Low-Calorie Comfort Food: Shirataki Noodles with Tofu Kofta

Food blogger Adhya S recently tried shirataki noodles for the first time and she's now officially a fan. Known for being low in calories and carbs, these noodles are perfect for anyone looking for a light yet satisfying meal. Her latest creation? A Spicy Tofu Kofta Noodle Bowl packed with flavor, crunch, and a creamy peanut-chilli kick. At just 280 kcal per serving, it's a comfort dish you'll want to make again and again.

Ingredients:

• 1 packet shirataki noodles
• Tofu kofta
• 150g tofu ( make sure to squeeze out the excess water )
• 4 green beans chopped
• 1/2 carrot chopped
• 2 tbsp spring onion chopped
• 4-5 garlic chopped
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp siracha sauce
• 1 tbsp corn flour / arrowroot powder
• Salt as per taste
• 1/4tsp pepper

Sauce:
 

• 1 tbsp peanut butter
• 1 tsp soy sauce
• 2 cloves of garlic
• 1 inch ginger
• Salt as per taste
• 3-4 soaked dry red chillies
• 1 tsp honey

How to Make the Shirataki Noodles Tofu Kofta

Mix all the tofu kofta ingredients in a bowl. Make small balls out of the mixture. Heat some oil in a pan and fry the koftas till golden brown and cooked through — crispy on the outside and soft inside. Place all the sauce ingredients in a blender along with a little water and blend until smooth. It's spicy, creamy, and a perfect combination of sweet and savory. Drain the noodles very well and sauté them in a hot pan with a little oil for 2 minutes. Pour in the sauce and let everything simmer so the noodles can absorb that delicious flavor.
