noodles
Turn your noodles into a main dish by adding any flavors or ingredients you want. Mix other ingredients to add flavor to Shirataki noodles.
- Use whatever flavors or ingredients you like.
- Mi Shirataki is very good at absorbing the flavors mixed into it.
