Shiritaki Noodles?

[purplegerber 29]

Just was wondering if anyone had tried these after being sleeved and if they were well tolerated?

I don't know the answer, but I miss noodles of any kind, and don'twant a lot,just a bowl of Thai (any kind) Soup with noodles, haha. Good luck, and I look forward to see what people say.

I'm 6 weeks out and cannot tolerate noodles of any kind, I tried one noodle this weekend and wow--not so good. I've read on this forum a lot of people can't tolerate Pasta either.

I'm think I'm happy I can't have them

I've dabbled with Pasta a couple times, but usually it's the noodles that come in a can of Soup. No problems at all in tolerating it.

That said, I'm curious about whipping up some sort of chicken stir fry with those Shirataki noodles myself... perhaps I will try this for dinner tonight and report back?

shiritaki Noodles are made from Tofu. They are lower carbs and not made out of "pasta". I can't handle Pasta ( i know i shouldn't but i tried some anyway) and was wondering if anyone had any luck with these.

I'm gunna try this tonight and report back to you here. Happy to be a guinea pig!

Just be careful. I used to eat them after reading about hearing about from Hungrygirl's pretend fettuccine alfredo and liked them. I am trying to be more careful with my carb intake, but really miss Pasta.

Look up miracle noodles. They do have a bit of an odor out of the bag ( you have to rinse ) and they are a bit different consistency than regular Pasta. But they are basically a "free" food; no calories, fat, gluten; carbs etc. ( They are made from a plant starch. Come from Asia, been used there for years) They are a carrier for sauce. They have no real flavor, you get the flavor from whatever sauce you use. I made a batch of "spaghetti" with ground turkey and a low sugar Tomato sauce. It was better after they set over night and absorbed some of the flavor. The texture is a little weird, but if you can get used to it then it is a great alternative.

Roo did your sleeve handle them well? That is what i am most afraid of. I have had them pre surgery, and i got used to their odd texture/taste. I just wasn't sure how well tolerated they were with the sleeve. Since I have been sleeved, Pasta is not my friend( and it really shouldn't be I guess).

Well I have to be honest, I have the sleeve of steel. The only one thing I have found that seems to bother it at all is plain H2O ..I can sip Water ok, but only small amounts. Add anything to it, like Crystal Lite, and no more problems- weird! lol But no, I had no problem at all eating them. They didn't bother me in the least.

I've wondered about how kelp noodles would go down as well as Shirataki. they are a sea veggie. I use them in a low-carb pad thai dish. For the unsleeved they are great. I love thai noodles. I've also used thinly sliced jicama (pretty watery root veggie from Mexico) as noodles, too.

They haven't caused a problem for me like regular Pasta. Be sure to follow the instructions exactly because they can be nasty if you don't.

Yes i have. They are tofu and yummy. Makes you feel like your not missing out on Pasta. I am 10 months and still do not eat bread or Pasta so it is a nice substitute.

I never could find them . I first saw them on dr oz. show

I'm years out from surgery so me being able to eat them without issue will be much different than other responses. I actually really like them and I found them at Walmart. They smell a bit fishy so you will want to rinse them thoroughly before using. They are really really long too so in that case I like to cut them shorter before cooking.

I pan sautee them with EVOO and lots of garlic and it kills the rest of the smell and minor bland flavor, then it takes on the flavor of whatever you cook into it.

It's def acquired, you will get many different answers. Lots of people don't like them.
