So whats the word on these?
How are they?
What is texture like?
How would they be in a stir fry in a "like" LoMein kind of dish? Haha/....(I LOVE LoMein)....
Thanks all!

They are somewhat of an unusual texture. You can NOT compare them to conventional noodles. When you open them, they have a very "fishy" smell and need to be rinsed under hot water or boiled for about 3 minutes. Read on their website about dry roasting them. Don't try eating them alone.
I am including the recipes I've collected up for them. They are worth a try. Like a lot of things, you may or may not like them.
Shiritake / Miracle Noodle Capers Surprise
1 bag Shirataki/Miracle Noodles
1 tsp Paprika
1/2 tsp cumin
1 tbsp crushed capers
spray butter
salt / pepper
1 tbsp dijon mustard
Sesame Noodles
1 or 2 7oz. bags of Miracle Noodle (the less noodles you use, the more the sauce is distributed, and the more flavorful the noodles are)
1/4 cup Kikkoman Soy Sauce
1/4 rounded cup WF peanut spread , softened in microwave 15 seconds on high
2 tbsp cider or rice vinegar
1 tsp dark sesame oil
2 tbsp Hot Chili sauce
2 cups shredded chinese cabbage and kohlrabi
1 cup bean sprouts
4 scallions, chopped
1 tsp sesame seeds
Directions:
Open bag of Miracle Noodles into a colander and rinse with cold water for a couple of minutes and boil for one minute, pat dry with a paper towel or small hand towel. Cut noodles with scissors to make smaller pieces. In the bottom of a large bowl, whisk together soy, peanut butter, vinegar, sesame oil, and hot sauce. Add noodles and veggies and toss to combine the noodles and coat them evenly with sauce.
Sprinkle scallions and sesame seeds throughout the salad and serve. Or you can heat the sauce for a couple of minutes in a sauce pan, then add noodles and serve hot! It’s makes great leftovers the next day!! I had to adapt this recipe to make it phase 1 compliant so it is not the original recipe she did on her show, but super Yummy!
