Have you heard of Miracle Noodles? They defy nature. I am not sure what to make of them. This comes from their website:
* made of naturally water soluble fiber with no fat, sugar, or starch.
* contain zero net carbohydrates and zero calories, no gluten -made of a healthy natural fiber called Glucomannan.
* wheat & gluten free and kosher.
* Easily absorbs the flavors of any soup, dish, or sauce.
* are instant and come in a variety of styles
* have shown beneficial effects backed by medical studies for Type II Diabetes, Constipation, Obesity, and Cholesterol!
I mean, I love them. Zero calorie and zero carbs? Can you say love? BUT my brain farts…because…well, how can noodles NOT have any calories? This doesn’t make sense to me. I choose to shrug it off and consume. You have to buy these babies off the internet. This is is my second shipment I have ordered. They arrived the other day.
I decided to make some noodles loosely based off an email the company had sent me/their customers. This is what they sent me:
Rachael Ray’s Hot or Cold Sesame Miracle Noodle Recipe
Ingredients
* 1-2 7oz. bags of Miracle Noodles
* 1/4 cup Tamari
* 1/4 rounded cup smooth peanut butter or crunchy peanut
butter, softened in microwave 15 seconds on high
* 2 tablespoons cider or rice wine vinegar
* 1 tablespoon dark sesame oil
* 2 tablespoons Sriracha hot sauce
* 2 cups shredded cabbage and carrot mix
* 1 cup bean sprouts
* 3 scallions, chopped
* 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
Directions
Open bag of Miracle Noodles into a colander and rinse with warm
water for a couple of minutes and boil for one minute, pat dry with
a paper towel or small hand towel. Cut noodles with scissors to
make smaller pieces.
In the bottom of a large bowl, whisk together soy, peanut butter,
vinegar, sesame oil, and hot sauce. Add noodles and veggies and
toss to combine the noodles and coat them evenly with sauce.
Sprinkle scallions and sesame seeds throughout the salad and serve.
Or you can heat the sauce for a couple of minutes in a sauce pan,
then add noodles and serve hot! It’s makes great leftovers the next
day!!
Well, (a) since I didn’t have all the ingredients (b) didn’t care (c) don’t follow recipes very well (d) wanted to do it my own way, I made my own recipe using:
- generous drizzle of Sriracha hot chili sauce (wooo!)
- splash of Apple cider vinegar
- packet of Justin’s Almond Butter
- splash of Bragg’s Amino Acids
- splash of Low-Sodium Tamari
- dash of Ginger
- generous pouring of Roasted Sesame Seeds
- Diced Onions
- Minced garlic
- package of Bean sprouts
- package of Coleslaw mix (basically, shredded cabbage)
- Boneless, skinless chicken breast
- Broccoli
I first combined the tamari, vinegar, Sriracha, Bragg’s, and ginger, and stir-fried that with the garlic and onions. Once that had cooked a few minutes, I added the coleslaw (cabbage), beans prouts, broccoli, and chicken. Meanwhile, I was rinsing the miracle noodles with hot water in a colander. Lastly, I added the miracle noodles, sesame seeds, and almond butter. And a little more Sriracha. Yay! This meal is SUPER low calorie. Like, for-real-is-it-this-low-in-calories?-low-in-calories. Because these noodles are “miracle noodles.” What do you think about these miracle noodles? They are quite delicious! If they are indeed zero calorie, they are even more dreamy 😉
