The secret to getting them to work right is to rinse well and get them as dry as possible before using. Stir well at 1 hour into the cooking and check the texture. Turns out, I just wasn’t preparing them correctly. Dump 2 cups milk, 1 cup standard (not whole wheat or other non-standard) macaroni, ½ teaspoon dry mustard, ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon each of pepper, garlic powder, and paprika, and l tablespoon butter into a slow cooker. They have a fishy odor right out of the package and can be rubbery if not cooked right. Stir vigorously until all cheese is melted together and well mixed. When I first tried shirataki noodles over five years ago, I couldn’t stand them. Add cream cheese and cook low till melted- be careful not to burn. This time, I have redone my lower carb macaroni and cheese recipe into a shiratake noodle macaroni and cheese. I already redid the chili macaroni recipe into a chili cheese stuffed spaghetti squash. I’ve gradually been reworking those recipes. When the news came out about the high carb pasta being marketed as low carb, I had already posted several recipes using the product. If your pasta isn’t done once all of this liquid cooks off, you can add a little bit more.
It’s almost impossible to get that pasta taste and texture without impacting carbs. Choose the right amount of liquid: I found success with 3 cups of liquid (1 1/2 cups of milk and 1 1/2 cups of water) for boiling my pasta. I don’t know about you, but I was so disappointed when I discovered that Dreamfields pasta was misleading everyone about the effective carbs in the product.Ī part of me knew it had to be too good to be true.
