Has anyone ever tried this? What's it taste like, whatever you put in it like, marinara sauce? Just curious

The shirataki noodles?  I've had them and quite like them... although the smell of them straight from the package is absolutely foul. I'd recommend rinsing them first and boiling for a few minutes to get rid of it.

They generally have no taste and are quite chewy... but make a great, low-cal pasta alternative.  You can also use them in soups or other noodle dishes.

But, dispite the claims of 'zero calories' there are a few (I think it's 5 per ounce?)... Not a big number but yeah, they aren't just water or air after all xD

What section of the grocery store would I find these in? I have heard so much about them and I will try them. Thanks in advance

Those sounds gross.  I will stick with real food, but thanks for sharing this.

I kinda wanted to try them, but it looks like the only wasy of getting them is ordering off the internet.

I've tried them, I don't think they are worth it. They are gummy and have a lingering, unpleasant aftertaste. I would rather fill up on something equally low calorie but with nutrition as well, such as mixed veggies. However some people swear by them, including Hungry Girl (www.hungry-girl.com) who has a bunch of recipes on her website. I found mine in the refrigerated tofu section of Whole Foods, if you want to give them a try you can probably find them there.

I absolutely LOVE these noodles. I eat them at least 3 times a week. I get it at the grocery near my college, but the one at home doesn't carry 'em, so I usually bring a few bags of the stuff home when i visit. I think only certain places carry the noodles, unfortunately.

Mine have 20cals per 8oz. I like the texture, some people don't. I would try and see. If you mix it with meat, veggies and sauce you really can't taste it, and it will fill you up. look on hungry girl for some ideas with 'em.

I love the shiratake noodles too.   If you close your eyes and think of Fettucine alfredo when you put them in your mouth, they actually taste like it!!  I sprinkle parmesan on them or use pesto sauce or low sugar spaghetti sauce and turkey meatballs.  Love them.

Yes, rinse well first!!  You can just microwave them too, no need to boil them.

I just saw this post and had to respond even though im quite sleepy, I ordered the variety pack from the Miracle Noodle website and must say I am so pleased with these!

They come in a variety of shapes (rice, spaghetti, lasagna, rigatoni, shells etc) so you can really make them close to their original counterparts (pasta and rice)

Yes they will never be pasta or rice, but are so filling and help satisfy my intense carb cravings.  Tonight I made "Mac & Cheese" for dinner with the shells, which included Light cream cheese, FF Shredded cheddar cheese and some seasoning and melted it all together and it was pretty good! 

Im definely a fan!

I think the Shirakti (sp?) noodles are made from tofu (soy).

These actually are "real food" they are shirataki noodles which are traditionally served in sukiyaki. "Miracle Noodle" is just an American marketing ploy to get dieters interested in them. Some are made with tofu some are just made from the yam root. The fishy smell from the package (in my experience) is completely removed by rinsing for the appropriate amount of time (they say a few minutes - and they mean it!). These are tasty as a replacement for ramen or rice noodles which their texture most resembles. I wouldn't probably eat them with marinara, but I really like them in lo mein or rice noodle soups.

You can usually find them at your local asian store.  I ordered them online because I didn't know and then ended up giving them away after two tries at eating them.

I loved them even before they became a "diet food."  I like to buy those blocks in asian supermarkets, chop them up, and stir fry or use them in hot pot.  Delicious stuff!
