Miracle Noodle Info and Recipes

Miracle Noodles have been approved by Dr Schwartz for use on the program.  They can be purchased from the Miracle Noodle web site:  www.miraclenoodle.com.  If you see Miracle Noodles in Oriental grocery stores be sure they are "shirataki noodles" made from yam flour, zero calories, and not the soy- or tofu-based noodles.

Miracle Noodles are made of a soluble fiber and contain no carbohydrates, starch, or calories.  They may be used once a week on vegetable days (or once every 2 veggie days).  Serving size is 7 ounces.  The noodles have no flavor but will take on the flavor of the vegetables you put with them.  Most of the people on our program seem to favor the angel hair as it is thin and described as less rubbery.

Miracle Noodles come in a liquid pack of 14 oz.  There is an "aroma" when you open the plastic pack but rinsing them in cold water for a few minutes and following with a hot water rinse will help eliminate this aroma.  Miracle Noodle also recommends "dry roasting" the noodles to eliminate the aroma using the following steps:

1.    Heat a non-stick skillet over high heat
2.    Add the shirataki noodles and dry roast for around 1 minute.
3.    When they are dry, you often hear a squeaking noise as you move them.
4.    Add stock, sauce, or vegetables.

Miracle Noodle Suggestion from Gilda

There is an odor when you open the package but if you soak them for about 2 minutes in cold water and then 2 minutes in hot water, the smell is gone. You can then add them to soup or a sauce and cook for about 2 minutes. If you leave it overnight the noodles will absorb more of the flavor. I find it's more of a texture change - they don't have much flavor. I love slurping them up. The thicker versions are more rubbery but I don't even mind that. Remember only half the pack is considered one portion.  A s ingle serving is as defined on their package (sometimes 1/2 pack, sometimes 1/3 pack). The rest should be put in water in a covered container, used within 5 days and water changed daily. If you have "sauced" them, use within 2 days.

If you miss real spaghetti (and spaghetti squash is not your thing) then try the Miracle Noodles.

Asian Cold Noodles (Mo)

1 package of (yam) Miracle Noodles
1 Tbsp Walden Farms Peanut Butter Spread
1 Tbsp Bragg's Amino Acid
1 Tbsp Fresh Minced Ginger or Ginger Powder
1 Scallion Sliced into small pieces

Place noodles in colander and rinse under cold running water until
smell is gone.  Drain.  Add Walden Farms Peanut Butter spread, Bragg's Amino Acid, Ginger Powder.  Mix and top with scallion pieces. Delicious, filling, and legal.  Seasonings may be adjusted as desired.  You might want to experiment with the addition of chili pepper (slices or powder).  Enjoy.  Mo prefers the "bite" of fresh ginger.  Peel with paring knife and use microplane grater for desired amount.  Store leftover ginger in refrigerator in paper bag.

Chap Chae (Danielle)

1/2 pound Miracle Noodles angel hair pasta (keep in mind you are allowed a single serving over 2 veggie days).
Spray of PAM,
3/4 cup thinly sliced onions
2 carrots, cut into matchsticks
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
3 stalks scallions, cut into 1″ lengths
1/2 cup mushrooms, thinly sliced (shitake, wood ear)
1/2 lb spinach, washed well and drained
2 tablespoons Bragg Amino Liquid
Packet of Splenda (to Taste)

Fill a large pot with water and boil. When water is boiling, add the noodles and cook for 5 minutes. Immediately drain and rinse with cold water. Drain again and spray with PAM to coat so they don't stick, and toss.  Use kitchen shears to cut noodles into shorter pieces, about 8 inches in length. Set aside. In bowl, mix AMINO LIQUID & SPLENDA together. Add the PAM in a wok or large sauté pan on high heat and swirl to coat. When the pan is hot but not smoking. “Fry” onions and carrots, until just softened, about 1 minute. Add the garlic, scallions and mushrooms, “fry” 30 seconds. Then add the spinach, AMINO LIQUID, Splenda and the noodles. “Fry” 2-3 minutes until the noodles are cooked through
