Walden Farms? Miracle Noodles?

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.

No one is noticing that this is a 6 year old thread?

I order the shirataki noodles from Amazon in three "shapes". Texture doesn't bother me so I like them! But I can see how they can be off-putting; like someone else mentioned, I would not make a shirataki dish for like a potluck or dinner party or anything. They're great for when I'm trying to cut calories and my meal needs more substance, because that's really all they provide (doesn't really taste like anything). In fact, yesterday I had some leftover lengua and Brussels sprouts from a ramen restaurant and luckily remembered I have a couple of pouches hanging out in my pantry and was able to come up with a nice little noodle dish using them

They retain a lot of water so I always dry-fry them for several minutes after boiling. Makes a scary noise....

This may be an old thread but I do have questions about these noodles! Has anyone tried them with ramen soup packets? I used to eat instant ramen at least once a week and I cut it out because... well, they're not very nutritious. But I miss them!

Love the honey dijon dressing and coffee creamers everything else is gross.

Miracle noodles are just disgusting to me lol. Hate the smell and texture and for comparable calories would rather have veggie noodles (like zucchini)

I use a Kraft 15 calorie per 2 tablespoons fat free Italian dressing. It's delicious, I put onion, garlic, Roma Tomas and cut up cakes and add some dressing and it's delicious quick vegetable.
