Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / May 2006Shirataki YIPPEE
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, > 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!!

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!

Dump them into a strainer and rinse, the smell goes away. It's well worth it. Trust us. SignaturePeace!

Trust us. just trying to decide what to do with them now!! I have a steak marinating to grill if the sky doesn't open up as predicted!

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).

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.

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.

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 :-) SignatureSaffire 205/140/135-140 (aka JUST RIGHT!)

And that's ok...... <G> Be sure to post results! I'm always interested in ways to use it. SignaturePeace!

I got 2 [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > they didn't have the instone pudding though. i'll try GNC for that, 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: http://hungry-girl.com/week/weeklydetails.php?isid=621 (I imagine the Walden Farms alfredo would work as well) Signaturejmk in NC >> 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'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. ~Carol Ann 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. Naomi |
