Shirataki Noodles With Broth (Printable)

Light yet satisfying zero-carb noodles in aromatic bone broth with Asian-inspired flavors.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Broth

01 - 4 cups high-quality bone broth (beef or chicken)
02 - 1 thumb-sized piece fresh ginger, sliced
03 - 2 cloves garlic, smashed
04 - 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
05 - 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
06 - 1 teaspoon sesame oil

→ Noodles

07 - 14 oz shirataki noodles, drained and rinsed

→ Toppings

08 - 2 soft-boiled eggs, halved
09 - 1 small spring onion, thinly sliced
10 - 1 small red chili, thinly sliced
11 - Fresh coriander or parsley, chopped
12 - Toasted sesame seeds

# Directions:

01 - Combine bone broth, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil in a medium pot. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat.
02 - Reduce heat and simmer broth for 10 minutes to allow aromatic flavors to develop fully.
03 - Drain and thoroughly rinse shirataki noodles under cold running water. Place in a sieve and pour boiling water over them to eliminate any natural odor.
04 - Add prepared noodles to the simmering broth and heat through for 2-3 minutes until warmed completely.
05 - Discard ginger and garlic slices from the broth using a slotted spoon or ladle.
06 - Divide noodles and broth evenly between two serving bowls. Arrange optional toppings including soft-boiled egg halves, spring onion, chili, fresh herbs, and sesame seeds as desired.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The broth becomes deeply aromatic in just ten minutes, filling your kitchen with ginger and garlic warmth
  • Shirataki noodles absorb all that savory goodness while staying light on your stomach
  • You can customize the toppings based on what is in your fridge, making it perfect for last-minute meals
02 -
  • Never skip the step of pouring boiling water over the shirataki noodles, as this removes the slightly off-putting smell that can turn people away from ever trying them again
  • The broth needs to be well-seasoned before adding the noodles, since shirataki does not contribute much flavor on its own
  • Add protein like shredded chicken or tofu if you want this to feel more like a complete meal rather than a light lunch
03 -
  • If your store-bought broth lacks depth, simmer it with the aromatics for closer to fifteen minutes instead of ten
  • Use a mesh strainer when removing the ginger and garlic so you do not accidentally leave small pieces behind
