Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams shirataki noodles
- 3 tablespoons coconut aminos (soy sauce substitute)
- 1 tablespoon chili oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 stalks green onions, sliced
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Rinse the shirataki noodles well under cold water to remove any odor from the packaging. Drain thoroughly.
In a small saucepan, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until it is fragrant and lightly golden, about 1-2 minutes.
Add the coconut aminos and chili oil to the saucepan, stirring to combine with the garlic. Allow the mixture to simmer for 2-3 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
Toss the drained shirataki noodles into the saucepan, coating them evenly with the sauce. Heat for another 3-4 minutes until the noodles are heated through.
Transfer the noodles to a serving dish and garnish with sliced green onions, sesame seeds, and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes if desired.
Serve hot as a main dish or as a side.
