NWR- Anyone ever heard of or tried NoOodles? They are apparently a new product from Japan.

Those are also know at Shirataki Noodles, Lisa Lillian cooks with them all of the time and loves them....

I've yet to work up the courage to try them.

I heard about these last year. Everything I read said they were extremely "chewy" and rubbery. Not very noodle like.

We eat them from time to time. Not my favorite.

You have to soak them and rinse them several times because they smell bad if you don't. Like sour fish. Ugh.

We usually mix them with DreamFields Pasta so we can have more but not up the calorie//carb content. They are not something you can just sprinkle cheese on and eat.

In order to enjoy them to their fullest, they need to be mixed with something very moist and flavorful, and they need time to absorb the flavor. It's not a quick absorption.

Good luck and best wishes!

Thanks, the chef on QVC was rinsing and draining them, then putting them in a saucepan to "cook" off the rest of the water before adding different things. One she did just like regular spahgetti and another she did pesto and mushrooms. I eat way too many carbs, so I was hoping this might be something to substitute in for regular pasta everyonce in a while just to help with dieting.

I've had them. I'm not a huge fan. Time of Our Lives is correct; they really stink at first. Their texture is really strange, like a gummy ramen noodle. I've tried them with spaghetti sauce, but it really wasn't strong enough to mask the gross texture.

Best of luck!

I'm not a picky eater, or have texture issues but these noodles are so chewy and rubbery that I could barely choke the first bite down. So proceed with caution lol but if you can get over the texture you'll be good lol

I've used them quite a bit. . .make sure you rinse them VERY well.

They are best IMO in Asian type dishes (wasn't thrilled when I tried them with spaghetti sauce)

These noodles are kind of spaghetti shaped, but clear-ish and more chewy. They have a bit of a plastic-like smell when you first open the package, and the texture is different from noodles you're known before, but if you're up for being adventurous- don't discredit! I tried my first pack today and mixed them with a spoonful of spicy Thai peanut sauce, then microwaved. They had pretty good flavor absorption but I had to re-drain because they got watery sitting in the bowl.

They definitely filled me up and I had no belly complaints.

I look forward to experimenting.... Next time I'll try rinsing like others said, definitely drain longer, and maybe skillet-cook or let them sit in whatever flavor/sauce longer?

I mean, hello... 0 calories? I'll put in a little effort
