If you’re looking for a low-carb diet, or if you’re just trying to cut back on carbs, making your own protein noodles will help you save money and eat healthier.
Protein noodles are made from a variety of ingredients, including eggs, cheese, nuts and seeds. They can be used in place of traditional pasta in virtually any dish.
Low-carbohydrate pasta is available in most grocery stores, but it’s more expensive than regular pasta. You can also make your own low-carbohydrate pasta by replacing some of the flour with ground flaxseed meal.
Here are some tips for making your own protein noodles:
Cook the noodles in boiling water for about 5 to 10 minutes.
Making pasta from scratch is quite possibly the most satisfying thing you can do in the kitchen. It’s also incredibly easy and fun to do, and it’s a great way to impress friends and family.
There are several ways to make pasta dough. You can follow a recipe or simply mix flour, water and salt together by hand. The best method for making pasta at home is to use a mixer with a dough hook attachment, but if you don’t have one, feel free to use your hands instead!
Once the noodles are cooked, they’ll be ready to eat right away or freeze for future meals. To freeze them, spread them out on a baking sheet so they don’t stick together, then place them in freezer bags and store them until needed.
Drain the noodles thoroughly so that all of the excess water is removed.
Shred the zucchini using a food processor or hand shredder. It doesn’t have to be super fine, but do make sure there are no large chunks of zucchini left.
Combine the shredded zucchini with the egg whites and egg yolk in a large bowl. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
In another large bowl, combine the ground chicken, onion powder, garlic powder and salt. Mix well until everything is evenly combined.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with 2 tablespoons of olive oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Once hot, add half of your shredded zucchini mixture to the pan and spread it out evenly so that it covers as much surface area as possible.
Cook for 3 minutes before flipping it over and cooking on the other side for another 3 minutes until browned on both sides and cooked through (no longer squishy). Set aside on a plate while you cook your second batch (if necessary).
Let the noodles cool before placing them in a sealed container.
