Miracle Noodles with Green Onion and Garlic (gluten-free)

Okay so this is one of my new favorite recipes and it’s SO easy and can be made in about 10 minutes. I came up with this last week when I was figuring out what to make for dinner but just wasn’t feel super hungry. I ate a late lunch and for some reason didn’t have much of an appetite, which is actually pretty rare for me, but I always believe in listening to my body. I remembered I had bought Miracle Noodles from Whole Foods and decided to make something with those. If you haven’t heard of Miracle Noodles you can find out more HERE.

They’re basically a 0 calorie noodle made out of Konjac flour and water that can be used as a substitute for any recipe where you would use normal noodles. And before I go any further I want to say that I do NOT believe in calorie counting or restricting calories AT ALL. I believe in eating whole foods closest to their natural state; lots of fruits, vegetables, plant based foods, and high quality meat and fish. These foods are nutrient dense and your body will easily be able to assimilate the nutrients and calories because it recognizes them. Processed foods are so altered and filled with chemicals, preservatives, sugar, etc. Our bodies get confused by processed foods because they don’t recognized these lab made ingredients and eventually they wreak havoc on our bodies and cause disruption, illness, imbalances, etc. When I do buy something out of a package, I always look at the ingredients to make sure that:

1. I can pronounce the ingredients

2. There is minimal ingredients included

3. There isn’t a lot of added sugar, preservatives, etc

Basically I can talk about food quality all day long and is clearly something I’m passionate about. With that being said, let’s get to the recipe. Like I said above, this is so easy to make, gluten-free, can be made vegan, has so much flavor, and takes only about 10 minutes to make!

Ingredients:

1 tbsp ghee or olive oil

1 Package of angel hair Miracle Noodes, rinsed and dried off

4 garlic cloves, chopped

1 shallot, chopped

1/2 cup chopped green onions

1 tbsp tamari

1 tbsp toasted sesame oil

1 tsp black pepper

1/2 tsp sea salt

Directions:

1. Heat the ghee or olive oil in a medium pan over medium-low heat. Add in the shallots, garlic, salt and pepper and cook for a few minutes until slightly brown, stirring the whole time.

2. Add in the rinsed noodles (make sure they’ve dried off a bit so you don’t add water to the pan), tamari, and 1/4 cup of green onions to the pan with the garlic and shallots. Stir until the green onions start to wilt just a little bit.

3. Take the noodles off of the heat and add to a bowl. Drizzle the noodles with the toasted sesame oil and add the rest of the uncooked green onions. Top with extra salt and pepper if needed.
