Shira Taki noodles?



Recommended Posts

I am craving noodles. This is the first time I have really wanted anything. Have any of you eaten Shira Taki noodles? They are zero everything basically. I would make a peanut sauce and put in some chicken. I would probably eat one bite lol.

I ear "Miracle Noodles" whenever the family is having Pasta or rice. The noodles really have no taste of their own, but will take on the taste of whatever you put over them.

The Miracle Noodle company will send you recipes if you ask or go online and get them.

Just be sure to rinse, rinse, rinse and then rinse miracle noodles before using them as they have a "strange" odor. Not a bad ordor--just strange.

They work for me. I hope you will give them a try.

Good luck. Let us know if you try them and your thoughts.

Prayers going up.

I enjoy Shirataki noodles. I completely agree that it's helpful to rinse them before you use them. They do indeed taste like whatever you cook with them. I use them in stir-fry and other Asian inspired meals.

I have tried and tried again. I have rinsed them, dried them in a pan, tried different brands, with different sauces, watched countless you tube videos on preparing them, I so wanted to like them. But I can't. I just can't do it. To me the texture is just downright disgusting. Chewy and gross, no matter what I tried. Gelatinous worms. I gave up.

Personal taste. Everyone should give them a try. If they work for you, I'm jealous. Me, I am OK with the occasional Atkins frozen Pasta meals and if I get the urge to actually cook Pasta, a tiny portion of Dreamfields will hit the spot. I have also done just fine with the noodles in Progresso Soups. I don't eat those often, but what I have had has not halted my progress.

Good luck :)

I buy Shirataki noodles all the time, I really like it and as others said, rinse, rinse, rinse. The texture is different, but I'm ok with it.

My main go too "pasta replacement" is roasted spaghetti squash. I buy the frozen turkey meatballs from trader joes for a quick meal w/marinara sauce or Pasta sauce(not a lot) and some Parm cheese & my spaghetti squash, viola! Spaghetti and meatballs

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
