Miracle Noodles??? What do you think?

is this the one that was on Dr Oz?

I think other MFP'ers have said they smell really bad and to rinse them before using.

Yes..those are the ones that were on Dr. Oz!

They are best used as part of an Asian dish of some sort, rather than with pasta sauce. They have a fishy smell when you open the package, but it rinses away when you wash them in a colander. They are a bit rubbery, but you can reduce that by cooking them in a pan for a bit. I ordered some not long ago from Amazon, and liked them in a pad thai style dish with tofu, shredded cabbage and other veggies, some toasted sesame oil, mirin, and lime juice. I also used some Bangkok blend spices from Penzeys. It was good!

Some people dislike the texture. My final caveat is that these are made entirely of soluble fiber, so take some Beano with them!

Edit - these are shiritaki noodles, but are different from the soy shiritaki blend.

Don't buy the expensive one's online....go to your local wholefoods or oriental store. And yes they're good, just rinse them well.

I've not had the "regular" shirataki noodles but have had the tofu variety many times. I like them quite a bit. They should be rinsed well and dry-fried in a pan for a bit prior to adding them to your dish.

Definitely don't go in thinking they are a "spaghetti replacement" though or you'll be disappointed. They're pretty damn good in stir-fry. Even found the wide noodles and tried a little homemade chicken alfredo and it wasn't bad at all.

They sound great but I'd rather not order them online. I wish you could purchase them in stores. Another great alternative to pasta is called Tofu Shirataki noodles. You can buy them at most stores. They taste exactly like noodles but with only 20 calories per serving and 4 carbs! They are so low in everything! They come in liquid in a bag. Usually by the tofu. You dont have to cook them but I usually do because I try out different recipes with them. They are delicious!

Take a look at this "Miracle Noodle" Tell me what you think. Especially if you are a " lowcarber"

Oh man I could go for some noodles.... Even with a fishy smell. Noodley goodness I here you in my brain

I only like them in stir-frys or Asian type dishes. I tried using it as a spaghetti substitute, but its just not as good. Speghetti squash worked better. I order mine from Miracle noodle though, they were WAY less fishy smelling than ones I bought from local markets.

I bought the tofu shirataki ones one time and couldn't bring myself to eat them. Blech.

I'll stick with rice noodles! They're cheap and easy to find (plus gluten free). Bonus of no fishy smell.

so i just got my miracle noodles and rice in the mail. i mixed the rice with some split pea soup that i make yesterday, and it wasn't all that bad! you kind of have to expect it to taste like nothing and have a little bit of a funky texture cuz it's zero calories. but instead of having a huge 200 calorie bowl of awesome split pea soup, i had a huge 100 calorie bowl of pretty good split pea soup, and i'm FULL! i wouldn't have it by itself, but i would definitely use it again to mix with other stuff to cut down the calories by 25-50%.

i'm satisfied

ps - they do smell like fish. rinse A LOT, and when it's done cooking, rinse again!
