Today, you can enjoy the many benefits of shirataki in every pack of Miracle Noodles!

What Are Miracle Noodles?

Miracle Noodles are a special kind of noodle known as shirataki in Japan. They are also sometimes called konjac noodles since they are made from the root of the konjac plant. These noodles are very low in calories, with most varieties being calorie-free. The noodles are made from the gelatinous fiber of the konjac root. It has different styles including spaghetti (the one I’m using in this post), fettuccine, or angel hair noodles.

Ingredients You’ll Need

• Miracle Noodles
• raw shrimp
• olive oil
• carrots
• garlic
• ginger
• soy sauce
• sugar (optional)
• green onion
• salt and pepper

How To Cook Keto Lunch Shrimp and Miracle Noodles

These noodles are extremely quick and easy to prepare. My favorite way to cook it is stir-frying:

• Cut open the package and rinse the miracle noodles with cold running water in a colander.
• Add the noodles to a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook for 2-3 minutes until dry. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Add oil to a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and ginger. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
• Add carrots (or other vegetables), and sauté for about 5 minutes or until tender.
• Add in the shrimp and stir fry another 2-3 minutes until they just turn pink.
• Add the cooked noodles, soy sauce, optional sugar, and green onions. Stir to combine. 

Tips & Tricks

• Be sure to use cold water to rinse the noodles so you don’t start cooking the noodles during the rinsing phase.
• Drain the noodles properly before cooking.
• Cook the drained miracle noodles for 2-3 minutes separately in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until mostly dry before mixing it with other ingredients.
• Stir-frying produces the best texture. If you’d like to make a low-carb meal, you can stir fry your miracle with shrimp and veggies.

What Do Miracle Noodles Taste Like?

On their own, these noodles don’t have much of a taste. Yet they have an amazing ability to take on the flavors of whichever sauce or meats they’re paired with. In terms of texture, Miracle Noodles are a little chewy and taste like jellyfish.

Where To Buy Shirataki Noodles?

They’re available at many online retailers such as Amazon or Thrive Market. If you’d like to pick some up in-store, check your local grocery store such as Whole Foods (I bought mine at Whole Foods).
