We have a healthy store in an ajoining town, I'll see if they carry this brand. I'm not so worried about the smell since it washes away. My fiance like his pasta w/butter & has meat & sauce seperately. This will definitely be a test seeing if we like it. Might surprise myself!
thanks MSW!

It's that rubbery I'm scared of! lol I've looked at them several times in the store but just haven't dared to try yet. Thanks for letting me know Lisa.
Wow...the Lisa's are here tonight!

The only brand I've tried is Gourmet Family. They are firm like Asian cellophane noodles. They do not taste of or feel like spaghetti in any way. There is a bite that's almost seems rubbery, yet they are not chewy.
The brand I mentioned is 100% alimentary paste of konjac yam flour. Some noodles contain a soy/ yam blend. I can't comment on their texture. This brand also rinses clean in seconds. Just pour in a strainer. The odor that bothers some folks with these noodles was non existent.

I do like spaghetti squash & use it occasionally. Thanks for your input Lisa!

That;s a lotta coffee! I also am a big coffee drinker, and I've always marvelled that a lot of very successful WLSers have a big coffee habit. Do you think there's anything to that? These threads, too, are often rife with people listing coffee, mocha, chocolate .... repeat.

Whoops, we posted at the same time!
The noodles should not have a "fishy" smell -- They get rinsed, and thereafter should smell like ... well, like nothing.
If they smell like fish, something is wrong with the noodles!

They are yam-fiber noodles, a soluble fiber, and they are sort of permanently "al dente" -- maybe even slightly rubbery by comparison to regular pasta. These noodles do not ABSORB sauce, they sort of get coated by it. They arrive packaged in water, and never get that soft, squishy feel.
These are much more expensive than regular pasta, but if low-carbing it keeps you from enjoying pasta altogether, then this is a nice treat! I can honeslty say that my children not only accept, but actually prefer shirataki noodles. First of all the flavor is fine. Second, it doesn't leave them in a gluten opioid coma afterwards.

YES my dear, they are exactly like over-cooked pasta (to me.) I couldn't handle the texture or the fishy smell but some people swear by them! I prefer spaghetti squash for my faux-pasta fix. Mmmmmm.
Topic: Shirataki noodles question--Are they firm-al dente or
are they soft like over cooked pasta? I can't stand soft pasta, so I haven't given these a try just because of how they look in the package. I'm hoping I am wrong...
