I was just at the supermarket and saw yam noodles. Each variety is from 0-4 calories for a 3 ounce serving. Has anyone tried these? Are they any good, and are they as filling as regular noodles? Also, if you have recipes using these noodles, I would love to see them.

i've been looking for these in my store and haven't found them. What store did you find them in? Are they in a certain section? what is the name?
Dr Oz talked about them and how low they are in calories compared to any other type of pasta.
I think you can put anything on them that you would put on pasta...0 -

I found them at the Asian market in the refrigerated noodle sections (next to tofu and won ton skins). They literally say yam noodle on it (below some Chinese characters, usually)0

yam noodles sounds awesome. where did u see them?0

They are chewy but I still think they are good.
Warning: they smell horrible. You will need to rinse them, dry them in a pan, and then possibly boil them for a moment.0 -

Thanks! I looked at the Asian Market near my house but not in the refrigerated section...will look again0 -
For some reason I feel like I found some rice noodles like this at Kroger or HEB and I just mixed them up with some soy sauce.
The ones I had weren't refrigerated, They were just in the Asian aisle with the rice noodles and vermicelli.0 -
Wow. I thought yams were starchy. Are yams this low in calories too?0

I make a home made pho with them. I've read that they aren't very good with Italian dishes. But the pho I make with them is AMAZING. I just use low sodium chicken broth, some chicken, onions, green onions, some parsley, and any other condiments I'd like. Be sure you rinse them very well. They have a very odd texture but they are insanely filling and once you get used to them they are GREAT!0

if they are anything like the shiritake (sp) noodles, no thanks. They were like rubber and smelled like fish. I rinsed them thouroughly and still tasted nasty.0

I've also found them in many large grocery stores near the tofu. If they don't say Yam they will certainly say Shirataki.
These are the ones I find most often in stores, http://www.shiratakinoodles.net/shirataki.jpg
If you think these are going to taste like sweet potato then you are going to be in for a surprise.0 -
i think i'll stick to spaghetti squash.... 1 cup = about 45 calories0

An amazing squash where the fibers inside are long like spaghetti. You can cut it in half and roast or microwave it, then take a fork and break up the strands. It is tasty with salt and pepper, but you could use it with marinara if you wanted to.0 -
These noodles = rubber. Not worth it, I'd rather have the real thing.0

Anytime I get in the mood for food w/ noodles for stir fry I substitue broccoli slaw or cabbage as the noodles. I really like the spinach pasta but it is hard to find in my area. I would definitely try yam noodles though.0
