This healthy side dish is great, simple, quick and easy to prepare, plus there are virtually no carbs or calories, and it taste good too. You just may be tempted to have more than one serving. My family and I truly enjoyed this dish. This is a great accompaniment to almost any protein entree. You will love how fast it comes together. They come in 3 varieties Rice, Angel Hair, & Fettucini, I am sure you will love being creative using them. Shirataki Noodles will take on the flavor of what ever you add them too. Usually found in the refrigerated section of the produce department.

This dish should serve 8 average portions, the calories per serving is 117, The total fat is 8g, The cholesterol is 11 Mg, & the sodium is 261 Mg, Potassium is 65Mg, and the total carb is 4 g, and fiber is 2g, sugar is 1 g, and Protein 6, and the best part of all if you are counting carbs is that the net carbs is only 2g per serving.
