Update on my taste test--Shirataki Noodles

I was excited when I received the packet of shirataki noodles in the mail. The shirataki fettuccini I tried tonight was AWESOME! The texture was very close to actual pasta. In fact, I didn't even notice the lack of pasta or carbs! The following is a recipe I threw together tonight. Try it out and let me know your thoughts. Enjoy!

Veggie Wonderland

Ingredients:

2-7oz bags shirataki fettuccini (low carb choice)

1 cup shredded carrots
1/2 cup
sunflower sprouts or any bean sprouts
1/8 tsp low sodium soy sauce
2 tbsp no salt added tahini
1 tsp dried basil
1 tsp no salt added Italian seasoning
1 tbsp Bragg
2 tbsp water



Directions:
1. Bring a pot of water to boil, add the shirataki noodles when the pot is boiling
2. Bring the noodles to boil for about 5 minutes and drain the water from the noodles
3. Rinse carrots and sprouts, drain, and set it aside
4. In a mixing bowl mix together the soy sauce, tahini, basil, Italian seasoning, Bragg, and water
5. When the mixture is smooth, add in both carrots and sprouts and the shirataki noodles

Optional: I used what I found in my fridge, so you can use different vegetables. In addition, you can choose to use regular whole wheat pasta instead of shirataki noodles.
