This recipe uses shirataki noodles. People either love them or they hate themThey were okay for being a no
calorie and no carb noodle. Just make sure you rinse them very well otherwise
they have a fishy smell. I believe it is the liquid the noodles are stored
in that have the smell. The noodles themselves are made from yam flour.
The yam flour is not the yam / sweet potato we think of. It's a fibrous root
plant from Asia. I got them here.
They do have another type of shirataki noodles that are made from tofu but they
have calories and carbs. You can get them here.
Make sure you rinse, rinse, rinse and then rinse them again in hot water. You
don't cook them - just rinse them in hot water and then add to your dish.
You can snip them into small pieces with scissors or you'll end up with noodles
that are 3ft long.
