How to Cook Shirataki Noodles

Step 1

Place shirataki noodles (1 7 ounce package) in a colander and run cold water over them for a few minutes, occasionally tossing. This will remove the fishy smell. While in the colander, I like to cut the noodles so they aren't as long using kitchen scissors, but that's optional.

Step 2

Place noodles in a microwave safe bowl, and microwave on high for 2 minutes, this will help their texture. Remove from the microwave and dab with paper towels to remove as much liquid as possible.

Step 3

Melt butter (1 tablespoon) in a large pan over medium heat. Add the garlic (2 cloves) and saute until fragrant. Add the noodles, salt (1/4 teaspoon), and pepper (1/4 teaspoon). Toss and continue to cook until the noodles become opaque and are well coated in butter for 5 minutes. They should no longer squeak in the pan.

Step 4

Remove the noodles from heat and add the parmesan (3 tablespoons). Toss to coat, and enjoy!
