    Ok so for the dry frying. I have never seen zero calorie cooking spray. When can I get it (in Australia?? )

    In America, virtually all cooking sprays are 0 or near 0 calories. Just use the lowest you can find.

    Don't know if this question was asked before but : Have you ever tried to dry fry non tofu based Shirataki noodles ? These are a little more rubbery ( and close to 0 calories ) so i'm wondering how it turned out :)

    Hundreds of times-- and they benefit greatly from the process, as well...!

    They don't have a fishy taste just a fishy smell once you open the package. But it all goes away after you wash them, no after taste left. I wouldn't be able to eat them if i couldn't wash it off.

    I must be a weirdo cause I like the taste, smell & texture of them. I just give them a quick rinse with cold water then chuck em in with a stir fry veg mix, some king prawns & a bit of tamarind sauce. I eat them wet rather than dry but might give dry frying a try & bring them to work for lunch one day.

    Sad to say after trying lots of different ways and lowering amounts and so on it appears I really am 'intolerant'
    Not going to stop me from recommending them to everyone else though and then bein jealous I can't eat them ;)

    How sad! :o(

    I don't know how I'd maintain my weight without them...

    Check out my amazing cauliflower mashed potato recipe as a great way to stay full on only a few calories:

    So if you have to order shirataki noodles online you'll only be able to get them without the tofu since there is no way to refrigerate them on the way to you

    Great post. Lots of info. One teensy weensy correction. You can have tofu noodles shipped to you. They just pack them with dry ice. I have had steak, fish, all kinds of perishables shipped. Just FYI.

    One of my other secret favorites is instant miso soup and then I ad spinach and more seaweed. Works out at about 40 cals a bowl and I have one or two a day and it really stops me from over eating

    Good to know!

    At the time I wrote the original post I was unable to find anyone who shipped the tofu shirataki noodles. I'm glad that's changed!

    I usually buy both kinds. I prefer the tofu shirataki but oftentimes like to prepare the zero calorie noodles when every calorie matters.

    Thanks for the updated info!

    See e.g. (certainly not the best deal or anything, just for example) http://www.amazon.com/Tofu-Shirataki-Noodles-Spaghetti-Shape/dp/B000AQFQC6/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1347234161&sr=8-2&keywords=tofu+shirataki+noodles The shipping is $10.90 because it is shipped expedited with the ice packs. But, there are LOTS of places that sell and ship them online.
