Skinny #SundaySupper is the title of this week’s Twitter event on February 17th at 7pm ET. (Hit the hashtag # sign and type in SundaySupper.) Instead of chats about the best uses of butter and heavy cream, the discussion will revolve around calorie-cutting dishes.

As a former model, I have a few tricks up my sleeve. Not necessarily healthy ones…Coffee, hard boiled eggs, and celery sticks. Followed by no eating if boxes of brownies had been consumed the night before. Zero-calorie boiled konyaku (a root plant), which looks like grey jelly was also a regular part of the regime.

The Ninja Baker modeling in Japan...a few moons ago. 

Shirataki noodles are more commonly used and known derivatives of konyaku in the US. Still, not very nutritious as a single dish. So, I’m contributing The Ninja Baker’s Sake & Miso Salmon to the Skinny #SundaySupper with the shirataki noodles as a meal’s costar, not the star. The calorie count is still low. On top of that, the salmon is delicious and satisfying. If fish turns your stomach, scroll down and see other slimming recipes offered by stellar #SundaySupper food bloggers.

Sake & Miso Salmon is the star of the supper.
Shirataki when flavored with a bit of soy sauce and fresh ginger is a good costar.
 

The Ninja Baker’s Sake & Miso Salmon

Ingredients:

• 2 salmon fillets (approximately 4 ounces each)
• 4 tablespoons of sake wine
• 1 ½ - 2 tablespoons of miso paste
• 2 tablespoons of soy sauce (1 for cooking and 1 for the final drizzle)
• Calorie-free cooking spray (Olive oil, if you want a healthier option)

Directions:
1. Spray a cooking pan.
2. Place the 4 tablespoons of sake, 1 tablespoon of the miso and soy sauce into the pan. 
3. Stir the above ingredients and turn the stove flame to medium-low.
4. Add the salmon fillets.
5. Fry on each side for about 5 to 6 minutes (depending on the size of the fish.)
6. Remove and place on a paper towel, patting off any excess liquid.
7. Place the fish on a microwavable plate.
8. Slather the fillet tops with the additional ½ or 1 tablespoon miso paste. (A little goes along way so use according to taste.)
9. Microwave on high for 1 minute. Make sure the fish is covered with a paper towel.
10. Drizzle with soy sauce.

Zero-calorie Shirataki Noodles

Shirataki How-To

Ingredients:

• Shirataki noodles
• Soy sauce
• Fresh ginger

1. Drain the shirataki noodles in cold water.
2. Boil the noodles
3. Drain the hot noodles
4. Serve with soy sauce and a little grated fresh ginger
(The contrast of the sweet noodles and the tangy ginger is great.
However, you will need only a tiny bit of ginger to get the zing.)
