Note I did not use kelp noodles…can’t find in my area. I can get Monaco noodles…they would be fine in this recipe but I didnyhave on hand. I served my husband’s with spaghetti and ate mine without noodles.
Recipe is utterly delicious. Colorful, so many different flavors going on in your mouth….coconut , peanut, lime, onions, cilantro….just bursting with flavor.
A keeper!

Yes! That does make sense. Thanks for the information. 🙂 I gathered by what you said in your blog post that they were different than shirataki noodles. But I disliked those so much that I didn’t want to fork the money out to try these unless I thought they stood a chance of being "better." I used the shirataki noodles in a beef dish with a peanut sauce but they were just… wrong. I think I’ll definitely give this recipe a try and save my alfredo sauce for zoodles. 🙂

Hi Heather, I would describe them as very very different than shirataki noodles, but … equally as bizarre. Whereas shirataki noodles are slightly fishy and kind of strange and rubbery, these a bit tart, very crunchy, salty and a little bit bitter. I think they really need to be seen as something different than typical Western style grain based pastas. They’re both different tastes and textures and would be very bizarre under Alfredo Sauce or Marinara and Meatballs. HOWEVER, both lend themselves very well to stronger Asian flavors, like ginger and soy or fish sauce … and bright crunchy textures like lightly cooked vegetables. Throwing a bunch of shrimp or pork into the mix is excellent, as well. In a dish like this … they are wonderful and perfectly matched and I think you’d like it. However … if you tossed these with a pesto cream sauce and a chicken breast … I think you’d be pretty upset … Does this make sense?

Are kelp noodles any better than shirataki noodles? I tried those a few times and just couldn’t do it.

I would think just about any of the more strongly flavored noodle preparations would go really well with this. Many do enjoy them just raw, with veggies. I can envision that and suspect it would be tasty, but … I’m not that evolved, just yet … still working on it! 😉 This is a tasty one, to be sure. Please let me know what you think of the noodles. The texture straight out of the bag made me nervous, but … once they were in the bowl with the rest of the ingredients … all nervousness had disappeared. Enjoy!

This is so timely! I had ordered some and had no idea what to do with them. Now I do! Thanks.
