I can't remember their name, but they are MUCH better than the tofu ones. No carbs/fat, etc. Nothing like real noodles of course, but a lot better than these. :)Dereknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5545117243951054815.post-51459848178944330112011-02-10T18:09:56.581-06:002011-02-10T18:09:56.581-06:00I would LOVE to see a newsletter feature with all ...I would LOVE to see a newsletter feature with all of your yummy recipe ideasAllison Trottiernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5545117243951054815.post-88747606096570090102011-01-30T09:27:38.653-06:002011-01-30T09:27:38.653-06:00I've been using Shirataki noodles for years.

The Miracle Noodles that everyone talks about are just regular shirataki noodles that were given a fancy name & fancy marketing & TV exposure so everyone thinks it's something new. <br /><br />I've been getting SNs at the Konjac site (http://www.konjacfoods.com) since about 1998. It's an old site and has no fancy bells & whistles. You have to buy a case which is 24/9oz pkgs. (about $45 including shipping, except for Angel hair which is cheaper.) (I think you can buy 2 bags of the Angel Hair to try.) They keep forever and you can get a mixed case for variety. They also sell the Glucomannan Powder which is what the SNs are made from and is also a good thickener for sauces etc. I haven't tried all the varieties since I tend to stick to basics. I'm not affiliated with them I just think they've been doing it for years & I trust them. <br /><br />I also have a local supermarket that has SNs at a lower price but they are the ones with tofu & not my favorite but I do buy a few when I shop there just to keep on hand for emergencies.<br /><br />I like making chicken noodle soup with them as well as stir fries and casseroles of all kinds. One trick I've done is to rinse & drain them, dry a bit on paper towels, then I put them in a bowl with a couple pats of butter & nuke 'em for 2 minutes before adding them to my soup, casseroles, stir fries etc. I think it changes the texture somewhat. <br />PS: there is no tofu in the konjac SNs. This is a bit long, sorry.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5545117243951054815.post-79861823407089495232011-01-29T09:04:28.193-06:002011-01-29T09:04:28.193-06:00Congrats on the weight loss! you are doing great!!...Congrats on the weight loss! you are doing great!!
