Tofu shirataki "noodles" are made from konjac root and soy. The whole package, which is the amount you see in the picture, has 2 grams of net carbs, 4 grams of fiber, and 3 grams of protein., 20 kcal. You can also get plain shirataki or konjac "pasta" that's made from only konjac and it has 0 carbs and zero calories. Konjac is a prebiotic fiber so it's beneficial to the gut biome. If I wanted to lose weight, I'd certainly incorporate shirataki into my meal plan because it allows adding bulk to your food with very few calories and very few or no carbs. Even after losing weight, you may want to continue eating shirataki for its prebiotic fiber content.

I like to pan-fry shirataki in very little oil/butter to dry them out. That makes them more palatable as the product itself has zero taste and is rather wet if you don't get some of the moisture out. Adding chopped onion, garlic, and some herbs and spices further helps with the taste. Or, marinara or a sauce works well with shirataki.



I made the original 1930's Chef Boyardee tomato sauce. I got the recipe from one of Max Miller's videos on his YT channel Tasting History with Max Miller. It's a tomato sauce made with tomatoes, beef, onions, carrots, mushrooms, salt, pepper, and a few basil leaves. It's quite good and not to be confused with the canned Boyardee products. Chef Boyardee was actually an Italian-born chef who ran a restaurant and during the Depression expanded into canned food and meal kits that were affordable.

Shirataki "noodles" with fried chicken, mushrooms, green onion, and homemade Chef Boyardee tomato sauce. I sprinkled scallion and hair.

That might last longer than 12 hours and require a call to the MD

IF you follow my spoof on a little blue pill
Caffeine+ silica do t sound tasty. I’ll stick with unflavored ISOPIRE protein powder. Could care less if 18FAN approves of dog walking too 🤣🤣🤣
 
Griddled burgers and mushrooms cooked in teriyaki sauce. Amazing. Dad not big on teriyaki so got him some mushrooms and cooked them up but he wouldn’t eat them because they were on the same grill as the teriyaki ones so we just tossed those. I even grilled them on the other side. Mad because I wasted $6 on those separate mushrooms for him. I cooked them on the opposite side too. I honestly think it’s just because I cooked them because he always acts weird when I cook things. He nibbled on the burgers too. But everything tastes fine though so don’t know what the problem is.
