    probably udon, but i would go for buckwheat udon if possible. Soba noodles are also made out of buckwheat...buckwheat is actually a vegetable and not a starchy grain. Its healthier for you and has lots of fiber too. Also lower cal! Buckwheat noodles are usualy more brown and slightly translucent with visible flecks of fiber.

    I have been hearing a lot about shirataki noodles lately - that have neglible calories and supposedly taste great...

    They are the same. Shirataki are the ones that have no calories.

    ^^ITA. Love soba noodles! They're hearty and delicious. Great in a curry soup! If you can find those I'd definitely try them.
