I read all this great stuff about shirataki noodles on here so today I
checked into one of the local health food stores and they had it!! I got 2
packs, one is skinny round noodles - spaghetti-ish, and the other is
fettucine style. They were $1.49 a pack. So - I am excited to go find that
other thread and try a few things. I am thinking of a chicken/fettucine
alfredo type of dish and the skinny noodles will go into a soup :o)

they didn't have the instone pudding though. i'll try GNC for that,

Here's hoping you're still saying YIPPEE after you eat them! THe soup
is a better bet than alfredo sauce, for my money, particularly an Asian
style soup. And rinse them very well to get rid of the awful smell, it
goes away completely with rinsing.

Bon apetit!

Shirataki will absorb any flavor you cook it in. :-)
It's very versatile, but also very chewy.

And that's ok...... <G>

Be sure to post results! I'm always interested in ways to use it.

Agreed!

I use a screen strainer and rinse well.
It has a sort of Sulphur smeel. ;-p

They are NOT slimy, but they have an odor initially when you first open
the packet.

Dump them into a strainer and rinse, the smell goes away.

It's well worth it. Trust us.

What I do is rinse the noodles, add store brand "oriental vegetables"
(canned, baby corn, etc. no salt added) and then add soemthing like
canned clams. Otherwise, I use them in a soup broth.

Hungry Girl has some recipes as well, but I have not tried them:

(I imagine the Walden Farms alfredo would work as well)

I LOVE them with alfredo sauce! Different strokes, I guess :-)

One thing I've started doing with them is to cut them with scissors
before rinsing (which they are still fairly clumped together. They stay
on the spoon better that way :-)

The smell rinses out fairly well. It's a seaweedy-type smell. If you
have it in a sauce or soup, you probably would't notice it at all, even
if you DIDN'T rinse them (but you SHOULD rinse them).

I just discovered kelp noodles myself. There's one gram of carb per
serving, and one gram of carb. I tried it with some pasta sauce and
ground meat, and it was pretty good. It absorbed the tomato flavor
really well, although the texture is a bit mushy. It doesn't have any
odor.

Agreed! Shirataki breaks the stunk is junk rule. To spite new cook's
efforts, the spice rack holds no deodorant. Thankfully, it is not necessary
here. Theese noodles are not slimy. They share the bite and flavor assuming
quality of canned soup noodles. Try to cook with broth, asian sauces,
pre-cooked meats, and asian vegetables. I intend to attempt chicken alrfedo
soon.

I think they are kind of slimy, though a quick parcooking makes the
texture alomst tolerable to me.

Well, I'll concede that without finger nails I'd be unable to retrieve one
from the floor. I just think of them as wet, but they are not ever sticky
like spaghetti.

These noodles can be found at Asian markets as well. I've been eating this
(or a similar noodle) all my life.

Tonite my mother maid an egg drop soup with onions and mushrooms. We rinsed
the yam noodles and put the boiling soup over it. I added a small handful
of spinach leaves. It was delish.

I haven't tried the kelp version, but the thought of using it with any type
of alfredo sauce seems icky! I'll most probably do another asian style
soup.
