I do the typical male prep. 1. Get the bowl I am going to eat out of and fill it with hot tap water and leave it run slow. 2. Toss in a sealed bag of Pasta Zero from the frig. Put 8 oz of On The Border Mild Chunky Salsa in the microwave for 71 seconds so it ends up at the door where I put it in the microwave. 3. While it is cooking I slit the warm bag halfway across the top and pour out the water then refill with hot tap water and drain twice. 4. I dump the hot water out of the bowl and rip open the bag of Pasta Zero and dump it as one clump into the bowl I am going to eat it out of. 5. With a knife and fork I cut it both ways so it is all little cubes. 6. Dump salsa on top and stir. 7. Dive in face first and ENJOY. 8. Rinse off everything and stick in back into the dishwasher until hungry for it again.
LOL. Love your method. I have read so much about how bad these shiratake noodles smell that I was never willing to try them. One day when I was eating strict keto, I saw the Pasta Zero and purchased a bag. I was amazed that it didn't have to be heavily rinsed, dry fried, etc. More amazed that it didn't have a noticeable unpleasant smell (to me). I'm not really a huge fan but if someone wants a pasta substitute, I recommend Pasta Zero. The texture is a bit rubbery and they really have no taste which is likely a good thing because it allows them to pick up the flavor of whatever is added.3 -
Most shirataki info I think I have seen in one article.

I like the skinny ramen sized noodles more so than the fatter fettuccini style...the texture is different...I rinse them like crazy and then either heat them in the sauce, or in a skillet, or in a broth depending on what I'm making.4

Great idea! I love these things. I usually let mine simmer in a pot of sauce for about an hour so they absorb the flavour.
The only thing that was off putting at first was the smell. I just make sure I rinse them well.2 -

I haven't seen them at our costco. Similar concept to the shirataki noodles. WHERE in costco are you finding them?0 -
Thank you! Will have to try this. I made a chicken parm recipe from ruledme and had low carb tomato sauce with these noodles last week. I bought no calorie fettuccine Alfredo sauce from Sprouts. A little scared to try it. Anyone tried it here yet with these noodles? No calorie sauce seems wrong, but I had to buy it to see.0

As a certified Costco Junkie I can confidently say not all Costcos carry the same products and it's the most annoying thing ever.2

I tried the Miracle Noodle brand 'rice' last week.... Kind of reminded me of bubble tea. I think I'll stick to the noodle shapes. And a tablespoon of cooked rice when I'm really desperate for that flavour & texture.1

I made cold shirataki noodle salad last night.
Cooked it, rinsed and cooled it, made sauce (Soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, water, Erythritol sweetener) and topped with shredded cabbage, cucumber and tuna salad. I added siracha right before I had it and OMG, it was soooo gooood!

I quite enjoy Shiritaki Noodles and Rice, but they do tend to bloat me pretty badly!
Ive been craving Spaghetti Carbonara with Chicken, Pancetta, Cream & Parmesan (probably not authentic Italian but boyyyyyy is it good!), so i'm going to give it a whirl with the Bare Noodles brand 'Spaghetti' style Shirataki noodles. I'll let you all know how i get on x2 -
I love my shiritaki noodles. They are in my frig 24/7. Instead of potatoes, rice, pasta I have the noodles for my carb ......a protein (meat)...salad ....vegetables...and there's supper. They take the flavor of whatever you pair them with. The ones I get in my town look and feel exactly like rice noodles. I rinse them from the package, soak in water with a bit of lemon juice...rinse again, toss in colander and put in frig. Because they are fibre...have no issues keeping regular. Best thing I've found to keep my carbs under 100 gms per day.1

I've got to try the lot carb pastas, I keep forgetting to look for them at the super market.
I sometimes, even before eating keto, used spaghetti squash instead of pasta. It has a mild taste and the consistency of an al dente angel hair.
But the low carb pasta has piqued my curiosity.2
