Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Shirataki noodles (spaghetti style)
- 2 teaspoons Matcha green tea powder
- 2 tablespoons Avocado oil
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce (gluten-free, low sodium)
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 3 Green onions, thinly sliced
- 100 grams Baby spinach
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Begin by preparing the shirataki noodles as per package instructions: rinse thoroughly under cold water and boil for 2-3 minutes to reduce the natural odor, then drain well and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix together the matcha green tea powder and a tablespoon of hot water to create a smooth paste. Adjust with additional water if needed to reach a smooth pouring consistency.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat and add the avocado oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
Stir in the soy sauce, sesame oil, and the matcha paste, combining everything well.
Add the prepared shirataki noodles to the skillet, stirring to coat them evenly with the sauce. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the noodles to absorb the flavors.
Toss in the baby spinach, green onions, and sesame seeds, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until the spinach wilts slightly.
Season the noodles with salt and black pepper, tasting and adjusting if necessary.
Remove from heat and serve immediately, garnishing with additional sesame seeds if desired.
