Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 ounces Shirataki noodles
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 large Garlic cloves
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Begin by thoroughly rinsing the shirataki noodles under cold running water for 1-2 minutes to remove any natural odor.
Drain the noodles and pat them dry with a kitchen towel to remove excess moisture.
In a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, add the rinsed noodles and dry-fry them for 3-4 minutes. This process will help remove most of the moisture.
Transfer the noodles to a bowl and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium-low heat.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves, then add them to the melted butter. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Return the shirataki noodles to the skillet, and toss them to coat thoroughly in the garlic butter.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the noodles, tossing gently until well combined and the cheese has melted.
Add the salt and freshly ground black pepper, and toss once more to incorporate the seasonings throughout the noodles.
Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve immediately while hot and enjoy your low-carb buttery delight.
