    Reporting back: bought the noodles and OMG they are excellent. I made Pad Thai last night for dinner and they were a big hit! Thanks for the hookup, OP!

    These noodles are an answer to a pasta lovers dream. Make sure you rinse them well, then dry them with a paper towel really well. I use a hot cast iron frying pan and get it hot , then throw them in... They bounce around the pan and dry out a little so they aren't slimy, then I take them out, and proceed with how I am going to use them...

    Sometimes I use pasta sauce, with and without meat, turkey (meatballs), etc.

    Sometimes I chop veggies (I use broccoli, onions, carrots, celery, bok choy, peppers, peapods, zucchini etc) and cook them in the pan with some cooking spray or a little water, then I add my spices...

    Sometimes I add in a half cup of water, and a couple of packets of Herb Ox Sodium Free chicken or beef bouillon granules to flavor up everything. (They have no salt and are a good salt free base for soups, rice, stir fries etc... You can find the boxes, (I think beef is a red box ,and the chicken is a green box), in where the bouillon cubes and dry soup mixes are, or just ask a clerk. Every major grocery store has them and they are great)

    Sometimes I add garlic and onion powder... Sometimes I add to that red pepper flakes, sriracha or cayenne, for a little heat... I add salt and pepper, to taste, and then add in the noodles in and stir well...

    You can add in low sodium soy sauce, or any other sauces you like...

    You can add in beef, chicken, shrimp, other seafood, pork etc. Make it your own with the ingredients you like...

    Then your ready to plate and enjoy!

    Most large grocery stores have the noodles too... They are found where the soy meat products, won ton wrappers, and tofu are found... The brand name I use is Shirataki... They are tofu noodes... I love them!!!

    Here's another post on the noodles...

    I love shirataki... but not for some diet thing, but just because it's really yummy in hotpot!
    This sorcery of calling it some low cal magic is so interesting.. it's on of my (Japanese) boyfriend's favourite things!

    You guys should try out Konnyaku as well - it's made of the same stuff as shirataki noodles (devils root) but is in a kid of cube form... really nice when cooked slowly in oden (type of hot pot) with cabbage and other veggies :)

    Hi! I want to try this recipe. I have a question for you, though. I am really not a fan of Splenda. What amount of white sugar do you think would be used instead? I realize sugar adds calories/carbs, but I still prefer the real thing. Your thoughts?

    Splenda is teaspoon for teaspoon the same as sugar ,so you would use the same amount of sugar... Just taste it as you go.. You can always add, but you can't take it out if you put too much to begin with

    I plan on using real sugar (probably brown sugar), but half the amount called for here (so 2 TB) and definitely keeping it at 2 TB of lime juice.
