Korean Style Cold Tofu Shirataki Noodle Salad with Shrimp

A tofu shirataki noodle salad with a rainbow of veggies and shrimp in a tasty Korean style dressing that is served chilled; perfect for a hot summer day!

It certainly has been hot the last few days so I thought that it would be a good idea to make a meal that did not require any cooking and that could be served chilled, this Korean style cold tofu shirataki noodle salad with shrimp. This is a noodle based salad and I went with some tofu shirataki noodles to keep things nice and easy (no cooking required!) and light (low calorie and low-carb)! For the veggies in the salad I like to go with a rainbow of colours for a nice presentation and they include green lettuce and cucumber, yellow pepper, orange carrot, red kimchi and purple cabbage. To make this salad a meal you need some meat and pre-cooked shrimp fits the bill perfectly since you don’t need to cook is and it’s already chilled! The final component of the salad in a simple and tasty dressing with gochugaro (Korean chili pepper flakes) for a bit of heat. If you are looking for a way to keep cool on a hot summer day, you can’t go wrong with this Korean style cold tofu shirataki noodle salad with shrimp!

    The colors are absolutely vibrant! I find that shirataki noodles have an unpleasant smell once the package is open, but if I rinse it well and use an assertive sauce, I can enjoy it. I bet your preparation is perfect for it…

    Do you think I could use gochujang in place of the flakes? I've never used either but have an unopened container of gochujang in the cupboard,. If so, would I use the same amount? Thanks.

    Anonymous: Yes you could use gochujang at the same amount. You could also use this gochujang sauce: https://www.closetcooking.com/2008/07/gochujang-dressing.html

    This looks perfect! First time I hear of gochugaro and can't wait to try it- along with all the delicious ingredients you list here. I'm suspecting this will instantly become a favourite!
