Pork Shirataki

We really enjoyed this! However I am obliged to add the caveat: I'm apparently incapable of following a recipe to its instructions. So this is what I did: halved the recipe and made with ground turkey instead of pork. Mixed quarter recipe of marinade and turkey well, added a bit of panko and wasabi to mixture, and let sit overnight. Parboiled shirataki for 3 mins as instructed on package while the turkey mixture cooked in the wok. Added other half of marinade mixture (with corn starch) to wok along with assorted veggies, followed by noodles and a few dashes of crushed red pepper. As this was also my first time using these noodles I wasn't sure what to expect, turns out DH never suspected he was eating turkey OR tofu. YES!!!!! It's a winner!

I haven't made this yet, so I cannot comment on the flavor, but I just wanted to add that you could easily cut out 3g carbs per serving without affecting flavor by replacing the corn starch with Konjaku, guar, or xanthan powder (all-fiber thickeners so effectively zero net carbs). You could further reduce the carb count by 4.3g/serving by replacing the honey with stevia or truvia, but that would affect the flavor, and I don't know how much, but for those on very low carb diets these 2 changes can help get this meal down to only 8.5 carbs/serving--almost half the original!

This was the first time I've ever cooked shirataki. It was wonderful! I didn't feel like waiting for the meat to marinate so I used ground pork and made the sauce while cooking the meat. I used 3 TB Korean red pepper and half as much honey (I like spicy food). I also added matchstick celery for crunch. Great recipe! I'll definitely make this again.

I did not use the noodles, but served it on a leaf of napa cabbage, rolled up, like an eggroll. It was fantastic! I did add a bit of extra ginger and garlic, because I really like both flavors strong. Otherwise, I didn't change anything.

This was my first time cooking with the Shirataki noodles! I marinated the pork overnight and it all came together on the stove really quickly. This has a nice slightly sweet and spicy flavor like what you would find at an authentic Chinese restaurant...it's not greasy or heavy. And the noodles are excellent low carb pasta substitute! I will definitely be making this again! Thanks!
