If you wash them really well they don't have a fishy taste! I rinsed mine thoroughly and boiled them and I didn't notice any fishy taste.
I stir fried mine with chineese broccoli, scallions, red pepper and ginger and topped it with a sauce made from sesame oil, duck sauce and a little bit of soy sauce and crushed red pepper. I topped it with toasted sesame seeds and crushed peanuts. It was pretty awesome
I used the Tofu kind. It was 80 calories for the entire bag of noddles. The sauce was kind of calorie heavy because of the sesame oil but I was hoping that it was kind of like olive oil and somewhat healthy for you, either way it was really good.0 -
I keep meaning to try these but my local stockist is always sold out!0

Ok, probably a really stupid question, but are these noodles the same ones that most Asian "fast food" restaurants or buffets use in their noodles(maybe it's called chow mein??) They have a weird brown/yellowish look and they are seasoned but they have a very strange consistency similar to what you all are describing. I hope someone knows the type of noodles I am talking about. lol They are usually cooked with bean sprouts in them I believe.0

These noodles are used in sukiyaki but I haven't seen them on Asian buffets.0 -
Thanks! Well I think I have seen them at Kroger so I will have to try to find them and give them a try. I don't eat Tofu so I hope I can find the other type.0

Are these the noodles used in the Korean Dish Jap Chae?:
I believe they are sweet potato noodles, but for all I know they could be yam. EIther way, Bumping so I can try these out!0 -

I believe what your talking about is a mass produced *Lo Mein* noodle. Not the same.0 -
This is awesome, thanks OP!
I bought a pack today to use with turkey soup since my fam was going to use standard pasta and I've currently cut those out of my repertoire as they are calorie guzzlers.
Used a pack of Yuho Yam Noodles (Konjac Shirataki Strip) from the Asian section of my grocery store - 69 cents for a 200 gram wet weight pack.
Did the dry fry method as per Chele's instructions and these were a great substitute for noodles in my soup. I may have to play around with the prep method to get a texture I like for stir fry's, but as a soup noodle they are fng awesome.
Question for Chele the expert - how much water weight should the dry fry evaporate? I took the 200 gram pack, rinsed and drained down to ~ 125 grams wet noodles ---- after the dry fry they were down to 55 grams but not still a bit chewy.
Just curious if you've weighed them after dry frying so I know what I should be aiming for to get a "bone dry" noodle.0 -
bump , I'm gonna go to the asian supermarket near my work tomorrow and see if they have these, thanks for sharing !0
