Shirataki noodles! (AKA Miracle Noodles).

I love, love, love noodles in all their glorious forms but being so carb-laden I had to avoid them. But since Shirataki noodles are almost entirely carb-free, I can once again enjoy making keto-versions of some of my fave dishes again!

What food are you glad you discovered on this WOE?

    MCT oil and grass fed Butter! I had no idea that I was so deficient in fat consumption, the right kind, anyway. I also have a stevia plant growing in the garden that I will be using for those, " give me something sweet NOW moments!"

    Cocoa powder and cinnamon!

    I like to make chocolate truffles with coconut oil. Or I'll mix some into plain yogurt and make a chocolate pudding

    Shirataki noodle are made from a kind of yam, are cased in water (at my grocer) and are sometimes called miracle noodles :) Here's an online source for them http://www.thelowcarbgrocery.com/catalog/shirataki-noodle-c-132_936_998.html?gclid=CLqA8tyJl8cCFQZbfgod2F4AzQ

    oh my yes!! Do NOT just eat them or toss them at food straight from the pkg; rinse the heck out of them (and I prefer to let them simmer with sauce a bit to really take on some flavour)

    I haven't looked yet, but this "smelly stuff" is sounding more interesting. Ha! Ha!

    Ok please someone tell me how to make yummy shiritaki noodles because I keep trying and and failing (gagging).

    So what I do is drain the noodles from the water (which is what smells), and then rinse them and then simmer along with whatever they will be served with for at least a couple minutes. Then they take on the flavour of whatever they simmer with :)

    Maybe I will try again. I have rinsed and rinsed and rinsed and then rinsed some more. Did I mention I have drained and rinsed?? :p Then tried simmering them in stock/broth, simmering in hot sauce, simmering with herbs... but it has been a few years so maybe I should give them another go. I do miss noodles. Anyone know how zoodles (zucchini) noodles are? I don't know if I should spend money on a spiral slicer to make them or not.

    I love my spiralizer. I make zucchini noodles, salt them and let them weep, then rinse and squeeze out excess water. I boil them for 2 minutes -tops- and they are divine! Best $15 I've spent in a long time!
