    They only sell the tofu ones at my local grocer so that is all I have tried. The taste was fine, absorbed taste of the mushrooms I cooked them with. I followed the directions and rinsed them then microwaved them for 1 minute.

    Smell= vile.
    Taste= edible.

    I ate mine with marinara so it may have covered some taste up.

    I tried them, they were pretty much the worst thing I have ever tried in my life. I like seafood and am not usually grossed out by textures/smell but those disgusted me.

    I eat the tofu noodles. It really just depends on how you cook and and which flavors you incorporate into them. I drain them, rinse, dry fry them for about 6 minutes and then either saute them with soy sauce and chili paste along with garlic and mixed veggies, or top them with veggie meat balls and marinara sauce.

    The yam and the tofu ones are pretty good. I tried them last year and I didn't like them at all. However, another MFP member posted a post on how to cook them and I must say they are the best. I add broccoli, bok choy, chicken and Curry pastes to mine and they are relish.

    I have also just discovered Kelp noodles too. They are wonderful too.

    The last couple of times I tried them they came out really good. For me, the trick was to a) rinse well, and then b) soak them in a strainer in hot water while preparing the rest of my meal (about 10 minutes). One time, I quickly sauteed (in pan spray) some green onion and garlic, added some Thai green curry paste with a little broth to hydrate it, then threw in peeled and deveined shrimp. Stir-fried until the shrimp was cooked, then tossed the shirataki in there and smooshed it all around until mixed up. Delish.

    The other time, I used a little olive oil, minced shallots, and again a little broth to moisten, and added some leftover chopped cooked pork loin, with Italian herbs. Also good, but the shrimp one was better. :-)

    Where are they available in Canada? All I can find is online ordering sites. I'd like to buy them in a brick/mortar location. Any ideas?

    I do not like then. I would rather just portion control regular pasta.
