The biggest complaint about shirataki noodles is the smell that comes from the liquid they’re packaged in. Not only does the liquid give it an odd smell but also adds a sliminess to the texture. The package directions tell you to microwave the noodles and strain any excess water. However, I began using some additional steps to help better the taste and texture of these noodles. It will take a bit more time but it is well worth it. The steps will be listed in the directions of the recipe.
Like most of the world’s population, garlic is one of the great loves of my life. I eat it religiously! One of my favorite garlic dishes is the garlic noodles dish. Garlic noodles is a asian-style dish that many restaurants have put their own spin on. One of my favorites is from the Yard House. They make theirs with shiitaki mushrooms and top it off with parmesan cheese. It’s simply delicious! So, one day while salivating at the thought of these noodles, I thought: What’s stopping me from making a Dukan-friendly version of garlic noodles? The answer — nothing!
I made this recipe for lunch today and I have to say: It was the BEST shirataki recipe I’ve tasted thus far! Shirataki noodles definitely work best with asian-style dishes and this is one of them.
Ingredients:
- 2 packets fettuccine shirataki noodles
- 3 medium mushrooms, diced

- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cloves garlic, sliced
- 4 tbs splenda brown sugar

Your pan seared garlic noodle recipe looks awesome. I plan to try it using Miracle Noodle shirataki noodles. I like them because they have no calories or carbs and they have no soy which others do. I rinse really well after opening the package and sometimes cut the noodles for some dishes. Many other interesting recipes are on their Facebook page. I love mushrooms too:)
Thank you! Yes, this recipe works great with shirataki noodles. I found that boiling them really helps as well. I will have to check out their Facebook page for ideas!
I found your site while on the Dukan Diet. I tried this recipe and absolutely loved it. My husband did too and he wasn’t dieting. Thank you for your creative way of cooking. I had never heard of Shirataki noodles before, now it’s a great way of limiting carbs.
