    I had a bad experience with Shirataki noodles before, but tonight I decided to make them again.

    Rinse. DRY. Cook in frying pan till very dry (7 mins) - I used a light oil spray.

    Scramble one egg. Added soy sauce, onions, celery, green onion, red pepper flakes, sesame oil, and black pepper.

    Delicious!

    ETA: huge plate of food for around 220 calories. *I did not use the Tofu ones... just regular Shirataki.

    Rinse the CRAP out of those things. I cannot stress that enough. Then blot them dry and you should be good to go. Once rinsed they're rather flavorless but I suppose that's what a good fresh tomato sauce or the like is for.

    Eh. They are not really bad or anything, but they are not great. I would prefer to just fit some whole wheat noodles into my allowance than eat them just because they are low calorie - just one of those things.

    I don't get the big deal about these noodles. They have no calories, no nutritional value, whats the point?

    I think that is the point :) I saved about 150 calories at lunch today by subbing it out for my whole grain pasta, and I was very satisfied. It then allowed me to have an a nice snack later on.

    You can use them to bulk up foods that do have nutritional value!!!

    Also, for me, they let me get my pasta fix without the carbs! Perfect.

    I just made them again today for lunch and this time added double the lean chicken breast that I normally add. I love that I am already at 90 grams of protein for the day and was able to have a nice big lunch after my workout.

    I made a version of this for dinner the other night. I also added a little meat, red and green peppers and some kimchi. and Mother of God was that good. Even better today as a left over!

    Never tried them but I heard they're good in asian inspired dishes. I heard you can get some that are made with seaweed too, which would be a good way to get more iodine if you don't eat sea vegetables otherwise.
