I know this is an old post but I wanted to comment on using these noodles. I use them all the time. I've found that if I (1) rinse them thoroughly, and then (2) cook them in the microwave for 3-5 minutes after rinsing that it just about makes the texture like regular noodles.

I do recommend taking a clean pair of kitchen scissors and cutting them up a little, because they're too long.

But if you eat them right out of the package they smell funny and are slimy and rubbery. Rinsing and cooking work wonders.

I was totally stoked when I found these at Safeway. Thank goodness for decent food you can find easily!

I just tried these with the GG broc and cheese and 3 ounces chicken breast tenders. The entire ginormous serving is a whopping 326 calories.

I love the texture of these shirataki - but I saute dried them. Anonymous (Anonymouses, Anonymii?)had some great tips for these awesome low-cal noodles.

I will be re-concocting a lot of noodle based recipes using them.

(I am SO glad I found this blog!!!)

I use Shirataki noodles all the time and love them. Mostly in asian type foods (like pad thai), but sometimes in Italian style dishes as well.

The author was exactly right that you MUST rinse the noodles before using, but I've also found if you "saute" them over HIGH heat for a minute or two after rinsing you never have gooey noodles.

Hope this helps.

I just found your website – how exciting!

these noodles are wonderful if you microwave one container of green giant just for one broccoli with cheese sauce (1 pt for the container) and then mix with the noodles. It’s a great treat and only one point……or 100 calories.

I just tried these noodles for the first time and I am very impressed. They taste great and I actually enjoyed the chewiness.

I just discovered your blog -- and love it! These noodles look quite tasty. I recently discovered Ramen's new line of organic noodles, which are tasty, healthier than regular Ramen, and easy to make. They don't seem quite as nutritionally thrifty as these shirataki noodles, though, but our natural food store doesn't sell them. I might have to order some! Anyhoo, love the blog -- check out my own healthy cooking blog here!
