The new super noodle is everywhere right now. You can hardly turn on a cooking show without seeing Shirataki noodles being used. After all what could be better than a low carb, low calorie, gluten free, healthy guilt free pasta.
Well after doing extensive tastings here's what I found. They seem to have a love hate relationship with my family. I love them the rest of my house hates them. These noodles are not at all like a traditional gluten filled Italian pasta. They are much more an Asian noodle. They work wonderfully in a stir fry, miso soups and all kinds of dishes on the Asian side. As for the Italian side I found them to be a little to mushy and chewy to work well. I will say they have a bit of a funky smell when you first open the package. After rinsing the noodles the smell goes away but I think that may have been what turned my family off.
I would recommend getting a package and trying them for yourself. check out the link below for more info on these noodles. They also have some recipes on their website you might want to try.
