    I have ordered them on-line and bought them at Publix here in Georgia. I think they do smell but I rinse mine very well in hot water. Thanks for all the great ideas. I am going to try the dry frying because I think I would use them more if they were not rubbery. I love that they fill me up too and I use them when my hubby and son are having pasta noodles :)

    I live in Georgia, too, near Warner Robins. We're lucky to have LOTS of Asian markets-- and the noodles are half the price there.

    Love them especially the fettucine ones when the family is having pasta.

    Enjoyed the shiritaki noodles by simply rinsing and microwaving them and patting the hech out of them until they were dry. Definitely going to try the dry-fry method ... this sounds much more appealing !

    Thanks for the info on dry frying the shirataki noodles. After reading so many posts about them, I bought them(tofu one) at Cub Foods up here in Minnesota. I actually went to an Asian store and couldn't find any! I rinsed and pressed them in a colander in hot water for several minutes until the smell was gone. Then I tried the dry fry method. I used a little Yoshida sauce, rice vinegar, a couple drops of hot chili sesame oil and garnished with a little chinese mustard. It turned out great! It reminds me of a Japanese style ramen noodle dish. They are going to be a staple in my diet now! Also, for those that didn't care for them, at least you gave it a try! I agree, it may not be for everyone.

    I've only tried the tofu shirataki noodles. I've yet to try the shirataki noodles without the tofu. I do kinda love the tofu shirataki noodles though and you still get low calories with those. I will definitely try the shirataki noodles very soon though, because I would love to find another noodle replacement. I LOVE noodles more than any human being should. Thanks for the tip and I'll check out that recipe blog too.

    Must try these again using a different cooking method- was really turned off with the texture before.

    Thanks for the great ideas!

    Thanks for posting this. I just made an Italian version of the tofu added ones but I cooked the noodles in a wok. I added a bunch of seasoning, sauce and Romano cheese to it. I think it is a great alternative. It is not the exact thing but for 40 calories a bag I could definitely use it more often.
