Later, I was trying to fall asleep, but kept getting these horribly uncomfortable, almost painful, feelings in my stomach. This morning I woke up and I still felt yucky! It was a killer stomach ache! Do you think it's indigestion?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09463286562654903328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12333976.post-82245682557367433552009-07-31T14:09:24.457-04:002009-07-31T14:09:24.457-04:00I also just bought the noodles ( Miracle Noodles) ...I also just bought the noodles ( Miracle Noodles) And they are awesome - I have had them in a couple of meals and both were great. I also have found that if I add them to frozen low cal dinners (such as Healthy CHoice) they make those meals more filling and the juices and sauces in the meai are absorbed by the noodles making them taste great with no carb and no extra calories. Best of all I am full and satisfied.<br />I had no issue with smell, prep or texture.

It takes as much effort to get rid of the smell as it does to make rahmen noodles. After two minutes in hot water there was no smell whatsoever.<BR/><BR/>I grilled some chicken while the noodles soaked in hot water. I drained the water and took the pan drippings with a 1/8 cup of water to loosen the bits and put that chicken water in a ziplock back and added the noodles. I let the noodles sit overnight in the fridge and absorb the flavor.<BR/><BR/>I chopped the chicken and put it in a good size Tupperware container. For lunch I heated the chicken and then added the noodles with some soy sauce and heated it another minute.<BR/><BR/>IT WAS AMAZING!!! I am 6'4 and 240lbs, and I ate that lunch around 1:30pm. It is almost 6 and I am still not hungry.<BR/><BR/>THE BEST NOODLES! I like them as much as any Chinese/Japanese style noodles I have tried.<BR/><BR/>Next...tomato sauce and cheese!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12333976.post-89893512792786234502008-05-28T08:49:00.000-04:002008-05-28T08:49:00.000-04:00I'm well aware that Konjac doesn't have tofu in it...I'm well aware that Konjac doesn't have tofu in it as I very clearly stated in this and other posts I've written about shirataki.

There are TOFU shiritake noodles, and KONJAC shiratake noodles--they are VERY different from one another, including taste, preparation methods, and nutritional value. The person who boiled the noodles and they came out rubbery was probably boiling the KONJAC noodles, which you don't do. they just need to be rinsed. I can't believe this was overlooked all this time.....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12333976.post-32915902390877866442007-08-29T13:09:00.000-04:002007-08-29T13:09:00.000-04:00I've been able to enjoy my favorite: Pho Vietnames...I've been able to enjoy my favorite: Pho Vietnamese Noodle Soup.

So after several unsucessful attempts to find them, I finally found them in the Asian market. I came home and followed directions. They did have a fishy smell but as soon as you rinse them it goes away. I added sesame oil and hot chili oil to the noodles and pan fried them with cut up vegetables. WOW - I loved them and I am now hooked on them. I have been eating them everyday as a meal or side dish and I'm finding that I am losing weight. They are so versatile you can use them for any type of dish. Good luck to everyone they are a wonderful alternative to high carb noodles.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04844452177223523628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12333976.post-71645434890860660402006-09-14T20:29:00.000-04:002006-09-14T20:29:00.000-04:00After much research on the konjac noodles, I final...After much research on the konjac noodles, I finally tried them tonight for the first time. I was already expecting a fishy smell (I am NOT a seafood lover)and a rubber band texture. When I opened the package, the smell wasn't nearly as bad as I was expecting, although I already had a colander ready and water running to rinse. I decided to try them for the first time the same way that I cook regular spaghetti noodles when I'm in a hurry and just want something quick, with a bit of butter, garlic powder and parmesan. I dropped them into boiling water that I had added chicken boullion to for about 3 mins and then drained them and added the other ingredients.<br />Expecting a rubbery texture, that's exactly what I got...only, it's a bit different because they do chew through. The taste was decent. I noticed that after a few bites, the texture seemed not so rubbery to me and more palatable. The taste was very similar to the regular noodles that I fix and it did fill me up. For 0 calories and 0 net carbs...I'm a believer and will be eating these frequently and trying all sorts of recipes with them other than the typical soup or stir fry.Blahsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14279437507358254082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12333976.post-1142311164974759192006-03-13T23:39:00.000-05:002006-03-13T23:39:00.000-05:00Jimmy, I am going to try them.
