    Thanks for the post. It is very interesting. I am new to this place and will be checking out your recipes next. One question. You talk about the calories but how are they on carbs?

    I just saw these in the market in Chinatown! I thought, "zero calories? That's impossible." and put them down! I guess I'll have to give 'em a shot now, though. :D

    thekarens...Krogers sells the tofu blend. They're in the produce aisle refrigerated with the tofu. As far as I know all Kroger's carry them. I'm on the hunt for non tofu shirataki now. If I find em I'll let you know!

    You've sold me on this post. Ive seen these noodles before but was hesitant because they just seemed so processed and they way they're packed in liquid reminded me of jelly fsh (i don't know) but no I'm really curious!

    Hmmm....I have an Asian market down the street I'm going to have to check these out for myself. I DO LOVE my spaghetti squash but it takes so freakin long to cook....maybe a good substitute for those days when I have little time. I try not to eat many processed foods so I'll have to check out the ingredients list before buying but if there are recognizable ingredients then I'll definitely try them. Thanks for the post!!

    Let's start asking Kroger to stock them.

    I saw Dr. Oz talk about these once. I will have to check them out and make them on a day when the hubby is out of the house. He is absolutely repulsed by the smell of seafood.

    After that Dr. Oz show I did look for them, but never found the ones he was talking about (zero calorie), but the one with tofu= I wonder if it has a decent protein number with the calories?

    Thank you do much for the information. I've tried them and thought they were ok. I didn't really care for the texture, but I didn't find it awful. I think this dry pan frying may be the answer. I can't wait to try it!

    I can't wait to try them. I shop at the asian grocery store for most things anyways..never saw them but then I wasn't looking for them either. Thanks for the tips about rinsing and dry fry..

    I've used these before in a stir-fry and even my VERY picky husband ate them! I'll have to pick them up again and try one of the 'Chell-Approved' methods!

    Well I saw the topic, was about to post, I had them, washed and dried them for ages like they said and they came out like total crap, but then I actually took a minute to read through the post and .. yep. I didn't dry fry mine. I might pick up another bag if I see some and try them again :) I love noodle based dishes and there's just WAY too many calories in pasta :\ Thank you for your informative post :D

    I'm glad you're going to give them another shot.

    There's no need to wash them for ages, though. I dump them in a strainer and rinse with hot water-- as I massage them with my fingers-- for about 15 to 20 seconds.

    Hot water is very effective at removing the fishy smell.

    If any remains (not likely) the dry fry method completely eradicates it.

    Good luck!
