Shirataki (shee-rah-TAH-kee) noodles are made from Konjac flour, which comes from the roots of the yam-like Konjac plant grown in Japan and China. They are mostly composed of a dietary fiber called glucomannan and contain very few calories and carbohydrates. ( or even carb-free). Some shirataki noodles are made out of tofu, which have a small amount of carbs.
Shirataki are typically sold in wet form -- the noodles are bagged in liquid. All it requires is rinse and drain them before using for the recipe. They do not have much flavour by themselves, but absorb flavors well from other ingredients you can combine them with. You can easily find shirataki noodles at Asian stores or online.

- Drain and rinse shirataki noodles very well. Set aside. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil into a skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add in seasoned shrimp and cook until they turn pink. Remove and place them in a bowl.
- Add the remaining olive oil into the skillet, then garlic and ginger. Cook for a few seconds, then add in all the shredded vegetables. Cook for a minute. Add shirataki spaghetti, stir-fry 2 minutes. Stir in sweet chilli sauce and shrimp, heat through. Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed. Serve immediately.

This is such an exotic and delicious dish!
Kisses,dear!
I love the sound of these noodles, Angie...AND the gorgeous dish you made with them! Scrumptious!
I love this dish! It looks so delicious, and the colours are so vibrant!
How pretty. I don't think I've ever seen a more beautiful presentation of spaghetti.
looks tasty and new to me love learning about new food to try
I have everything but the noodles. Since a trip to the store is planned anyway for today, I'll be sure and pick them up. The asparagus I have in the frig will be terrific in this dish.
I discovered these noodles a few years ago and although they do have quite an odour when first opened the strong flavours of this beautiful stir fry would certainly enhance these unusual noodles. My husband can't stand the texture, but I don't mind it particularly if I know it is not a carb and it has very few calories, I can be very forgiving!

Hi Angie, i never try shirataki spaghetti before. They look yummy with the colourful and flavourful combination. Thanks for sharing ;)
This looks wonderful. I have looking for something like this for lighter weeknight dinners. Thanks.
The noodles are wonderfully interesting. I will look for them and give it a go. The ginger and shrimp combination is perfect. The colors in this dish are amazing. Very pretty!
Great looking dish, yum! I bet my family would really enjoy this!
I love this! I buy yam noodles for hot-spot (shabu-shabu)..not sure it's the same thing but I totally want to look for this. I've heard of the tofu version but never seen it in stores. Time to look harder.
Healthy, inexpensive, tasty and beautiful. What more could one ask?

I have never heard of Shirataki noodles before but the salad looks amazing. I think it is actually great that they don't have much flavor but rather absorbs flavors of other ingredients.
Delicious dish
something similar to wat i was luking for.. lovely colors too
Yummy and exotic dish.. would love to make it .. but we sometimes don't find the ingredients where I live.. Thanks for your comment on Beetroot Raita ..
Angie Raita means some veggies or fruits added to the churned yogurt..In South India it is known as pachadi and they add tempering to it.
Thank you for introducing thee special noodles to me! The dish looks pretty appetizing & just wonderful too! Yum Yum Yummm!
Shirataki noodles sound great - I will have to look out for them when I am next in town.
Have a super week ahead Angie.

This is such a gorgeous dish Angie! Love how colorful and pretty it looks! I have seen shirataki noodles at our local asian market but have never tried cooking with them - they sound awesome and can't wait to give them a try next time :)
I've never heard of Shirataki noodles before but can't wait now to get some to try with some of my favorite stir fry recipes. From what they're made from you'd think they would have some flavor. Very intriguing. I may have to run out today and find them so I can use them with this evenings dinner. Thanks for sharing this.
Absolutely brilliant! Not only I love the flavours, but I always love your beautiful presentation... and the noodles on the silver platter looks gorgeous.
I love being challenged when I come to your blog with new ingredients. I must find an Asian market to look up these noodles. Hubby would love this dish, but I'm vegetarian so I would add the shrimp last for him! XOXO
Very scrumptious and colorful. That is a beautiful dish, Angie. Have a great week ahead. :)
Pure Decadence.
Wish I could dig in to some of that! Mmmmmm. xx
I love my carb free noodles and am always looking for new recipes to spice them up. This dish looks fabulous!
This looks wonderful, I'm definitely going to search out these noodles. GG
The food looks delicious - and the dishes are almost as beautiful! Such a lovely set of photos.
Always something exotic and unusual in Angie's kitchen; shirataki spaghetti look yummy!
Dear Angie, What a beautiful, colorful and delicious meal. Blessings dear. Catherine xo
Those colours! What is catching my attention now though is the Albert Einstein quote below your comments. Vegetarian love girl!

Hi Angie,
I have never heard of Shirataki Spaghetti before! Looks delicious!
I'll keep a look-out for these !
I used to eat shirataki noodles all the time in college! Love this tasty stir fry using them...all that flavor in the sauce makes up for the noodles not having much flavor!
I am a big fan of stir fries and this one is a total winner...bursting with colors and flavors. Great post Angie.
Hi Angie, thank you for your sweet and caring comment. I adore your shirataki spaghetti, and shrimp has to be my most favorite crusted seafood...so versatile!
Love the preparation, and the addition of the bitter radicchio, and of course the sweet and spicy chilli sauce! Superb:)
un plat parfait et exotique
bonne journée
Very colorful dish, looks very good..
gorgeous photoes as always :), first time hearing about this noodle. sounds very exotic :)
This dish looks amazing, Angie! Beautiful colors, wonderful flavors and textures!
we used to eat a lot of shirataki when we were tying out this new diet. it was a great substitute for carbs! love this recipe!
These noodles are new to me but would love to try them! There's nothing better than shrimp and a little chili sauce on the side :)
It looks FANTASTIC!
i don't often eat food like this, but your creation looks quite delicious! what an exciting collection of colors and flavors and textures.
Exotic and delicious! I always have this food in restaurants. Thank you for sharing this post I want to give it a go. Looks so good!!
Spaghetti stir fry is one of my favorites. You make it look even better.
Angie this dish is so tempting and colorful, love anything with shrimp. I think I have seen these noodles but never bought them. Love the idea of just rinsing them and no cooking.
Stir fry is one of my favorite weeknight meals, and yours looks glorious!
This is enticing Angie! So vibrant and colorful! I saw these at my market but haven't tried them yet. I definitely will now.
Such a beautiful and exotic looking dish! Love the textures and flavors.
I didn't know about these noodles! It looks very tasty and delectable. I must search in my Asian store for them!
I have never heard of this type of spaghetti. Your stir fry pasta dish looks divine!
Angie , I never thought that you could use Shirataki for stir-frying ! We use it when we have a hot pot :D I called it konnyaku , it is the same , right ?
Such a pretty dish Angie - I've tried both regular shirataki and tofu shirataki - different in texture, but both nice and light.
I love me any good stir-fry :-) This looks delicious and your bowls look terrific. I need to buy me some of those!
Love your stir fry spaghetti. So colourful and definitely very healthy!
i love how colorful the pasta is Angie! It looks fantastic and I am a sucker for mushrooms in just about anything
Angie, first time for me to hear of Shirataki but it looks really like Penang laksa noodle! This dish looks fantastic!
I have never heard of Shirataki before - thank you for enlightening me. The Shirataki look lovely in this stir fry - such a colorful and flavorful dish!
Perfect! It looks and sounds delicious!
I have not knowingly ever tried these! And now I can't wait to try them. Thanks Angie, for this explanation!
This is a really lovely stir-fry! I love to make these for a quick and healthy weeknight dinner.
Thank you for introducing this, another new one for me :) Looks healthy and delicious!
That looks fabulous, Angie. Makes such a great presentation as well as being delicious.
I have never heard of Shirataki before.. but it doesn't surprise me... each time I come to your blog I find I know so little about the food of the world :) I'm so happy to learn of these new things though as this dish, once again, looks and sounds amazing!!
This is so pretty, lovely colours and flavours.
I would dive into this spaghetti! :) ela
I love stir fry, this looks great. And full of delicious shrimp!
Shirataki spaghetti! I just had a few times...did not really care for its texture...but after seeing what you have here I might give another try.
Hope you are having a wonderful week Angie :D
Your clicks made me hungry and I'm just starting my day here! It is true, Shirataki noddles do absorb all the flavors and this is what I like about it :)
Such a beautiful dish, Angie! Your presentation and photos are gorgeous!
Eversince my dad got diabetes, i try this kind of zero calories noodle or pasta for him and he quite like it too....
looks delicious and i guess this is a good option for my weight issue too!
I've never had shirataki spaghetti before- they look like rice noodles....do they taste similar?
I love the colors in this wholesome, fresh stir fry! It looks like spring on a plate, Angie. Great job!
I didn't know these noodles at all, Angie. The dish looks incredibly yummy and it's healthy. Perfect!
What a beautiful stir-fry, Angie! I was just thinking about buying some shrimp yesterday. Now even more reason to do so. :)
Looks like a delicious and healthy meal!
Spaghetti Stir fry! That's interesting! This looks delicious Angie!

Wow!
This looks stunning! Love the flavors, colors and presentation!
This recipe easily doubles.
This dish looks so vibrant and inviting! Have tried shirataki noodles before and they really do not have much flavor. Maybe it was the way I cooked it?
I have only used Shirataki in hotpot. amazed that they go so well as a spaghetti dish!
Mmmm... I'll be dreaming about this for lunch tomorrow :)
Oh my goodness Angie, could this dish look any more inviting? As I read through the ingredient list my mouth is watering and I can literally smell the delightful aromas wafting up from this beautiful stir-fry. Gorgeous!
looks yummy
