    I've tried them before - I think you could definately siphon a portion out and keep the packet in the fridge - not for a long time - couple of days most.

    You need to rinse them out well and dry fry them until they squeak like tiny little mice. Then you put your sauce on them and they are still flipping vile (sorry)

    Some people swear by them, but eating them just made me very sad about my life so I stopped.

    Also they absorb water like a mother which is why I think they give people stomach aches - also they are pretty much all fibre (I think) so you should have some interesting bowel movements

    They certainly seem to divide opinion! I will report back tomorrow and let you all know my thoughts!

    Just made these yesterday, and I have to say they turned out better than expected! The key is to wash them really well and let them simmer in a good sauce for a while so you lose the fishy flavor. I prepared the whole 1 lb bag, added lotus root and turkey meatballs, and let that simmer in a sauce of composed of miso paste, teriyaki, ground ginger, onion powder, chili powder, lime juice, and sriracha. I divided the whole thing into two portions and added slivers of roasted carrots and broccoli as a topper. Om nom nom!

    I LOVE shirataki noodles and often eat the whole package at once. That said, they need to be prepared. Drain & rinse them thoroughly under hot water for a few minutes in a strainer to get rid of that fishy smell. Then pat them dry. Throw them in a pan with oil or sauce and they will take on whatever flavor you give them.

    40 calories for 8 oz. versus, what? 200 per oz of pasta? I can't even count that high.

    P.S. I prefer the fettuccine style.


    ^^. I use them as well and love them

    I'm not a fan of them as the smell weird and taste bland.

    Try spaghetti squash to substitute noodles. Great source of vitamins and a great way to get extra veggies in.

    I have heard this before but I don't think spaghetti squash is something all that readily available here in the UK, sadly
