Shirataki Noodles

Melle · 04-28-2008, 02:06 PM

Has anyone tried "Shirataki Noodles"? A friend told me about these, and I bought a package, last week. They were so good, I went back today, and bought five more packages. They are a little pricey...$1.79 a package (which is 1-2 servings). But, they are VERY good.

I love them with cheese sauce...I use Ragu Cheese Sauce in a jar. Today, I had "Chili Mac"...I put chili and cheese on top of it. They are already "cooked". They come "packaged wet"...just dump the package in a colandar and rinse them off, then microwave for about a minute.

I see that Jimmy Moore had a blog, about Shirataki Noodles

Melle, that sounds great.

Where did you find them?

Moretta · 04-30-2008, 11:43 AM

I know you can order them online at Netrition.com or even in Canada at The Low Carb Grocery Store.

They sound pretty interesting and worth a try.

I found them in the local grocery store. Believe me, this is a small town, so I was surprised, although this one store seems to carry more "healthy items".

They were in the dairy case, where the tofu items are.

I haven't tried these yet. I have seen them at the health food store.

I may give them a try once I find them.

What are "Shirataki Noodles" made of?

ShootingStar · 06-13-2008, 01:08 PM

Shirataki (shee-rah-TAH-kee) noodles are thin, low carb, chewy, and translucent traditional Japanese noodles. They are also sometimes called konnyaku noodles. Shirataki noodles are thinner than wheat noodles, do not break as easily, and have a different texture. They are mostly composed of a dietary fiber called glucomannan and contain very few calories and carbohydrates (sometimes even zero). They do not have much flavor by themselves, but absorb flavors well from other ingredients you can combine them with. Shirataki noodles are made from Konjac flour, which comes from the roots of the yam-like Konjac plant grown in Japan and China.

Shirataki noodles are packaged "wet", that is, you purchase them pre-packaged in liquid, and they are ready-to-eat out of the package. You can prepare them by boiling them briefly or running them under hot water, then combining them with other dishes, or adding things like tofu, garlic, spinach, or soy sauce to enhance the flavor.

just be sure you rinse them well before heating to prepare. i like them with alfredo sauce, shrimp, brocolli, and garlic. i bet they'd be great with asian stir fry too, of course.
