shirataki noodles

Any one tried these?

Shirataki noodles - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

They are basically a pasta with zero calories.

I just made my first batch and not bad, no real taste so you have to season them. ( i sauteed mine with, spinach, mushrooms, onions and peppers)

What's the texture like? I've been thinking of trying them, but they look rubbery.

To me, shirataki tastes better than miracle noodles. The trick is that you have to partially "cook" them a little. Make sure you rinse rinse rinse and strain under cold water, then boil it in a pot for 5 mins, then rinse rinse rinse again. I only get the thin noodles, the wider ones taste too tofu-ish for me. It tastes great with Asian recipes. For Italian, make sure that you lay the noodles out on a towel and dry them - they tend to hold a lot of moisture and can make your tomato sauce watery.

Miracle Noodles also sells "rice", which taste more like small tapioca pearls than rice.

@awkwardblackgirl they don't have taste, they don't absorb any sauce or seasoning well, it just tastes like less snappy/dense and more chewy/soft versions of pasta.

I must warn you that you don't nutritionally absorb much of it, they work like fiber and cleanse you -they go out the same way they come in. So if you see a bunch of white wriggly things in the toilet, just remember that you ate the noodles earlier so you don't freak out

I tried some back in undergrad...they were too wormy to me. I just couldn't get into them.

I'd rather just eat regular pasta.
