Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Shirataki noodles
- 200 grams Extra-firm tofu
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Chili oil
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 3 whole Green onions
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 150 grams Broccoli florets
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1/4 bunch Cilantro (optional)
Instructions
Rinse the shirataki noodles well under running water for about 2-3 minutes to remove any off-putting smell. Drain and set aside.
Pat dry the extra-firm tofu with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Cut into small cubes.
Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add the sesame oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the tofu cubes and pan-fry them for about 8 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown on all sides. Remove from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add the minced garlic and chopped green onions (white parts only) and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the broccoli florets and sliced red bell pepper to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the rinsed shirataki noodles to the pan. Stir well to combine with the vegetables.
Drizzle the soy sauce and chili oil over the noodle mixture, and sprinkle with black pepper. Toss everything together until the noodles are well coated.
Add the cooked tofu back into the pan and stir until all the ingredients are fully combined and heated through.
Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onion tops and cilantro, if using.
Serve the high-protein shirataki noodles warm and enjoy your flavorful meal!
