I think those are the Tofu noodles? If so, I just made them for the first time last night. Use them in a stir fry...put in some sauce (I found a good Teryaki sauce) and add meat, veggies and noodles. VERY good! :bigsmile:0

They are a great substitute for noodles! Very low calorie!
I eat the whole bag (40 cal)!
I would recommend rinsing them very well and draining them to get rid of as much water as you can. I just warm them in a pan (with some cooking spray) and add some pasta sauce and veggies! Nom Nom!!0 -

I got a Hungry Girl cookbook that uses these noodles. Where can I buy them? I'm in a smaller area. Walmart/Sams Club/County Market are my food stores.0

Do you know where she bought these and where I can get some?0 -
I am in a smaller market area too. I have to go to the bigger city and I find them at Whole Foods or any natural food market.0

I find them over by the organic, soy and tofu isles.
I always boil them after rinsing, it helps to get rid of more of that funny smell from the packaging!0 -
Hi.
You can find them in major supermarkets...depending where you live. Walmart doesn't have them. I found them in Publix here. Mine were $2.39 a bag.
You can also get them in any Asian supermarket as well.
And also online...but they are a little pricey.

I thought they were disgusting. Not necessarily the taste, but the texture. Too rubbery for my palette. I made a shrimp alfredo (using the hungry girl recipe) and had to force myself to eat all of it. eeeewwwww... I've heard a lot of people love them, but some don't because of my reason.0

I have never tried them. A friend of mine said that they were like eating "stinky rubber bands". Please tell us what you think after you try them. I am curious.0

She bought them at Whole Foods they are in the refridgerated (sp?) section.0 -
okay, so I've seen these on hungry girl for years now, i finally found them in the store, so excited, i buy them, attempt to make them, first off, the directions are weird. they smell like fish. gross. the directions were confusing. i don't think i cooked them long enough. they have a weird texture. ended up eating everything else that was around them and threw the rest in the garbage. i now have 2 more packages in the fridge.
any suggestions?0 -

TOTALLY AGREE!0 -
I just tried these for the first time today. I fixed them last night and this is what I did:
Open the package and pour into a collander. Rinse VERY well. Put into a saucepot and cover with cold water. Boil for about 2 min. Drain and return to pot. Continually stir over med-high to high heat until all water is evaporated. I then made me a simple tomato sauce with herbs and poured over noodles. I let them sit in the refridgerator (sp?) overnight and today for lunch I warmed them up and added about a cup of broccoli florets and some steamed shrimp. Very good. The noodles do have a bite to them, but they didn't taste bad at all. I was actually afraid to try them after I bought them because of all the bad reviews they got. But I was pleasantly surprised. I ate the whole package too!0 -
I am going to try to do something with them this weekend I will et yall know how it goes.0

I agree! Rine very well, then boil them in a pan for a few minutes. Boiling might help with the "rubberband" texture. I put some "light Alfredo" sauce on mine with brocolli and or zuccini and mushrooms and sprinkled with a little parmesan and it was Yumo!0 -
I get mine at a Japanese grocery where they carry two distinct kinds: a sort of brownish flecked one that definitely has a bit of a fishy taste, but also a white one that has no discernable taste at all.
I agree that the texture can be a bit odd (but then, the Japanese have a number of foods with textures that are unfamiliar to western palates!), but they grew on me after a while.
I been chopping them up fairly small and adding them to veggie soup-- makes it much heartier and filling with no discernable taste (and cutting them up helps with the texture.)
We also got a package of the shirataki cake--which is the same stuff only in a mass rather than cut into noodles. My husband cut it into small pieces and stir-fried it with a bit of spicy rojo pork, mushrooms and cabbage, and ate it in a taco. He said that particularly with the spicness of the pork, he didn't really taste the shiritaki at all--and that it had the texture of the mushrooms.0
