Has anyone tried shirataki noodles or miracle noodles. I also heard of miracle rice or Love my rice I was wondering if that was any good. Trying to find alternatives and recipes. People are raving about it but I used to love pasta and rice so would like to see if this really would be a great alternative.

I would buy one bag and give it a try.... rinse the heck out of them, they have a fishy odor (even though there are no fish involved.) I have used them in the past when I did all kinds of crazy diets, but was really never a fan. A strong sauce or soup broth is the only way I could eat them... Now, 2 mo after bypass, I don't think that I could eat them if I wanted too!

I love them, and I'm a die-hard pastaholic. They have a somewhat neutral flavor so they taste best with flavorful sauces.

Thanks for this. I bought some last week but haven't tried them yet. I'm reluctant to give up pouch space for something with no nutritional value. When I use them I'll pair them with seafood or fish and see how that works.

I love pasta and I hope these taste somewhat like pasta. Does it taste or smell like fish. What type sauces do you use? Did you ever try the rice one?

Try zucchini pasta it's so good tastes just like pasta! Yum yum

I haven't tried the rice ones. These do smell like fish when you first take them out of the package, but if you rinse them really well, that'll take care of the smell.

In my opinion, they don't really taste like semolina pasta, but they have a satisfyingly firm texture and you can use them everywhere you would use pasta. Just my opinion, but I think they work better with Asian sauces then they do with Italian sauces. Stir fry sauce, voice in or some other Asian stir fry sauce are really good on these. They're perfect for soup too. I hope that helps!

That should say hoisin sauce, not voice in. Talk-to-text has a mind of its own!

I'll second zoodles. I cook them up with a little olive oil, and put some sauce in them. So good!

I love zoodles too. Some sautéed chicken and a little alfredo sauce. Yup.

Thank God years ago I stopped eating pasta, the only ones I eat is ravioli and lasagna because involve more protein than carbs. I don't know if when I start eating that will be a choice.

OMG I loves me some Zoodles with meat sauce. I am a carboholic and never thought I could live without pasta but I have. I saved one box of vermicelli to be enjoyed on my birthday but I ended up just throwing them out. Praise God!

I prefer zoodles to shiratake... I have tried the rice kind, but only in soups... they make little wedding soup balls too, they were pretty good in a homemade soup. Cook the broth with parmesan cheese rinds, gives a ton of flavor!
