Ok, living in the middle of Montana, it isn't exactly easy to get Shiritaki noodles. I was able to find them at 1 specialty store locally, but they were the tofu shiritaki noodles. (40 cal per bag) I wanted to get the 0 cal version, but places like amazon/walgreens were double the price for the same noodles.

I found what I believe is the best deal on them. 16 oz bags (double the size of regular) for $2.98 each.

If anyone is interested in these prices, let me know. I don't know if I can post websites on here... (don't want to advertise if its not ok)

Either way, Post your favorite recipes on here!

I am only going to do rinsing then dry frying method to prepare the noodles, so anything after that is up to you guys!

    I just tried them for the first time a couple days ago and love them. I just can't find the 0 cal ones locally. Was happy I found them so cheap online!

    There are 2 types. Those with tofu, and those without. The ones with tofu usually have about 20 calories per serving, (40 per bag)

    The website I found has both types, but I figured, if I can get 0, why not!

    So far my favorite recipe with them was making Vietnamese Seafood Pho. Was delicious!

    Publix carries them (at least the few Publix's in my area do). I believe they are in the tofu section in the greenwise section. Hope this helps.

    House Foods Brand are the best. I love them. You can do anything with them that you would use pasta for. I panic if the Health Food Store is out LOL......they now order a box just for me hehehehe

    I have used them for stir fry and it came out great. Really takes on the flavor of anything you put in it.

    I love these!I make chicken and rice soup, chicken noodle soup, mac-and-cheese, tuna noodle casserole, stir-fry and fried rice!! I thicken my soups with guar gum.

    Oh another note, I have tried to make a ramen replacement but haven't quite perfected one. :( Any recipes would be greatly appreciated.

    Found these the other day at a local store in the gluten free and organic dept, make sure you ask, because I never would of looked there. Also LOVE these, got the tufo ones and used for two meals, so only 20 calories. I made a really good spagetti sauce, with ground turkey,low cal pasta sauce (great one at the $ store) onions,mushrooms and a few spices. It was fantastic and very filling. and only about 300 calories, and made enough for two meals. One nice thing about Shiritaki noodles, their unopened shelf live is long, so if you find them on sale you can stock up.

    Always wanted to know what they taste like. I heard they have an initial fishy smell when you open the package. I want to try them so bad but the idea of them smelling fishy is scary (I'm allergic to fish and seafood).

    FYI I just saw them for the first time in Wegmans.

    The initial fishy smell is gone after rinsing the noodles for 3-5 minutes with really hot water. They don't have any of that taste once you dry fry them after rinsing. They really take any flavor you cook them with. I've made Vietnamese Pho and Pad Thai with them, both amazing. But i've heard of people making Italian, Asian Mac and Cheese (just not macaroni)... Just about everything. Definitely recommend them! I had the 0 cal ones for the first time and they are even better than the Tofu ones!

    I can find the traditional 0 calorie version at Asian markets for about $1.00 to $1.25 a bag.

    You must live in a bigger city than I can, hah. Our only Asian market has 14oz 0 cal bags for $3.98. Definitely more expensive than just ordering them offline.

    If you have a moment, I would appreciate a link to the website where you found said deal -- I have found the zero-cal version locally, but not so cheaply. Thank you!

    Check out my post on here *Vietnamese Seafood Pho*

    One of my favorite things i've made so far with the Shiritaki noodles. There is also a recipe floating around for Pad Thai using them that i've tried.

    It was the same for me here in Montana. None of our major stores carried them, but we have a specialty/organic/health food store that had them. So much amazing stuff in there.

    Made a Fantastic Chicken Alfredo, 1 bag of House Foods Shirataki tofu, (40 cal), 1/2 jar of Walden Farms Alfredo Sauce ( 0 Calories), 3 oz of cooked chicken strips or pieces, 1/2 cup cooked peas, 1/2 cup fresh mushrooms. Dry fried Shirataki, then just added everything else and warmed completely. Makes two meals, 1 serving is alot. And only about 230 caloreis.
    Just remeber to rinse and dry well and you can use these wonder "noodles" for lots of different recipes.

    Just discovered these. Today I had the Miracle Noodles (garlic and herb) with some scrambled eggs, ham, and olive oil. They were very good. I was surprised, I thought they'd be mushy, but they were quite el dente and held together very well.

    They did smell a little funny, but i drained them in a sieve and then fried them in a little olive oil then added the cooked eggs and ham. It was awesome. Huge plateful! my whole meal was 270 cals (lots of ham and egg). The total cal on the package of noodles was 30 cals!!

    I read that if you dry fry them after straining, then it gets the excess water out. I bought several other kinds to try. Different brands. I can't wait to try them out.

    I am from ontario canada and found them at a health food store. I haven't tried the larger grocery stores, but i bet they are there too.
