Re: anyone tried miracle noodles

Thin, long, translucent noodles made from very fine strands of a gelatinous substance called glucomannan, which is taken from the "devil's tongue plant" (Japanese yam), also known as Konjac or konnyaku. Their texture is slightly rubbery and they don't have a flavor of their own, but they pick up the flavor of the broth or other ingredients in the dish in which they are simmered. These are packaged in water and should be drained and rinsed thoroughly before use. Zero carbs!

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?

Boil noodles for 10 mins and drain
Meanwhile, fry onion, bacon, chilli, courgette, garlic - add chopped tomatoes. Add noodles and simmer for 10 minutes. Sprinkle grated cheese over the top and serve. A real treat!

Be careful of the carbs - because of the amount of veg, this is not suitable for induction.

Okay, so I tried these today with chicken alfredo. It was mixed reviews. I didn't mind the taste (they really don't have a taste) but i didn't really like the texture, actually I couldn't even finish a serving of them. However, two of my coworkers thought they were great, compared it to al dente noodles. I don't think I will buy them again but my coworkers said they would. So 2/3 people recommend them.

'Al dente noodles' is a good description of the texture

I got the tofu Siritaki noodles from a local store, ($1.49 for an 8 oz bag 2 net carbs for the whole thing) and I thought that they were awesome! they came in spaghetti, angel hair and fetticini. I just used a little parmesan and butter. They were just like regular al denti noodles. I just rinsed them for a minute in cold water and that weird smell disappeared. I HIGHLY recommend these over the non tofu shiritaki. THose are like eating gristle.
