Has anyone tried Shirataki Noodles?
I saw them mentioned on two other websites, and read only good things about them. They have a very low points value, and low carbs too. They are Japanese noodles, made with yam flour.

40 calories, 1g of fat, 6 carbs, and 4g fiber

It sounds too good to be true.

I asked about them at my local Whole Foods, but they did not carry them. I have heard of them, too, and wondered if they were worth ordering.

There's a japanese market near me I'm going to see if they have them there.

1 point pasta, wow!

Iv not heard of them, wow, that would be great. This might sound like a stupid question but if they are made with yam flour, are they sweet?

Please keep us informed if anyone finds them. They sound interesting. I'll start looking too! ....Sis

I have found these noodles in the cold case of the produce section at Safeway. I bought some but haven't tried them. I read that they smell kinda funny so you need to really rinse them well and lightly saute them before you add any sauce.

Ruffles,

Have you tried them yet?

I've tried them. I don't know if I didn't cook them right or what. The smell disappeared, but I couldn't get past the texture. Hard to explain, really kind of spongy or something. I ended up throwing them out. I may try again at another time since it's such a points bargain, but my first experience wasn't a good one.

Hi, I was just curious..how did you prepare them? I heard that you should rinse them really well and saute them. I have been looking in the stores around me, and haven't found them. What store did you find them in? I also read that there are shirataki noodles and tofu shiratiaki noodles, which did you get?

I read about them on HG and just love noodles, so I would really like to find them.

Thanks,

Sofi
