The Skinny on Shirataki Noodles
Are you a pasta lover struggling to find a low carb alternative? Shirataki noodles may be the answer. These Asian noodlescome in three varieties: white, brown and tofu. Since the white shirataki noodles are made from the konjac plant, a root similar to the yam, these noodles provide a high-fiber, lower carb replacement to the gluten and carb-heavy spaghetti products we know well in the US. For those looking to increase their daily fiber intake, look no further then the brown shirataki noodle. This shirataki comes packed with added calcium and iron for the health-conscious noodle lover. Finally,tofu shirataki noodles contain high concentrations of protein by blending the konjac root with the nutritious soy bean curb of tofu. This yam and tofu noodle works great in sukiyaki dishes or vegetable stir fries.
Cooking shirataki noodles is easy as long as you follow a few initial steps. Before you do anything else, be sure you’ve rinsed the noodles thoroughly. When the noodles are clean, parboil (or partially boil) the noodles in boiling water for two to three minutes – or until the noodles have softened to suit your tastes. Simply add your favorite sauce or include the noodles with a sukiyaki or vegetable stir fry of your choice, and enjoy! Keep in mind that shirataki noodles can be long, so depending on how you’re planning to prepare them, you may want to cut them to more appropriate lengths.
Shirataki’s health benefits are obvious. All of these asian noodle types are vegan-friendly, gluten-free and the closest low carb alternative to the wheat noodle available. If you’ve been holding off that diet because it doesn’t work with your high-carb noodle dishes – look no further than our assorted varieties of shirataki. Asian Food Grocer is your source for shirataki noodles.

Ramen Noodle Tacos
Ingredients
o Beef Ramen (or chicken ramen if you prefer)
o taco seasoning
o 3 taco shells per pack of ramen
o 1 teaspoon butter per pack of ramen
Warm taco shells according to box directions. Cook ramen to preferred softness and drain. Stir in 1 teaspoon of butter per pack of ramen into the warm noodles. Use 1/2 the amount of ramen flavoring you usually like, and then add that same amount of taco seasoning. Heap ramen into warm tacos and enjoy with lettuce and tomatos added to the top.
Lotte Chewing Gum
If chewing gum is not included among your favorite snacks or has never interested your taste buds, Japan’s Lotte gum may have the flavors and variety to change your mind.
Lotte chewing gum has been providing Japanese and Korean ‘chewers’ with a broader – and more unusual array – of gum varieties for over fifty years. Aside from providing those offerings we all know well such as Coolmint, Wintergreen, and Citrus, Lotte gum also comes in Blueberry, Green Tea and Melon.
Looking for more out of your chewing gum? Check out Lotte’s Black Black gum. This intense flavored mint gum comes packed with ginseng, oolong tea extract, b3 vitamins and an added boost of caffeine. For the adventurous gum enthusiast, check out Lotte’s Lycee flavored product.
Lotte gums have a unique texture and intensity. What a great alternative to the minty (ho hum) Western chewing experiences we’re familiar with! Lotte’s gum is also made with all natural products.
Shrimp Chips
It isn’t easy to pick 10 favorites out of all the Japanese snacks out there. Walking down the Asian food store aisle, it seems like every colorful package is crying out, “pick me, pick me.” No offense to all the other Japanese snacks, but shrimp chips (sometimes called prawn crackers) take number seven in our favorite Asian foods countdown. Crunchy, cute, and super addictive, shrimp chips are the triple threat of Japanese snacks.
Made from deep-fried flattened out prawns, these Japanese snacks can be found in Asian food stores across the U.S. Most Asian food stores carry pre-cooked shrimp chips (similar to potato chips) and translucent disk-shaped shrimp chips that must be deep fried before serving. If you are new to shrimp chips and would rather not dirty your frying pan, start with pre-cooked. Expect a subtle shrimp flavor and light, crispy texture.
When you buy shrimp chips, keep them crunchy. Don’t let them sit in a partially opened bag or they’ll quickly turn stale. Put some in a bowl and close the bag with a shrimp chip-clip (cute) or eat them all at once. Be warned, shrimp chips are super addictive and you can go through a whole bag in one sitting. Especially when watching “Iron Chef.”
Golden Curry
If only there was an awards ceremony for the best Asian foods! Since we’ll probably never get to see Pocky walk down the red carpet, we created our own weekly countdown. The number nine slot goes to the ultimate Japanese comfort food: Golden Curry.
Because it is relatively easy to make, Golden Curry is like the mac-and-cheese of Japan. It is thicker, milder, and sweeter than Indian curry. The Japanese add it to many meat and vegetable dishes and commonly serve it over rice.
In the U.S., Golden Curry can be found at many Asian food stores; S&B Foods Inc. makes the most popular kind. In an effort to capture the fun flavor of curry, Japan introduced a curry spokesperson — Curry Man, who now spices things up in the ring as an American wrestler. Yes, that’s a plate on his head.
