Way cheaper than the other brands on Amazon. The other brands are $0.40-$0.60 per ounce. So unless you go to an Asian market, those noodles are expensive.
Hi. I purchased the better than rice. I noticed this brand has calories. Do you know if they add tofu or something?
I can't answer the tofu question, but even the "original" ones have calories. It's just a low enough amount that it doesn't have to be labeled per serving. The bags I buy have 19-23 calories for the entire 14oz bag. The weights vary a bit. Not that it really matters when it only varies by 4 calories.
True. I think they are less than 5 calories. Thanks for replying0 -

I just run them under water in a strainer while I prepare a sauce. They're the staple for all of my pasta dishes and ramen dishes. Reminds me of tofu- basically flavorless and requires good spice knowledge. (Technical term there, spice knowledge.)
Which brand do you like0 -
I eat them every night. I use the macaroni ones and literally eat mac n' cheese every night with laughing cow cheese, nutritional yeast, and a protein. I'm weird. But it just tastes so good. And I eat two bags....0

I love them.. I put them in canned soup with broth, cilantro and chicken for a low-carb, high volume dinner0

Maybe I should give them another chance.
I will look at the options available at H Mart (Asian market) this time instead of the teeny selection in my regular grocery store. We are overdue for a hot pot /shabu shabu nite.0 -
Yuck I hate these "noodles" I would so much rather use zucchini zoodles0

I'm thinking about trying the macaroni. I see that House Foods sells them. I'm getting addicted. The rice so yummy with my white bean chicken chili last night. I'm thinking of different foods that I can pair them with.
I know that lots of people say they are only good with Asian inspired dishes, but I have enjoyed them with non-Asian meals so far.0 -

Let me tell you. They have done wonders for me in the area of digestion.... Don't want to be gross. So they are truly worth it!
I'll try the angel hair pasta today. I love when I find new things to eat.

@leejoyce31 - the Better Than brand does not have tofu. The pasta kind has 45 calories for a 14 oz bag. I'm thinking the rice might be the same. I think I'm actually going to get the rice so I can add it to my soup. I love my cream of chicken soup, but I think the shirataki rice would just make it a bit more filling.0

Since I don't have an Asian market in my town, I order them online. I get vitacost brand when they are on sale buy one get one 50% off. Yes, probably still a little pricier than at an Asian market, but not more than I would pay in gas to drive to one!0
-
And I do think they taste fine in a stir fry with yummy sauce. Don't like them much for spaghetti or rice alternative. The texture just isn't right for those dishes. Easy to prepare and eat...0

I tried them and the texture was not for me. I bought from amazon and threw most away. I prefer fibergourmet noodles because they have 1/2 the calories, protein and tons of fiber plus they taste like pasta. JMO.

Thanks so much. I looked it up. It has oat fiber which is nondigestible. So the calories are nil. 4 carbs per serving and 4 fiber. Zero net carbs. Zero calories. I'll let you know if I like them. They arrive Monday.0 -
I think the rice is soooo much better than the noodles. If you've ever had Israeli (pearled) couscous, it reminds me of that texture. The rice also holds sauce/cheese better than the noodles do, in my opinion. The rice is a lot harder to find in stores for me, though.0

Too funny. I was about to post that about the rice. I decided that going forth I'll probably only do the rice.0
