Yam noodles (shirataki)
These are made from yam cakes that have a
tougher, gelatinous consistency and have
little nutritional value. If using canned
yam noodles, drain well and parboil before
cooking. When simmering with meat, make sure
not to put the two next to each other because
the noodles release calcium ions that will
toughen meat. Yam noodles are used in sukiyaki
and simmered dishes. |
