Regarding shiritaki noodles

I know these noodles are a "love em or hate em" food.
But for those of you who like them, I recently discovered that if you crack an egg into the skillet while you're dry frying them, the egg sticks to them, and any and all sauces you add stick better too. My favorite is: noodles, 1 egg, ham or prosciutto, spinach, a few tiny tomatoes, and pesto. The pesto sticks to the noodles so much better with egg on them. cheers

Not the most appetizing, but yummy and super filling! I forgot the cherry tomatoes, however.

Good to know, I just ordered a new kind of these on a trial mail membership thing.

Mmmm. YES! I always had trouble with the pesto not sticking properly to the 'pasta.' That's why I only did pesto with the Explore Asian edamame pasta. This will give me another choice. Thx

Not true noodles, but I had Zeroodles fried 'Rice' lastnight. Was yummy and very filling.4

We had something else instead. I’ll make it soon.1 -
Good to know, thank you! I do like them but don't often get around to cooking them. (There's a package of them in my produce drawer right now that's been there for a while, now that I think of it!)0

They should be good food for our gut microbiome.

I like to use these in either a lo mein or Singapore noodle dish. I dry fry them after rinsing to remove any lingering smell.2
-
Finally made them. Sautéed in ground beef fat with an egg, then added cooked beef, a teensy bit of tomato sauce and some Parmesan cheese. They were ok, but I can’t get over the gelatinous mouth feel. Don’t think I’ll make them again. I’ll see if hubs likes them cause I have another package.2 -
@GammieLCHF I definitely think they work better for Asian-style dishes than more Italian/pasta-style, if you want to give them another shot.3

I've looked and have never seen them in the grocery store. They're refrigerated right?1

The ones I buy are not refrigerated. Usually with the international foods in my supermarket.1

I've tried a brand called Pasta Zero and they are in the refrigerated section. Though I'm sure stores can be different on their planograms, every store I shop in (that carries the Pasta Zero brand) has them in their refrigerated produce section in the same general vicinity as tofu, veggie hot dogs, vegan cheese, etc.3 -
https://www.gnom-gnom.com/paleo-keto-pad-thai-shirataki-noodles/ I like Shirataki noodles prepared in a Japanese way. But this Pad Thai is good. I get mine at Asian Super Markets in the cooler.5

https://cookingontheweekends.com/chicken-shirataki-noodle-recipe/ This is similar to how I would use it. I also like cooking in Dashi (https://lowcarbingasian.com/japanese-chicken-udon-with-shirataki-noodles/) Really, google it! So many delish ways to indulge in this amazing no cal noodles.3

I prefer them as rice. Works with all my Asian dishes along with Mexican ones. I prefer just doing zoodles to the thicker noodles. They are perfect for all the Italian dishes we make.4

Pasta Zero at two area WalMarts is right next to the Tofu. No one at WM has ever heard of Pasta Zero but can walk you right to the tofu.
I do the typical male prep. 1. Get the bowl I am going to eat out of and fill it with hot tap water and leave it run slow. 2. Toss in a sealed bag of Pasta Zero from the frig. Put 8 oz of On The Border Mild Chunky Salsa in the microwave for 71 seconds so it ends up at the door where I put it in the microwave. 3. While it is cooking I slit the warm bag halfway across the top and pour out the water then refill with hot tap water and drain twice. 4. I dump the hot water out of the bowl and rip open the bag of Pasta Zero and dump it as one clump into the bowl I am going to eat it out of. 5. With a knife and fork I cut it both ways so it is all little cubes. 6. Dump salsa on top and stir. 7. Dive in face first and ENJOY. 8. Rinse off everything and stick in back into the dishwasher until hungry for it again.4 -

LOL. Love your method. I have read so much about how bad these shiratake noodles smell that I was never willing to try them. One day when I was eating strict keto, I saw the Pasta Zero and purchased a bag. I was amazed that it didn't have to be heavily rinsed, dry fried, etc. More amazed that it didn't have a noticeable unpleasant smell (to me). I'm not really a huge fan but if someone wants a pasta substitute, I recommend Pasta Zero. The texture is a bit rubbery and they really have no taste which is likely a good thing because it allows them to pick up the flavor of whatever is added.3 -
Most shirataki info I think I have seen in one article.

I like the skinny ramen sized noodles more so than the fatter fettuccini style...the texture is different...I rinse them like crazy and then either heat them in the sauce, or in a skillet, or in a broth depending on what I'm making.4
-
Great idea! I love these things. I usually let mine simmer in a pot of sauce for about an hour so they absorb the flavour.
The only thing that was off putting at first was the smell. I just make sure I rinse them well.2 -
