Walden Farms? Miracle Noodles?

I went to the store last week in my quest for the Miracle Noodles. I found the noodles, but I decided not to buy it because I couldn't get over how nasty it looked in the water filled pouches they come in. It did not look very appealling at all. I just couldnt bring myself to buy it because I knew I wouldn't eat it and it would be a waste of my money. Friends also told me that they smelly fishy even after you rinse them off. I have devided to eat Whole Grain noodles such as Ranzoni Healty Harvest instead. I just have to eat small portion of the Ranzoni.

Walden Farms products vary in taste. The ranch and asian dressings are kinda gross to me. The peanut spread is only decent if mixed with something like jam or cocoa powder or cinnamon. The caramel dip is OK, slight chemically taste. However, the marshmallow dip is pretty yummy and the chocolate dip is good. By far, the best thing I've tried is their pancake syrup...amazing! It tastes just like regular syrup

I want to try the miracle noodles, though. I'm sure they would be fine in a casserole or something

I've tried the shirataki noodles and they are a good pasta substitute. You have to rinse them first. They absorb the flavors of what they're cooked with, so I boiled them in beef broth before I served it with spaghetti sauce. The texture is a little chewier than pasta.

I tried the noodles. I really wanted to like them, and tried twice, but in the end...ick. They have a wierd watery chewy texture. The taste is, well, tolerable. I just couldnt get past the texture, tho.

I've tried a couple of the Waldens farms salad dressings and disliked all of them. But........they have a 100% money back guarantee, which they honored........and sent me a coupon for a free product! LOL

I've had the shirataki noodles several times and they're fine. My husband thinks they're disgusting, but I like them rather than not being able to have a noodle at all, and they're VERY filling.
Like everyone else has said.........be sure that they're rinsed very well and dried before trying to add a sauce to them.

I just recently purchasd Miracle Noodles. I've tried them 3 times so far, and each time after rinsing them off, I've boiled them. I ate them with just a regular red sauce (Prego or something) and then I received my Walden Farms shipment, so I tried the Alfredo sauce. The Alfredo sauce is NOT bad.... for 0 calories. However, like many others, I don't like the texture of the noodles. I've noticed though, the texture changes while you're boiling them, and technically, they are ready to eat right out of the water package they come in (after rinsing of course). So tonight I'm going to try rinsing them, cutting them slighly (because they are REALLY long noodles) and then just heat them in the microwave with the alfredo sauce on them, and see if that works. Overall, the taste isn't outstanding, but if you sprinkle a bit of parm cheese on the dish, it's just fine. So, I can have a full dish of "pasta" with sauce, for only 40 calories! Come on!

As for Walden Farms, so far I've only tried to Alfredo Sauce, which you know isn't that bad, and the Peanut Spread, which as others have said, is only good with Jam or something added. I agree 100%! It's not very good at all, so if I use it, I always use a regular jam with it. I can't really taste it, but every once in a while I get that peanut taste. Not overwhelming like Peanut Butter, but I suppose for this stuff, I'm not looking for overwhelming. In all liklihood, I won't buy it again, but I will try their syrup, which I heard was outstanding! I also have their Chipolte Ranch Dressing, which I haven't tried yet. It's on my list...

I enjoy the Miracle Noodle brand shiritaki noodles. LIke the above posters have said, the texture is not the same as wheat pasta, but it's similar, and close enough to sate my ravenous pasta cravings.

I can eat my body weight in pasta, especially during certain times of the month,

and miracle noodles allow me to indulge that terrible terrible urge without taking in 57280 calories a night.

plus the extra fiber is always good

Walden Farms is amazing..... 0 everything and tastes great. I even use it as a marinade.

May I suggest for the noodles using spaghetti squash if you are looking for a replacement? At least that tastes good, no fish smell, and it is actually food.

I tried Shirataki Noodles.When you open the package, the liquid inside smells to me like fresh shrimps. Not off-putting to me, but a bit strange in combination with noodles. After leaving noodles in colander for about a minute under running water, the shrimpy smell goes away, but pasta still smells a little, but very faint. I took care of that problem by smearing a bit of chili sauce on the noodles. I would not use these as substitute for pasta. If you like crystal noodles though or rice noodles, this is definitely would work for recipes where you would use any of these. For example, I can see using Shirataki in stir-fry, soup, I added them cold to my salmon salad, and it was good. They have chewy texture. These noodles are basically a filler. They go through your digestive tract and create volume, so you feel full faster, and you have more to pass through (hint hint for those who are not regular). I heard some people saying that noodles sit in their intestines forever, so you get artificial weight gain. I did not notice this effect, but even if so - that wouldn't bother me. Bottom line, I reordered more after I tried for the first time.

Eating miracle noodles right now with some vegetable soup...yum. I order them on amazon subscribe and save.

I use the tofu shiritaki noodles. You have to rinse them really well with cold water (and don't sniff the water they come in! lol). Then I dry pan fry them for about 10 minutes, then add in my other stuff (veggies, chicken, black bean sauce). I also use (and I can't remember the name of them!) a yam "noodle"; I got them in the Asian section at Walmart actually. Similar to the shiritaki but they are made of yams. About 100 calories for the package. They also come in smelly water; I cook them similarly.

I prefer to eat these noodles more as I would a rice noodle; they aren't very similar to pasta IMO. But as a rice noodle in an Asian dish, they work quite well.

The yam noodles were on a shelf but the shiritaki are refridgerated. In Canada I get the shiritaki at Sobey's or Loblaws/Superstore.

Haven't tried either because I just can't get over 0 calories in food, but for anyone who is looking for a noodle replacement for fewer calories/gluten free, try spaghetti squash! It's low cal, 0 fat, and perfect for fall. I'll make a big bowl of spaghetti squash and top with marinara - not too bad!

I use Walden Farms pancake syrup on Kodiak Cakes and it's great...just sweet enough and keeps the pancakes from tasting dry. I use the blueberry and strawberry syrup on greek yogurt (and sometimes pancakes)...really cuts through the bitterness. I use the caramel topping on ice cream/halo top.
