Ok. Has anyone tried tofu noodles? Are they comparable at all with real noodles or even rice noodles? I'm super excited if they are!!!!

I saw them on qvc....interested to see an answer!!

I can only attest to having tried the Shirataki Tofu Noodles. They are serviceable, but do not expect them to have the same taste or texture as traditional Pasta. The texture is quite different.

Right out of the bag, they have an unusual aroma. Perhaps "odor" is a better word. They need to be rinsed a bit, dried off a little and then boiled for a little bit. Do a Google search to get a better idea of how to handle a package of these noodles. It's been a while since I've dabbled with them and my memory isn't so great. Adding or cooking them with a good sauce can help.

If you haven't tried them, then maybe get just 1 package and give it a try. I was able to locate the noodles in my favorite Asian market as well as my local Shop Rite.

Try yam noodles. You can get them in the cooler section at a whole foods/co-op, asian food store or international grocer. NO calories, you don't have to cook them, just rinse and add them to your dish. They taste just like rice noodles! A friend gave me some and I was amazed.
