Ingredients

Scale

Shirataki Noodles

  • 1 package Angel Hair Shirataki Noodles (7 ounces)

Butter Sauce

  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese (grated; 10 grams)
  • 1/4 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Rinse the Noodles: Open the shirataki noodle package and pour its contents into a colander. Rinse the noodles thoroughly under cold running water to remove their natural odor and excess liquid, then drain well in the colander.
  2. Dry-Roast the Noodles: Heat a clean, dry, medium-sized skillet over medium-high heat. Transfer the noodles to the hot skillet and dry-roast them without any oil, stirring frequently for 1-2 minutes until the noodles look visibly dry and start to make a slight squeaking sound. This step improves their texture by reducing rubberiness and preparing them to absorb the butter sauce better.
  3. Add Butter: Add the unsalted butter to the skillet with the noodles. Stir thoroughly to coat all the noodles evenly. You will notice the noodles change from translucent and slimy to a more opaque, golden color with a delightful butter aroma.
  4. Season and Finish: Sprinkle in the kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, and garlic powder. Stir the mixture evenly to distribute the seasonings. Turn off the heat, then mix in the grated parmesan cheese until well combined. Serve immediately while warm for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Rinsing and dry-roasting the noodles is essential to improve their texture and flavor.
  • You can adjust the amount of parmesan cheese according to your taste preference.
  • For a richer flavor, consider adding fresh herbs like parsley or basil as a garnish.
  • Consume the noodles promptly after preparation to enjoy the best texture and taste.
