Has anyone tried these? They're very low carb - I saw them discussed on TV today. Apparently you "love or hate" them. I haven't seen them in the stores, but may try to find some.
Well, I tried it, and it's rather tasteless (except it really smells before being rinsed and boiled). And the texture is more slimy than a regular noodle. I admit I didn't try any type of unique recipe. I boiled it in water (vs broth or stock), and then added butter and parmesan.
Had I cooked it in a broth and then added mushrooms or basil or something with more flavor, it might have been better. But I don't think this is an option for me. I was hoping it might serve as a good substitute pasta, which is too high in carbs for me. I guess when I must have pasta, I'll just have the whole grain version.
They are good if you know how to cook them. Rinse rinse rinse!!!
I use them in place of spaghetti. No/low carb dieters use them often. You have to acquire a taste for them. I want to say the texture is like rubberbands. It kind of is, but it's not like that when you chew them.
They are only $.99 to a $1.25 a bag, so worth the price so explore a little and try them out. I used to buy them at the Asian Market, but now they are in Sprouts. They now have a few shapes (fine, angel hair/fettuccini).

I like the taste. Miracle Noodles, I buy by the case. Anything you can use regular pasta in, you can use these. they take on the flavor they are cooked with. I don't find that they smell, but do rinse them.
WHEAT AND GLUTEN FREE 8 oz package, 2 servings, 20 calories per serving, .05 fat, 1 gram of protein 3 total carbs 2 of those are fiber, 1 net carb per serving. Once you receive them, refrigerate. Before cooking, drain the noodles and run under water for a minute then put in boiling water for about 3 minutes then put favorite sauce and toppings on the noodles. Also great in soups. Remember, these noodles are the real deal, they may be a little more expensive than the competitors non-tofu shirataki noodles but your taste buds will thank you for it because they do not have the rubbery texture like every other kind of Shirataki noodles..
I love them! Like posted several times, rinse them well. I heat them for 2 minutes and make a shrimp scampi mixture and blend together. I do add salt and garlic granules to the noodles (they are like Tofu, they take on the seasonings you use). I use high grade pink himalayan salt and organic garlic granules. For the shrimp, I braise (braise=let the water (1T), lemon juice (1T) & garlic (1/8t) reduce til all gone and the pan turns brown about 5 minutes, add back 1-2 Tablespoons of water, shut off heat and coat the shrimp with liquid mixture). I do NOT use any oil. This is an EXTREMELY low calorie meal. 5 Calories for the noodles and 120 calories for 100g of shrimp (about 10-12 large).
For a total of 125 Calories and you WILL be full. I got this from the HCG diet food choices and it is an awesomely delicious diet food.
