Shirataki Fried Rice is a great pantry ingredient-based meal to make while we are all trying to stretch our groceries as far as they can. I went and snooped around my pantry and fridge and pulled together this easy recipe with ingredients I always keep around. Ever heard of shirataki? Check out some info on it below plus some substitutions and additions you can make with this recipe. Keep it simple or dress it up with sides, either way, you’ll love it.

Ingredient Tips:

Shirataki (meaning “white waterfall”) noodles and rice are made from the Japanese konjac yam, and have very mild to no flavor after being rinsed well. They have been popular in Japan for many years. Now they are also popular for those with allergies or on special diets like “keto” who want to avoid wheat products or foods very high in processed carbohydrates. I use Miracle Noodle brand and keep a couple in the pantry to whip up easy recipes like this fried rice.

Because shirataki noodles are 3% fiber and 97% water, they are very low in carbohydrates and calories (but also low in nutrients). Without the micronutrients or phytochemicals found naturally in whole konjac, the nutrition content of shirataki based meals depends mainly on your toppings. Be sure to load up your dish with healthy fats, quality meat and plenty of veggies.

This is a free-form recipe. Feel free to add a little more or less garlic. Same with the soy sauce, ginger, and sesame oil, though a little goes a long way. Like it spicy? Up the chili flakes. I love my jar of Mother in Law’s Gochugaru Korean Chili Pepper Flakes to bring some heat to my Asian inspired dishes. Some good pairings with this fried rice would be roasted veggies, greens or grilled meat.
