In a separate bowl of hot water the shirataki noodles were added and cooked for about 2 minutes before removing and tossing with sesame oil. These were then placed into the ramen bowls.

Once everything was finished the meatballs were split evenly between both and the broth and vegetables were added. The bowl was then topped with scallion greens.

The bowl:


Potato starch was a great stand in for the panko crumbs in this dish. The meatballs doubled in size during cooking and held shape very well.
