How to Prepare Shiratake Noodles

This is how I prepare Shiratake Noodles to be used in various recipes.

1-Open the bag of noodles and pour in a colander.
2-Rinse under cold water for about 20-30 seconds. As you are rinsing, move the noodles around and separate them with your fingers until they are loose.
3-Use kitchen scissors and cut the noodles in about 4 pieces as you are putting them into a pan.
4-Dry them in a very hot pan over high heat for about 5-8 minutes, flipping them every couple minutes.
5-Add ingredients as you normally would to any other noodle.

Radish "Potato" Pancakes

Ingredients:
About 20 medium size radish's (grated)(you can also use 2 grated yellow squash)
1 egg
1/4 grated parmesan cheese
1/4 cheddar chese
1/4 peanut oil (for frying)
1/4tsp pepper

Grate the radish's (or squash, this pic is with the squash) and add all ingredients except peanut oil. This is what mine looked like at this point:


Mix well and form round patties, it should make about 6-8. (if you use squash it will make 8-10). Next heat oil in a pan until very hot, and add 4 of the patties, fry until golden brown.


Let cool and enjoy! They are great with LC ketchup.

Zucchini "Pasta" Bake

Ingredients:

5 lean turkey bratwurst links
2 cups sliced zucchini (about 3 whole)
2 cups sliced asparagus
2 cups sliced mushrooms
1 clove garlic
4oz softened cream cheese
1.5 cups 5 cheese italian blend (or mozzarella)
1/2 cup grated parmesan (in a can)
1tbsp olive oil

First, get a pan hot, add 1tbsp of olive oil. Cut the bratwurst at a diagonal into about 5-6 pieces, and add to the pan. While the turkey is browning, cut the zucchini in half, then in half again (4 pieces), and then cut into penne pasta size bites. Cut the asparagus into this size as well. I just bought and measured out 2 cups of sliced mushrooms.

After the turkey has browned, add the vegetables and garlic and cook for about 10 minutes, or until they start to get soft. Then add the cream cheese, 1 cup of shredded cheese, and 1/4 cup parmesan and mix well until cheese melts. Place in a baking dish and top with the remaining shredded and parmesan cheese. Bake at 350* for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese gets brown and bubbly. Makes 8 servings.
