Ingredients
- 400 grams Shirataki noodles (spaghetti style)
- 2 teaspoons Matcha green tea powder
- 2 tablespoons Avocado oil
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce (gluten-free, low sodium)
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 3 Green onions, thinly sliced
- 100 grams Baby spinach
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the shirataki noodles as per package instructions: rinse thoroughly under cold water and boil for 2-3 minutes to reduce the natural odor, then drain well and set aside.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together the matcha green tea powder and a tablespoon of hot water to create a smooth paste. Adjust with additional water if needed to reach a smooth pouring consistency.
Step 3
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat and add the avocado oil.
Step 4
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
Step 5
Stir in the soy sauce, sesame oil, and the matcha paste, combining everything well.
Step 6
Add the prepared shirataki noodles to the skillet, stirring to coat them evenly with the sauce. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the noodles to absorb the flavors.
Step 7
Toss in the baby spinach, green onions, and sesame seeds, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until the spinach wilts slightly.
Step 8
Season the noodles with salt and black pepper, tasting and adjusting if necessary.
Step 9
Remove from heat and serve immediately, garnishing with additional sesame seeds if desired.
