    I must be doing something wrong lol I got the tofu shiritaki and rinsed and dry fried and gagged on the texture.... was like eating a squid to me lol the taste was great as it just consumed the sauce but the noodles, I couldn't do it. Do the different brands have different textures maybe?? I got mine from Kroger

    I quite like the Shirataki noodles (Zero Noodles) but I can't believe how expensive they are! They're only water and yam flour!

    Thank you so much for this post!

    My supermarket has just started selling these- I made the rookie mistake of heating them in the microwave- they were awful! That's how I found your post!

    Thank you so much for your tips on dry frying- I just cooked them this way and they were great! So so so much better!

    I live in Maine and up until 2 weeks ago could get it at the local Hannaford, but they just dropped it so looking around. I olive-oil spray saute onions, mushrooms and some kinda green, toss in an ounce of chopped up smoked salmon trim and then the tofu noodles and find the result quite satisfying ... the smoked salmon takes over, flavor-wise, which really helps these noodles

    this is a great post

    I've never tried them, but really wanted to venture off and give them a go. I was mostly afraid of not knowing what to do with them.....problem solved. thanks!

    I had to do a search and come back to find this topic, because I found the Japanese yam ones and couldn't remember exactly how you suggested to cook them. I'm going to try them dry-fried, because I've eaten them other ways and they were okay, but not amazing. FYI I found these at Walmart; mine has a big Asian foods section. They were less than $2 for the pack, and only 50 calories. Thanks!

    I'm vegan and I live off these. Not the tofu ones though bc I try to limit my soy intake as much as I can. They're super versatile.
    Awesome post thread so many recipe ideas I had never considered!

    In Australia these are marketed as SlimPasta / Slim Rice. There is about 4 different varieties all made from the same thing. (Konjac). I have seen them for sale in Coles and Woolworths supermarkets in Victoria.

    Personnally, I don't like the smell.... yes, I do rinse them well. The texture is meh also.... although I might try the dry frying method and see if that makes a difference.

    Until then, I'm happy to avoid.

    These noodles are AWESOME... I've ordered these for a long time. They go well and pick up the flavor of whatever you are cooking...:love:

    Oh my goodness.....I bought these after reading your post Chelle (thank you!) and served them up to my ultra-picky teenage daughter tonight in a stir-fry - nothing fancy, just the noodles(prepared exactly as you said to), beansprouts & veggies and some chilli, garlic & ginger.
    She RAVED over them, and was full to bursting on 1/2 a pack.
    I didn't notice any smell before rinsing, and she didn't think they were 'chewy' - in fact she said they were just like 'normal' noodles!
    We have found a fab new staple - thanks SO much, Chelle for your brilliant article & recipes with these little wonders :-)

    Tried Shirataki Noodles a few years ago, but I didn't try pan frying them. Going to give them a second chance! Thanks for the post!

    Bumping this thread in appreciation. I read this a few weeks ago, and seriously, dry-fried shiritaki noodles are the bomb. I'd never heard of them before I read this thread and would never have picked them up on my own.

    I cook them a really long time - probably even longer than most people do, and it does great things for the texture. Minced sauteed garlic + clams + anchovies and their olive oil + basil + shiritaki noodles = fabulous.

    i used to love them when i was at 1200kcal/day lol obviously fit in quite easily but they weren't great-tasting or horrible. just neutral. now that i can pretty much fit almost anything into my meals id rather just use 'real' noodles, nothing else compares.

    These are rather pricy, but I found my local super market carry them for $1.99 for a bag twice as big as the regular one. I eat 1 bag for 1 meal (4servings) with some light yakisoba sauce. I guess I'm just that hungry...
