    Am I the only one who gets a horrible stomach ache from these noodles? Tried them once. Never again... Sounds delicious (in theory) though!

    I eat a pound per day and have never had that happen. I HAVE read, however, that people who don't eat much fiber have to adjust to these since they're rich in fiber.

    I would give them another try but start with smaller portions.

    Or build up your system by eating more fiber rich foods like oranges.

    Umm...2 grams of fiber per serving is hardly "rich in fiber." (And besides, I eat tons of natural sources of fiber, I don't need to get my fiber from highly processed tofu that smells like fish.) It's the glucomannan in them.

    If you read my post you'll see that shirataki noodles do NOT have tofu in them. If you happen to buy "TOFU shirataki noodles" you should expect to find some tofu in them, but shirataki noodles do not contain tofu.

    Thats right... real shirataki will not...

    But, I do like the way tofu-shirataki hold up well when I make a big batch of Pho....

    I recently ordered this type of noodles on line and have a cook book that came with them.These noodles are now my best friend! Its so hard to believe that they take on the flavor of your seasonings and are great! i have angle hair, fetta and rice. I have not tried the rice yet but the others are great so far. i tried spagetti sauce ,the sesame oil,low sodium soy, peppers, onions and felt good that I could log in on mfp with zero cal noodles! Thanks for these extra recipes!:happy:

    When you add your food try searching for "Chelle's Beef Lo Mein For 4".

    If it comes up it will show you all the proportions.

    Enjoy!

    There is no such thing when I do a search. I even did a google search with that phrase, and other than this thread, nothing else came up.

    I sure wish that MFP had a better way to transfer this information from my account!

    Here are the proportions I used to serve 4 people-- and have leftovers-- along with the (calories):

    Certified Angus Beef - Top Round London Broil, 32 oz. (1,520)
    House Foods - Tofu Shirataki Spaghetti, 8 container (8 oz ea.) (320)
    Generic - Bean Sprout, 4 cup (74)
    Mushrooms-Sliced Fresh - Mushrooms, 8 oz (28 g) (53)
    Bok Choy - Bok Choy, 2 cup (70 g) (18)
    Broccoli - Raw, 2 cup, chopped (60)
    Generic - Green Onions, 4 stalk chopped (12g) ~1/8 bunch (12)
    Kroger - Lite Soy Sauce, 4 T (60)
    Kame - Oyster Sauce All Natural, 3 Tbsp (16g) (60)
    Kikkoman - Teriyaki Marinade & Sauce, 4 tbsp (60)
    Iron Chef - Sesame Garlic Sauce & Glaze, 4 Tbsp (120)

    Total: 2567 calories for the batch

    To make the sauce I just mixed the ingredients in a coffee cup and dumped it in.

    Enjoy!

    Thanks so much! I love Lo Mein, and, well, pretty much all types of noodle dishes. *sigh*. Hubby is even more of a carboholic, so he'll flip when he sees this! :)

    It's a 6 pound batch that serves 6 people, so weigh out a pound and it will be about 425 calories.

    The noodles have such a high tendency to stick together and clump up.. Anyone know of ways to separate them?

    The non-tofu ones do that a little more than the tofu ones. I just dump them in a colander, rinse with hot water, and massage them under the running water. They separate pretty easily that way!

    Question... When you say you dry out the noodles, are they then crispy? Do you have to rehydrate them? I want to try these sometime soon! Thanks!
