My interest in them was for a stir-fry...but even if I hate them, the zucchini noodles will take care of it for me!

GREAT idea, LE - thanks for the tip! I've been struggling to find new things to do with zucchini. This sounds terrific!

You can also use a spiralizer available at Bedbath and Beyond and online

I went out with my wife this morning and bought this Oxo brand Julienne slicer http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/prod...FXERNAod8lLqAA
for $9.99 at a local kitchen store....it is awesome!

Liz: Thats the first thing I did when we got home...haha! Had a cuke with WF italian dressing...YUM! It came out so "fine" was very much like thin spaghetti as to size...can't wait for tonight to use it in zucchini!

I LOVE this new tool!
I am still searching locally for 1 pack of miracle noodles to try. Don't want to pay shipping just to try a pack. Still have like 5-6 more places it could be so maybe later today after my work is done.

Cheers
Jake
Wegmans has them in the refrigerated health food section and you can try an oriental grocery store

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!

Thai chicken & Noodles

14 oz chicken breast
6 mushrooms
2 bags of Miracle Noodles
1 c light coconut milk

In a mixing bowl, place the coconut milk, soy sauce, chili, ginger, lemon grass, and lime juice and miz thoroughly
Pour mixture on the chicken and mushrooms and mix well.

Racheal Ray - Hot or Cold Sesame Noodles Recipe
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

Vietnamese noodle soup
3 cups organic reduced sodium chicken stock (or homemade)
Lemongrass sticks
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp minced ginger
1/4 tsp cardamom
1/8 tsp basil
1- 7oz bag of Miracle Noodle Angel Hair Noodles
1 boneless, skinless chicken breast sliced crosswise into 1/8 slices
1 cup bean sprouts
2 scallions, sliced into 1/4 inch pieces
1 tsp chili sauce(optional)
1/2 lime, cut in half
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
1/3 cup of mushrooms-any variety (optional)
1 thinly slice chili pepper with seeds removed (optional)
Directions:
In a 3 quart saucepan, bring chicken stock to a boil over medium-high heat. Add garlic, ginger, lemon grass sticks, ½ jalapeno, basil and cardamom and let simmer for 10 minutes.
In a colander rinse noodles with warm water for a couple of minutes, pat dry with a small hand towel or paper towel to remove excess water. Divide noodles into two bowls.
Add chicken to stock and let cook for 5 minutes(until completely cooked)
Pour soup into bowls over the noodles. Divide bean sprouts between 2 soup bowls then top each serving with half the scallions and chili sauce. Garnish bowls with a slice of lime and pieces of cilantro.
I could swear I was at the Vietnamese restaurant, but without the calories!

Turkey Pho Soup (phase 1-4) serves 2
Toast the spices:
2 tablespoons coriander seeds
4 whole cloves
4 whole star anise
1 cinnamon stick
Heat a cast-iron skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Add the coriander seeds, cloves, star anise, and cinnamon stick and toast until fragrant, about 3-4 minutes. Immediately spoon out the spices into a bowl to avoid burning them and set aside.
1 quart low fat turkey or chicken broth
2 cups mushrooms chopped
1 3-inch chunk of ginger, sliced and smashed with side of knife
1 teaspoon Walden Farms pancake syrup
1 tablespoon fish sauce, or more to taste
1-2 cup kale, chopped into bite-sized pieces
1 pound turkey breast, shredded or chopped
2 packages of angel hair miracle noodles (rinsed well)
1-2 tablespoon cilantro, chopped- for garnish (optional)
1-2 tablespoon chopped green onions (white parts only), minced- for garnish (optional)
1/2 lime, cut into wedges
Sriracha chili sauce to taste
In a large pot, add the toasted spices and all ingredients from stock through fish sauce and bring to a boil.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and let simmer for 20 minutes.
Taste the broth and add more pancake syrup or fish sauce, if needed. Add the kale & mushrooms and cook for 1-2 more minutes. Remove from heat.
Add the shredded turkey and the rinsed miracle noodles. Allow to sit for 5 minutes.
Ladle the broth into bowls. Divide the kale, shredded turkey and the noodles evenly into each bowl.
Sprinkle on the garnishes and add sriracha to taste. Squeeze lime juice to taste over the top of your bowl before eating.
Thanks for the recipies, I am going to try them.
