What are they?  Shirataki Noodles are a type of Japanese noodle made from the\u00a0konjac yam and water.  After they are cooked, they are packaged in water to keep them fresh. Shirataki noodles are a great alternative to traditional pasta as they are gluten-free, low-calorie, and low-carb.  Shirataki noodles have a mild flavor and are very versatile.  They can be used in a variety of dishes such as in soups, salads, stir-fries, and in pasta recipes.  I like mine mixed with a simple sauce and some mushrooms.  Sometimes I add some lightly cooked snow peas and julienned carrots.  Quick and easy to make.  Great for a quick light lunch or a late dinner.  Cheers!!!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized has-custom-border\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"11643\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/drewfrederic.com\/?attachment_id=11643\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/drewfrederic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/2dc27d63-c35a-4515-b331-efbe7d16bba0.jpg?fit=1118%2C1415&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1118,1415\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1689305771&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"2dc27d63-c35a-4515-b331-efbe7d16bba0\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/drewfrederic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/2dc27d63-c35a-4515-b331-efbe7d16bba0.jpg?fit=750%2C949&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/drewfrederic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/2dc27d63-c35a-4515-b331-efbe7d16bba0-809x1024.jpg?resize=313%2C396&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11643\" style=\"border-width:2px;border-radius:9px;width:313px;height:396px\" width=\"313\" height=\"396\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/drewfrederic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/2dc27d63-c35a-4515-b331-efbe7d16bba0.jpg?resize=809%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 809w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/drewfrederic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/2dc27d63-c35a-4515-b331-efbe7d16bba0.jpg?resize=237%2C300&amp;ssl=1 237w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/drewfrederic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/2dc27d63-c35a-4515-b331-efbe7d16bba0.jpg?resize=119%2C150&amp;ssl=1 119w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/drewfrederic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/2dc27d63-c35a-4515-b331-efbe7d16bba0.jpg?resize=768%2C972&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/drewfrederic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/2dc27d63-c35a-4515-b331-efbe7d16bba0.jpg?w=1118&amp;ssl=1 1118w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 313px) 100vw, 313px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Ingredients<\/span><\/strong>:<br>14 ounces shirataki noodles<br>1 clove garlic, minced<br>1 small piece ginger, sliced into small matchsticks<br>Handful of oyster mushrooms or any kind you prefer<br>Handful of snow peas<br>1 small carrot, sliced into small matchsticks<br>Few pieces of broccoli rabe<br>1 1\/2 tablespoon soy sauce<br>1 teaspoon dark soy sauce<br>1 teaspoon black vinegar (or rice vinegar)<br>1 tablespoon maple syrup (or agave syrup)<br>2 tablespoons <a href=\"https:\/\/drewfrederic.com\/?p=11628\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"11628\">chili oil<\/a><br>1\/2 teaspoon crushed chili flakes (or Gochugaru &#8211; Korean chili flakes)<br>2 1\/2 ounces bean sprouts<br>1\/2 tablespoon corn starch (or potato starch) + 1 tablespoon water<br>1\/2 teaspoon white or black sesame seeds<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Directions<\/span><\/strong>:<br>1.
