Shirataki are low-calorie noodles that can be used to make many varied and delicious dishes. By itself, shirataki noodles do not have a pronounced taste, but they perfectly absorb the aroma of other products. Let's try making shirataki noodles!

Steps

Part 1 of 3: Boiled noodles

1. 1 Open the package of noodles. Open the package of noodles and free the extra packages of noodles. As a rule, the packages indicate exactly where to open the package, or simply cut the package with scissors.
   • Remember that many bags of shirataki noodles contain some liquid.
   • Often times, the noodles may not smell so good - don't worry about that.
2. 2 Rinse the shirataki noodles. Rinse the noodles for 2-3 minutes to rinse out any residue left over from the noodle making process.
   • Rinse the noodles with cold water.
   • Use a colander for convenience.
   • Rinse the noodles thoroughly.
3. 3 Boil water. Place a pot of water on the stove. Turn on the heat and bring the water to a boil.
   • Watch the process so that the water does not boil away.
   • If the water boils too much, reduce the heat.
4. 4 Place the noodles in boiling water. Boil the noodles for 2-3 minutes. Try to get the noodles at the exact moment when they reach the desired firmness.
   • If you cook shirataki noodles for too long, they can become "rubbery."
   • Do not cook the noodles for too long, or the water will boil off and the noodles will burn.
5. 5 Drain the water. Use a colander for this. Place it in the sink and carefully drain all the water into it along with the noodles. When the water is drained, transfer the noodles back to the pot.
   • Slowly drain the water and noodles into a colander.
   • Be careful! Water and steam can be very hot and cause burns or injury.

Part 2 of 3: Fried noodles

1. 1 Preheat a skillet. Place the skillet on the stove and light the fire. Add some vegetable oil.
   • Preheat the skillet until the oil sizzles.
   • For best results, use a cast iron skillet.
2. 2 Place the noodles in the skillet. Fry the noodles for about 1 minute. Stir occasionally to keep it from sticking to the pan and to cook evenly.
   • The thicker the noodles, the longer it takes to cook.
   • Thin noodles cook very quickly, so it's especially important to keep an eye on the frying process.
3. 3 Fry the noodles until dry. When all the liquid has evaporated, the noodles are ready. Stir the noodles when done, they will crackle slightly. Remove the skillet from the heat when the noodles are cooked to the desired degree.
   • Frying this way helps to avoid the "rubbery" texture that shirataki noodles often have.

Part 3 of 3: Serving the noodles

1. 1 Add noodles to other meals. Use the noodles as an ingredient in other recipes. You can add noodles to vegetable, meat, fish, or other dishes.

   • With shirataki noodles, you can increase your portion sizes without increasing the calorie content.

   • You can use whatever spices and seasonings you like.
   • Shirataki noodles perfectly absorb all tastes and aromas.
