miracle noodles

I’ve made one other dish with these “miracle” noodles so I am still new to the ingredient but so far, they haven’t dissapointed.

What’s a miracle noodle? Miracle noodles are actually shirataki noodles which are made from the konjac plant or elephant yam which grows in Asia. The shirataki noodles are dubbed the “miracle” noodle because it can contain 0 carbs, 0 sugars and 0 fat! Additionally, shirataki noodles are not just made from the konjac plant, but actually from a dietary fiber called Glucomannan which is extracted from the roots of the konjac.

It gets better…Glucomannan has been studied and found to be an effective weight-loss supplement. TELL ME MORE!

You can find these noodles at your favorite health store like Sprouts or Whole Foods and I have also seen them on Amazon. Be warned, they smell slightly fishy coming out of the package, however you rinse them thoroughly, boil for a few minutes and then add them to any dish. The smell goes away after boiling. So now that you know what I know, check out my recipe below for your own taste of miracle noodles or watch me make it here step by step: https://www.instagram.com/stories/highlights/18061806805137079/

miracle noodles with beef

makes 4 servings

  • 2 packages of shirataki noodles
  • 2 top round steaks or any inexpensive cut of beef
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon of oil
  • 2 cups of water
  • Veggies of choice. I used 4 mini bell peppers, 1/2 a red onion, a few grape tomatoes and one head of bok choy
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/4 tomato bouillon cube
  • 1 teaspoon crushed garlic
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
  1. Start by rinsing and then draining the noodles. Put in a pot with 2 cups of water and boil for 3 minutes. Then drain.
  2. In a separate pan, season your steak with salt and pepper and cook on both sides about medium-well. Set aside to rest under foil.
  3. Chop up your veggies and add to the same pan the steaks were cooking in with oil.
  4. Next add the aromatics – soy sauce, fish sauce, rice wine vinegar, sesame oil, bouillon cube, garlic and ginger. Cook for a few minutes.
  5. Slice the steak against the grain in 1/4 inch slices.
  6. Add the noodles and steaks to the pan and stir to combine.
