5.0 out of 5 stars They're noodles...and tofu!, October 31, 2005

I first tried these tofu noodles on a whim. They looked interesting, low-calorie, and fun to eat. I am so happy I found these noodles!

The noodles come in a pouch with water, and it is plenty for two people. I drain out the water, add some fresh water, and microwave it in a bowl for 2 minutes. They have a cool texture (like slippery ramen), and they have a very mild flavor. I typically eat these noodles after adding some type of sauce and veggies. Yummy!

A warning: when you first open the noodles, they smell strange. VERY strange. Almost so strange that you may not want to eat them! Apparently this is normal (they are made with yam flour), and the package says to just boil them for 2 minutes to remove the smell. After 2 minutes in the microwave, the smell really does go away!

Overall, I love these noodles. It is a low-cal, low-carb alternative to ramen noodles, and it has a lot of protein. They are mild enough to mix with anything, and they are really easy to make. Try it out and enjoy!

4.0 out of 5 stars A different kind of noodle, August 26, 2006

I bought a few bags of these noodles after reading a very favorable review of them on the Hungry Girl website, and I am glad that I did. They work well in a number of different recipes, are filling, and add a "calcium boost" to the dishes I use them in, for very few calories. These are not "pasta" type noodles, of course - the texture is different (softer and kind of "slippery"), and they have virtually no flavor of their own - they take on the flavor of whatever sauce or dressing you use with them. I probably won't use these noodles with European-style or American-style sauces such as marinara or cheese sauce - those types of sauces were created for grain-based pastas, which these are not. On the other hand, these noodles are fine in such Asian recipes as Pad Thai, Lo Mein and Dan-Dan Noodes (basically, noodles in a spicy peanut or sesame sauce). There are a lot of Asian-style recipes in cookbooks and on the Internet which are fairly easy to make, taste terrific, and work beautifully with these noodles. You can prepare yourself a real treat, if you use these noodles in the types of recipes that work well with their texture, and for a fraction of the calories you'd eat if using regular noodles or rice. In short, if you attempt something like spaghetti with meatballs or chicken cacciatore using these noodles, you're likely to be disappointed, but if you use them in Pad Thai, any type of curry, other Asian dishes, or most soups, you're likely to find yourself enjoying a delicious and wonderfully low-cal, low-carb meal.

One thing - when you open the bag, there is a slight ammonia-like odor (it smells ammonia-like to me, anyway). If you rinse the noodles well and then parboil them for a few minutes, as per the package directions, the odor really does disappear. It is not a strong odor, it won't permeate your kitchen or anything like that, but you will definitely want to rinse and parboil the noodles before using them. Just follow the package directions.

5.0 out of 5 stars traditional noodles, January 6, 2006

I spent some time in Japan and the shirataki noodles are used in a bunch of dishes including Sukiyaki. Maybe that's why the Japanese are thin. These noodles should be parboiled to remove the preservative. They don't melt easily so they can be cooked for a long time. They have a hard gelatinous texture so they don't absorb flavors easily. I think they taste better with strong sauces, smoked meats, etc. If you are trying to lower your carbs and/or cut calories, you can have your noodles and eat it too.
