Fat-Burning Malatang

This diet-friendly, healthy Malatang minimizes oil and swaps glass noodles for shirataki (konjac noodles) to dramatically reduce calories. It is a satisfying bowl that perfectly balances the savory flavor of chicken meatballs, the richness of soy milk, and the numbing heat of Sichuan peppercorns. Chef's tips: (1) 💡 Stir-frying the doubanjiang well in the oil first activates the capsaicin, which highlights the spiciness while creating a milder, more rounded flavor. (2) ⚠️ The foam and scum that rise to the surface of the soup are natural umami components from the vegetables and meat; leaving them in while simmering results in a richer, deeper soup. (3) ✨ Washing the shirataki thoroughly with warm or hot water is an effective way to remove the unique odor of the coagulant. (4) 👥 If you are not fond of spicy food, try reducing the amount of doubanjiang and supplementing the richness with a small amount of miso paste.
