I just bought some Shirataki Noodles and am so excited to try them. I have a few ideas of how to cook them, but what are your favorite Shirataki Noodle recipes???

    They are a little plain, but I think that will make them pretty versatile. I played it safe and tossed them with some garlic, chicken broth and soy sauce but I can't wait to try them prepared other ways

    I use them in place of any noodle based dish.

    I lfind they work better in Asian type dishes, not as a pasta with sauce. I rinse them very well, and then fry in a bpveryhot pan, then I add my stir fry ingredients, usually soy, garlice, and then everything else.

    The Hungry Girl website (www.hungry-girl.com) has tons of recipes using shiratiki noodles.

    I thought they were most disgusting. They were just too gooey in my mouth. I had a major texture problem with them.

    FYI: they're in the produce section. ;)

    Thanks for the suggestions. I will definitely be checking out the Hungry Girl website.

    In my grocery store they were located in the refrigerated health food section. They are packaged in liquid and come in several different noodle sizes.

    I rinse them 2 times then add Ponzu, garlic paste, and some red pepper flakes. I cook it until the liquid is gone and cooked into the noodles. Sooo yummy. If it still lacks flavor you can add some lime and peanuts.

    They're kind of stinky so need rinsing. They aren't bad. Also called miracle noodles.

    I regularly shop the produce section in surprised I've never seen them there. Do all groceries have them or jist ones just have an extensive organic section?

    I think they are becoming more common. I actually had to ask about them but they knew what I was talking about right away. They were just in a place that I never would have looked

    In Japan we would put them in hotpots. They're pretty good in kimchi base soup.

    The biggest problem with them is the texture. Taste is bland so whatever you do to it works but the texture is very rubbery.

    Stir Frying them is ok if you can really dry them up a little and get a little texture to them but even then they can still be a little rubbery/gushy.

    Cant complain all that much though because the calorie difference between them and real pasta is simply rediculous. Its definatley the best substitue per value that you can get but you certainly wont eat it and simply just forget about the real thing.

    There was a topic last week for a "169 calorie" big bowl of noodles that included Shirataki. It looked good

    Does anyone know where you can find these in nova scotia?????? I have been looking everywhere.

    I wasn't crazy about them. They made a weird noise when I bit into them and it was unsettling. I am in love with the Annie Chun organic noodles though. Not as low in calories, but low enough to make me fairly happy with using them.

    chicken noodle soup - serves 2

    1 pk shiritake noodles
    200g chicken (stir-fried in oil first)
    2 chicken stock cubes
    1 teaspoon miso paste
    broccoli
    mini sweet(yellow)corn
    mangetout
    carrot
    seaweed
    water (don't know how much, i just guess - the dog likes the rest in his dinner anyway)

    all thrown in a pot for about 10/15 mins.....gorgeous (sorry don't know how to look in my recipes while i'm doing this to show you the calories)


    remember to rinse them well first - they stink lol. really nice in a stir-fry too :)

    i'm in the UK but i get mine from the internet. i use japancentre but loads of japanese food websites do them - there are probably a few in Canada as well. stay away from the 'miracle noodles' though - they are exactly the same product for ridiculous prices.

    They definitely do smell funny! But they're good and I don't feel like a bunch of crap after I eat them. They keep you hungry for long enough and are great in stirfry dishes.

    These are awesome!! I put them in light alfredo sauce with chicken and broccoli. You really do have to wash them forever. I hate the way they smell! But, seriously an awesome food. I will have to check out the hungry girl website for some more recipes!

    chicken noodle soup is 382 cals when i log it - but 119 comes from the olive oil i use frying the chicken.

    it says in the instructions they don't need to be boiled but i've found the texture much nicer if they are.

    I just posted 2 recipes in 'my recipes' - one for Pad Thai and another for Sesame noodles - both using the shiritaki noodles. Once you've rinsed thoroughly in hot water they are the perfect alternative to pasta!!!
