Shirataki noodles. Anyone tried them?

[wonderwoman]

Per our local newspaper, Shirataki noodles are found alongside the tofu and other refrigerated Asian foods in the produce sections. Made from water soluble fiber that comes from sweet potato, some are made with tofu as well. The growth of gluten free, which they happen to be, is driving the popularity of the product.

I've eaten them and found them okay. You really need to rinse them and they are a big tougher than traditional pasta. I find that I like them best when I combine them with a pasta I like. I recently tried the D'Oro corn pasta that someone recommended here. I think I agree they are the best tasting so far.
My spaghetti was good, my shrimp salad was good but a bit tough the next day. I'm trying mac and cheese and think it will be good for that. Deb

Hi Charlotte-I have tried them in the past but had major symptoms after I ate them. I thought it was from the fiber but didn't realize some were made from SP-which is a high yellow for me. Maybe I'll try the ones made from tofu to see. Like Deb said, you need to rinse them well and I blanched them before I added them into my meals. I know alot of people don't like the texture of them but that didn't bother me.

Hi again Charlotte,
I decided to go buy some of the tofu noodles to add to my broccoli slaw and shrimp lunch and I must say, I totally loved them. I have not eaten any "pasta" type foods in a long time so that might be part of it. They seem to be settling well in my belly too, no negative symptoms, so I'd say they are a winner! Thanks for reminding me about them and also about the tofu ones.

Morning Charlotte,

I have tried them and have had no ill side effects. For me they work and I enjoy them.

Love, Maggie
