    I use shiritake noodles in the place of spaghetti. Words to the wise:

    1. RINSE THEM WELL and 2. PARBOIL or MICROWAVE them

    They smell like fish from the depths of hell when you open them.

    Don't get psyched up thinking it is gonna taste like pasta. You can use it in pasta and I actually like them, but they don't taste like or have the texture of pasta. One of my MFP peeps HATES them and would puke if I even suggested she eat them. I actually had them in meat sauce tonight for dinner.

    I just made shirataki egg drop soup tonight for dinner with a little chicken breast added in. One bowl did it! I'm full.

    This sounds delish and may be just the substitute that I'm looking for when I'm craving pasta. I'm not a huge fan of bean sprouts, but may like them better if they are fried in a pan. Would be awesome though to toss some broccoli in it too. When I go to the store this weekend, I will have to find these. Thanks for sharing!:smile:

    Anne's old fashioned chicken base- is this a ready made stock? Could I substitute a little veg stock?

    Also- never knew you could freeze bean sprouts! That's great cos they're a bit pricey where i live, and i never finish a pack in time.

    Thanks

    wow i just made this. i made 2 huge mistakes...1. I used regular soy sauce instead of low sodium, and added a bit of garlic salt.. i used 3 cubes of chicken bullion knorr, and I put in green peas instead of bean sporouts. IT WAS SO SALTY, but if it wasnt that salty, it would have been the most delicious this ever! next time low sodium soy sauce, and no garlic salt and I will use 2 bullion cubes instead. thanks for this idea!!

    i just logged in my meal and 3 chicken bullion cubes has about 8000 mg of sodium. Be careful with that. I am sure I used the wrong amount. Otherwise was great, thank you!!

    I wish I could go back and edit the post but it won't let me. The chicken paste I use is ready made and great for starting a stock. When I buy boullion cubes I buy the lower sodium ones. I've even found some, on occasion, that are sodium free. Veggie stock cubes are fine, too.

    Losing 64 pounds dropped my blood pressure so much that I don't pay much attention to sodium anymore. I went from a steady 145/88 to a rock solid 107/70-- without medication.

    I need to do a long post on shirataki noodles because I make them every day and fix then dozens of different ways.
