Walden Farms? Miracle Noodles?

AFGP11

I'll be honest, I haven't enjoyed Walden Farm products or the miracle noodles that much. That said, if you do like them and they save you calories, I say go for it!

No one is noticing that this is a 6 year old thread?

Walden Farms pancake syrup is ace. I just have to not think about what it might be made of!

The barbecue sauce is also not too bad, but whatever you do, don't try and cook with it. It went HORRENDOUS! Definitely made of nasty chemical nonsense...

I now have a couple of syrups from MyProtein to go on ice cream sometimes, or pep up plain greek yogurt. I prefer them.

I order the shirataki noodles from Amazon in three "shapes". Texture doesn't bother me so I like them! But I can see how they can be off-putting; like someone else mentioned, I would not make a shirataki dish for like a potluck or dinner party or anything. They're great for when I'm trying to cut calories and my meal needs more substance, because that's really all they provide (doesn't really taste like anything). In fact, yesterday I had some leftover lengua and Brussels sprouts from a ramen restaurant and luckily remembered I have a couple of pouches hanging out in my pantry and was able to come up with a nice little noodle dish using them

They retain a lot of water so I always dry-fry them for several minutes after boiling. Makes a scary noise....

I wouldn't use shirataki noodles as a Western/Italian pasta replacement but I like them in asian soups, stir fries and salads.

This may be an old thread but I do have questions about these noodles! Has anyone tried them with ramen soup packets? I used to eat instant ramen at least once a week and I cut it out because... well, they're not very nutritious. But I miss them!

I think they work well in asian soups like ramen packet style. Look on YouTube for how to make miso broth - it's so easy and better than packets.

Love the honey dijon dressing and coffee creamers everything else is gross.

Miracle noodles are just disgusting to me lol. Hate the smell and texture and for comparable calories would rather have veggie noodles (like zucchini)

This is a great recipe for using miracle/shiritake noodles, she calls it "Thai Oh My Coconut Chicken Soup":

I'm not a big fan of those noodles, but this soup is amazing.

I use a Kraft 15 calorie per 2 tablespoons fat free Italian dressing. It's delicious, I put onion, garlic, Roma Tomas and cut up cakes and add some dressing and it's delicious quick vegetable.

Should be cut up CUKES, as in cucumbers...iPad corrector! Sorry

I have been adding miracle noodles to lean cuisine meals to bulk them up a bit more. I don't mind them at all now that I have learned how to cook them correctly. As for Walden Farms, I have found the Honey Mustard dressing, Pancake syrup and Jams good. I have tried their peanut spread and thought it was horrible.

I use the Walden farms salad dressing. I thought I try their chocolate syrup. I felt like a sundae the other day so I took a Yasso frozen yogurt off the stick put it in a bowl. Added some sliced banana, low fat whip topping and chocolate syrup. It took care of me wanting a sundae. Yogurt 100 calories, 1/2 banana 50cal, 2 tbs cool whip 15 cal and 0 for syrup. So i got a sundae for 165 cal.
