Score on Shiritaki noodles!
Options
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!

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!0 -
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.0

Is this something that you would incorporate with a stir fry ?0

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 hehehehe0

I have used them for stir fry and it came out great. Really takes on the flavor of anything you put in it.0 -
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.0 -
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.0

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.0 -

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!0 -

Have you ever tried them?0 -
I can find the traditional 0 calorie version at Asian markets for about $1.00 to $1.25 a bag.0

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.0 -
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!0

Stdavis53: Thank you for passing along the website! Unfortunately I have no tried and true Shirataki recipes to relay as yet, I haven't experimented with them beyond a few Italian dishes; however, I did stumble across these recipes, complete with photos (hover over the images to reveal the recipe URL): http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/09/28/shirataki-noodle-recipes_n_1919696.html#slide=15754290
