Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 packages (7 oz each) Shirataki noodles
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (low-sodium, if preferred)
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Hoisin sauce
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 Scallions, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon Toasted sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon Vegetable oil
Instructions
Drain the shirataki noodles from their packaging and rinse thoroughly under running water for 2-3 minutes to remove their natural odor.
Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Add the rinsed noodles and cook for 2 minutes. Drain well and pat the noodles dry with paper towels.
Heat the teaspoon of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the noodles and dry stir-fry for 2-3 minutes to remove excess moisture. Set aside.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together sesame oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, hoisin sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes (if using).
Add the prepared sauce to the skillet with the noodles. Toss the noodles in the sauce until well coated and heated through, about 1-2 minutes.
Remove the skillet from heat. Garnish the noodles with sliced scallions and toasted sesame seeds.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Sesame Shirataki Noodles!
