I am making this for the first time tonight, any ideas or opinions of people who have had it in the past? I'm really excited to try something new

Thank you all in advance!

I love Shirataki noodles, a serving has 10 calories and 5 carbs! Here are two ideas for recipes:

Wash them wash them wash them and then if you are in doubt wash them again! Got to get all that package stuff off of them or they're icky I've tried them a couple ways and looooooooooooooooooooove them!!!

I do a hot turkey sausage spaghetti that is awesome! Open up the turkey sausage casing (Jennie O Hot Italian Turkey Sausage) and take out the meat so it's like hamburger. Then sautee that with onions and diced fire grill tomatoes (they come in a can so easy!!) or you can use a regular sauce. Once the meat is browned put in the Shirataki noodles and make sure they're a least a little separated. They make a fettucini shaped shirataki that works really well! You have to cook shiratakis in a sauce, if you don't they have zero flavor. I usually let it simmer away with some basil, garlic, etc. for about 5 minutes. Then put it over some cooked spinach or just by itself. Bon appetit!

I also turn them into pasta salad by cooking them in some seseme oil and adding some seseme ginger vinagrette to the pan and letting them cook in the flavor. Then I cool them down and put in cherry tomatoes, water chestnuts, celery, and some chicken if I'm making it with protein or without for a side dish of pasta salad with only 10 calories and 5 carbs!!

Have I mentioned I love Shirataki?

I basically use them like I do pasta noodles and enjoy have far less calories in the meal.

I ♥ THEM

My favorite way to make them is with light alfredo sauce, chopped up tomatoes and sauted spinach.

Just yesterday i had it for lunch with scallops, tomatoes and edemame in alfred sauce.
It was sooo good

The first time you open the package and smell them, well, its a little off putting. But if you follow the directions on the package (drain, rinse, and microwave) the smell disappears.

Enjoy them. Lets us know what you think
