First time trying Magic Noodles

i got some shirataki noodles last week and made a stir fry with soy sauce and a bunch of vegetables, with meatless chicken pieces. total came out to 75 calories and i was full for about 5 hours. was real tasty too i noticed the noodles are better when you saute them

i would guess that magic noodles are the shirataki noodles.
they are an asian food, made from yam flour.
the regular shirataki noodles have 0 calories, and the tofu ones have 20 calories per serving.

they are a pasta subsitute, not that great by themselves. they pretty much absorb what you cook them with, and in a stir fry they are delicious.

they can be found either in the organics next to the tofu, or the regular shirataki noodles can be purchased at an asian market or online.

if you get refular noodles, the best way to cook them is to rinse them under water for several minutes (they have a fishy smell, no fish on it though, they are kept cold and packaged in water) and then to cook them on the skillet instead of boiling (they are pretty much cooked already, just need to heat them)

google shirataki noodles for more information, they are pretty good especially if oyu want to feel full without all the calories and carbs. more used as a filler, so i recommend to make things that have nutritional value with them (such as dark greens, vegetables and protein).
