Japchae easy recipe using Shirataki|KETO, SIBO, Candida diet
First of all, let me introduce the ingredients that I am using for this recipe. Even though some of the ingredients are from Asia, these are available on Amazon nowadays.
Ingredients
Soy sauce
>>>Ohsawa Organic Tamari, Gluten-Free
Tamari soy sauce is commonly gluten-free and contains 1 gram of carbs per table spoon. I used to use normal Kikkoman-soy sauce, but this tamari soy sauce is good alternative for your health.
Shirataki Tofu
>>> House Foods, Noodle Tofu Shirataki Spaghetti
I recently found this product as an alternative of Shirataki. Shirataki is Japanese low-carb pasta, but is quite hard to find in a normal supermarket. I would say the texture of this product is too soggy compared with Italian pasta, but is a great alternative for Japanese shirataki.
>>>Miracle Noodle Fettuccine Pasta – Plant Based Shirataki
This is normal Shirataki. This product is also KETO, and can be used for this recipe as well.
Chili Bean Sauce
This is my favorite sauce.
This is Chinese Sichuan style chili sauce. It is great for many spicy dishes!
Whole Earth (Sugar alternative)
Whole Earth is made of Stevia and Monk Fruit and has no calories. It is a great choice for sweetening food! I am literary using this for everything as sugar alternative.
Japanese sake
>>> Kikkoman Ryorishi Cooking Sake
Sake is Japanese alcohol, and is one of the basic ingredients for many of Japanese dishes. There are not so many selections for Sake. I am usually using this Kikkoman Sake.
Enjoy!
