Shrimp Shirataki Asian Pasta Salad

• 1 package (7 ounces / 200 grams) Shirataki white yam noodles, angel-hair, linguini, or fettucini-style. I used angel-hair.
• 4 teaspoons Thai peanut sauce
• 4 teaspoons lemon juice.
• 1 teaspoon low sodium tamari
• 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil, either spicy or mild.
• 1 ounces / 30 grams mung bean sprouts.
• 1 ounces / 30 grams julienned bell pepper, preferably yellow, orange or red (for color) I cut the long juliennes into halves, as well.
• 1.75 ounces / 50 grams pre-cooked shrimp, small.
• 1/2 sliced green onion/scallion.
• garnish: cilantro / coriander leaf.

Cook the noodles as per package instructions. Drain in cool water, shake off excess, and set in fridge in a bowl.

Make the sauce in a small bowl (peanut sauce, lemon juice, tamari, sesame oil).

Add this to the noodles and mix until coated.

Add the veggies and the shrimp, gently mix.

You can refrigerate until serving; add the cilantro at that time.

Are these the same or similar as the zero cal noodles?

Its a lovely pretty dish and the dressing sounds very tasty. Very different from dull party pasta!

Yes, these are similar to the Zero Cal noodles... in fact that was the brand I used for the "fail" recipe I didn't post - a fail NOT due to the noodles, but to me.
