I'm always on the lookout for tasty low carb versions of pasta, noodles and spaghetti – check out my list of low carb spaghetti alternatives – it includes noodles made from zucchini, eggplant, hearts of palm, and more! 
So when I saw some noodles made from KELP on Amazon (I bought the Gold Mine brand) I just had to try them!
They are gluten free, don't require any cooking, and contain only 1g net carb in a 4 oz serving (four servings in a pack).
These kelp noodles are definitely an odd texture – crunchy but not slimy at all. The taste is very mild – maybe a vague hint of seaweed to them? But nothing unpleasant.
I decided to make a very simple sesame sauce to go with the kelp noodles – the whole dish comes together VERY quickly!
How to Make Low Carb Sesame Noodles
Rinse the kelp noodles and set aside. In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce (or tamari), rice wine vinegar, garlic paste and ginger paste.
Add some sesame oil to a large skillet and place over a low-medium heat, then add the noodles and sauce. Cook for 4-5 minutes or until most of the liquid has been absorbed. Add some chopped green onions for the last minute.
Toss in some sesame seeds, then serve, garnished with cilantro.
These low carb sesame noodles are great for a side dish – or you could add some cooked chicken, shrimp, mushrooms, or whatever you like and make them into a delicious entree!
You can buy Kelp Noodles from Amazon (Gold Mine brand) or Netrition (Sea Tangle brand)
