Low Carb Cold Spicy Peanut Shirataki Noodles
This is a favorite meal in my house! The dressing is so addictive and the shirataki noodles taste exactly like wheat noodles! The herbs on top of the bowls makes everything so fresh and the bean sprouts give everything crunch. Be sure to grab a variety of bell peppers if you want lots of colors! Place noodles in the fridge before you are ready to serve so they are chilled. I love this dish because it can be prepped ahead of time! I also used Thai basil for this which has a more authentic taste for this dish than Italian basil. For the soy sauce use tamari if wheat is an issue.
