I bought some for the first time last week and was amazed at how good they are! Last night I had them with a broccoli and prawn stir-fry and it was so delicious!

Re: anyone tried miracle noodles

The noodles are a good 'legal' food but do make sure you count for the veg and/or cheese amounts in them.

I am fairly sure that the noodles made just from glucomann aka konjak are made from the same vegetable as jicama so should count towards your 2-3 cups of 'salad veg' on induction.

The noodles made part from glucomann and part from tofu should be counted as part of your veg count and your cheese count, as Dr Atkins included what he called 'soy cheese' but which we call tofu as being one of the allowed cheeses on induction.

I can't remember what phase of Atkins you are in, DBL but unless it is tofu in them they would not be 'legal' till the legumes rung/level of OWL

Re: anyone tried miracle noodles

I am glad to hear you have managed to get over the block that many of us have about moving out of the safe environment of induction into the scarey unexplored territory of OWL

Re: anyone tried miracle noodles

Are you guys talking about Shirataki noodles?
Shirataki Noodles (Konnyaku) from the Low Carb Megastore UK the home of Sugar Free and Lowcarb shopping

I love them with tomato, garlic, onion, courgette, and bacon sauce and topped with cheese - yum! Just ordered ten packets!!

You have to boil them for 10 mins prior to cooking to get rid of the fishy smell.

10/10 from me. x

What are they made of that they have a "fishy" smell? I've seen them on the pages of FitDay and wondered if they were legal but I'm no ready to add anything like that to my daily intake just yet....I'm just moving out of extended induction into OWL

Re: anyone tried miracle noodles

I think the smell is from the liquid they are packed in, and it needs to be thoroughly rinsed to get rid of that.

Re: anyone tried miracle noodles

what are your guys' recipes for these?...i bought some ONE time a while back and didn't like how slimy they were I think i made them wrong though - as i took them with me to work and used the microwave - how do you suggest making them?

[Elizellen]

Re: anyone tried miracle noodles

I have only used them in stirfries, and have rinsed them off first then put them in boiling water for a few minutes then drained and added them to the wok with the other veggies used.
