I've heard a few people mention miracle noodles. What are people's opinions of them and are they restricted at all? TIA!
i tried the miracle noodles. they worked great, and are not restricted. they smell bad in the package but after rinsing and blanching, basically absorb the flavor of whatever they're cooked with. A little more the consistency and texture of a bean sprout, but when I stir fried some zuchinni, cauliflower, and mushrooms with some Tamari Soy (also 0 calories), sprinkle in some red pepper flakes, a little black pepper and onion/garlic powder, and it made a great meal and I felt like I was eating lo mein. A little pricey but worth it for a treat now and then. My 2 cents
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!

I wasn't really that fond of the miracle noodles the couple of times I tried them. It was probably my recipe - should try again.
However - I tried the Banana Pudding 'tapioca' recipe that is on here somewhere - it uses a banana pudding packet & a packet of miracle rice. I really enjoyed that. Maybe because I like tapioca, and it did feel somewhat like I was eating chewy tapioca. Matter of fact, I may have that for tonight's snack.
Ingredients:
Banana Pudding packet (other pudding flavors will work too)
Package of Miracle Rice
Cinnamon (optional)
Poppy seeds (optional)
Stevia (or whatever IP plan appropriate sweetener you are going to use)
Vanilla extract - a dash
2/3 cup of hot water for mixing up the pudding
Sea salt for the water for boiling the Miracle Rice.
Instructions:
Open package of Miracle Rice and rinse well in cold water.
Blanch/boil in fresh hot salted water for 1 minute. Can leave in the hot water until ready to use if you want your pudding hot.
Make the Banana Pudding - 2/3 cup of hot water is about right.
Add cinnamon, poppy seeds, stevia, vanilla.
Drain the 'tapioca' (Miracle Rice) and add to the pudding mixture.
Mix well and enjoy.

Thanks, evepet.
I had a part of a rice pudding recipe and now you've provided the full recipe. I've been wanting to try the rice pudding and was afraid to improvise and try to figure out the missing portion.

Thanks again
Coconut milk would not work on Phase 1. Sorry, they were all together. I'm trying to collect recipes for the rest of my life.
Thanks so much for the input everyone! I can't wait to try all of those recipes. There is a grocery store chain here in Minnesota that I know carries them so I'm going to have make a trip out there this week.
OK I tried the Shirakiku Shirataki WHITE Noodles (198g) Last night. I got it at my Grocery store (Albertsons) in the Asian refrigerator section. It was less than $2.00 a bag. it is a 0/0/0 food and contains Purified water, yam flour.
When I opend the bag it did have a strong fish smell, which is weird for a yam, but I rinced it and threw them in with my stir fry. They were reall good and I think they will be awesome in a Pho soup. I dont think I would like them as a "Italian pasta" but a great replacement for rice noodles!
