Preparation

Step 1

Use a strainer to rinse and drain the shirataki noodles well. Pat dry.

Place in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave 1 minute. Dry as thoroughly as possible, using paper towels. Cut noodles up a bit, using kitchen shears or a knife.

Add cheese wedge, grated topping, and sour cream, breaking the cheese wedge into pieces as you add it. Microwave for 1 minute.

Stir well and then season with salt and pepper. Garnish with parsley and additional grated topping and serve with broccoli, if using. Enjoy!

Cook's Note: Alternatively, recipe can be prepared in a skillet on the stove, over medium-high heat, until hot and well mixed.
