    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.

    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 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
