    I just tried to dry fry these noodles and im not sure if I did this right. They started to shrivel up? I had it on high and had them on about 7 minutes or so. Its almost like they started disappearing!

    What brand are you using? They'll obviously dewater a little-- that's our goal-- but they shouldn't do so excessively! Just enough to improve the texture.

    Love this! Thank you for the idea of dry frying--- texture is a huge factor for me. I think this will make the difference!!

    Bump....just noticed these on a Groupon deal (I didn't buy), but researching it out (the few brands that are out there) and will check my Asian market tomorrow as I hate to get them online, rather buy a bag or two and try vs a big pack of them to justify shipping. I saw there was a rice option as well.

    Found a few tasty looking you tube videos so far to try, but want to spend more time reading your posts on it.

    I have eaten these noodles 3 times. The first time with pasta sauce and I thought they were yuk.
    The second time after reading this topic, I dry fried them and added them to stirfried vegies and Asian stir fry sauce- they were really good.
    Last time I dry fried them too long, the shrivelled up and were VERY hard to digest so the secret is to no fry them too long. Next time I will just try rinsing really well then drying them on some kitchen paper towel.
    Love the fact that they are so filling.

    I just tried them for the first time last night.

    I didn't know what I was doing, but lots of people online recommended "dry frying" them so I sprayed my wok down and threw them in. After 5 minutes, I set the noodles aside.

    I then sauteed 1/2 cup of cauliflower in a tbsp of olive oil and a little garlic as if I was making stir fry. Once the c-flower was mostly cooked, I added a 1/2 cup of low sodium chicken broth and 1 can of chicken meat (you know the kind - looks like tuna but it's actually chicken and has like 1g fat per serving). Then I dumped the Shirataki noodles back in, let it all simmer on low for a few minutes.

    I scooped the soup in a bowl, topped it with Siracha to taste.

    IT WAS AMAZING. The only thing I wished was that I had a green veggie too for a little color and next time I'll use cubed chicken breast instead of flake. It reminded me of ramen noodle soup, only TONS better and better for me. I think I calculated my dinner at just over 200 calories, and barely any carbs. It was a little fattening because of the olive oil and chicken but it was good for me fat from lean meat and veggie oil.

    I am so excited to play around and create more things. That's just what I did with what I had on hand - imagine if I just came home from a full shopping trip.

    They work GREAT for a "pad thai" type of dish...light soy sauce, reduced fat peanut butter, sesame oil, chicken, etc. - it's great! You're right about the "fishy" smell, but I did a quick 1-minute dunk in boiling water, dried them off, then tossed them into my wok, and it's fabulous! I personally used the tofu/shirataki one... I don't mind the 40 calories...I needed them lol.

    Is the texture of shirataki noodles similar to dangmyeon noodles? (The Korean glass noodles used for japchae.)

    This happened to me too! I bought the Nooodles brand. Shriveling up is the best way to describe what was happening. They didn't taste bad or anything, I just wasn't sure if I was doing it wrong or had left it for too long or what. Any suggestions?

    I would say too long as that is what I did. The first time I just let them lose a bit of moisture but the next time they shrivelled were very dry and hard to digest.
    I am going to just mrinse them well next time and dry them a bit on paper towel.

    I eat them every day and have never had that happen-- but I've never purchased that brand, either. I've cooked the heck out of then and never saw anything remotely like that happen. Very strange!
