    I still can't find the non-tofu ones anywhere around here. I even went into the big asian supermarket. Any Canadians been able to find them anywhere?

    I am going across the border into the US next week and want to try to find some but don't want to have to search all over for them so does anyone know of a chain of grocery stores down there that carries them?

    Help a noodle loving girl out! lol!



    I found both the tofu and non-tofu ones at the T&T Supermarket in Edmonton.

    Thanks. I have gone into my local T&T and they only had the tofu ones. I feel like I'm losing my mind! Lol!

    Thank you! I almost bought some on a whim from my local coop last week but wasn't sure. I'll definitely go back for them now!

    I just read the first post and none others... but I noticed my main problem with them wasn't addressed.

    They look the exact same going INTO my body as they do coming OUT of my body.... I think they taste fine, I like them, etc. but I can't get over the bathroom trip afterwards. Maybe it's just me.

    My apologies if this has been addressed because I didn't read through all the previous posts, but I don't understand how they can be both 0 calories . . . and food. Is there any nutrition in them? Not knocking them, I'd like to give them a try, but if they do not contain carbs, protein or fat, are they food?

    Someone in Houston needs to tell me where to find these things. This city is huge and we also have a huge Asian community, but we haven't found them yet (obviously we're looking at the wrong stores.) We tried a Whole Foods down by Rice and they didn't have them, tried Fiesta and no luck there and a couple Asian markets, but there are a million more Asian markets to check out. Ideally I'd like to find some place on the NW end of town.

    Grace's Health Food store at 2920/45 carries them.

    Just had some of the block version broken into parts in my soup for lunch :)

    My Japanese coworkers told me about a year ago I'd make a fortune selling shirataki noodles and konnyaku (the blocky version) in the US as diet food. Too bad someone's already beat me to the punch! :laugh:

    There are many veggies that have virtually zero calories and these noodles are made from one of those veggies.

    I just bought these on ebay because of your post and my hunger for pasta. On ebay a seller from UK sells them for a high price much more than USA. Where can I find them at a reasonable price on the Internet that will ship to Europe? Thank You for sharing this, I sure hope this works. I bought fettuccine,angel hair and rice. Dry fry means no oil right?

    Do you dry fry the rice also? Please tell us how do you dry fry rice?

    I want you to know you are the first post I have responded too,other than joining with others to report someone insulting another very cruelly. I am new and just read and kinda shy but grateful for all people at MFP sharing and seeing I am not the only one with the battle against the scale sure makes it easier each day to continue low carb. You encourage me you lost 64 lbs I know I can also. That is my next goal.

    If you go to miraclenoodle.com you might be able to find a cheaper source. (Otherwise you should consider getting into the business-- seriously! There are so many people in the UK with the exact same complaint!)

    I haven't been able to find the rice, yet, but I'm sure you could dry fry it exactly the same way as the noodles. It's the same thing-- just cut smaller.

    Yay for you getting over your shyness! Please stick around-- there are lots of smart people around here who can help you on your weight loss journey!

    Good luck!

    This is awesome! There's a Japanese grocery store that just opened recently and I have been meaning to check it out.

    I have a feeling I might like this a lot because of the chewy texture. I love glass noodles and I read here, it has the same texture!
