The miracle noodle is also called shirataki, meaning white waterfall, because they are composed mainly of glucomannan and water.
These noodles are made of a type of plant called konjac that is grown in Asia and has been used for centuries in Eastern diets. It’s gluten-free, has low calories, contains no preservatives, and can be boiled quickly.
You can serve them with any sauce(red, white, or pesto) of your choice and steamed vegetables!

Use Organic Ingredients
Note: I use organic ingredients and grass-fed meats as much as possible. This way, I can get beneficial nutrients and avoid harmful pesticides, hormones, and chemicals that affect our thyroid and health in general.
Preparation
- Use a strainer to discard the water and transfer the miracle noodles to a hot pot.
- Pour 1 tablespoon of avocado oil and fry the ground beef and chicken separately in a skillet at low temperature. Transfer the ingredients to a plate.
- Add the onions and cook for 3 minutes.
- Pour the tomato sauce into a big pot and transfer the cooked meat, chicken, and onion mix from the frying pan.
