Hey, we're the same height with almost the same goal!

Two words: Pad Thai.

It certainly does make a great Pad Thai.

Using the fettuccini ones from House Foods, DH made a lasagna-like dish by alternating the noodles with strips of zucchini (along with the regular lasagna ingredients). One layer of noodles, then lasagna filling, then a layer of zucchini, lasagna filling, repeat. It was awesome!

I cant find the ones with added Tofu anywhere, can only get the plain ones and I can't stomach the texture...Anyone know of any mail order firms that sell them?

Niknak - I have only ever found the plain ones for sale in UK. They are kinda rubbery, but I like them. I can't eat soy, so the tofu ones would be off limits anyway.

House Foods Tofu Shiritaki noodles and Fettucine style are a blend of shirataki and tofu which gives them a superior texture to pure shirataki noodles which are very 'bouncy' and difficult to chew.

the blended ones apparently have very close texture to real pasta and since even these ones are two thirds fibre, they are excellent for every stage of LC programs.

I'm fortunate to live in a very asian section of my city because i can get these anywhere....

also, a little of these noodles goes a long way, a small package will definitely serve two no problem. very filling and you stay full for a long time because of the fibre....no 'starvin marvin' feeling in your stomach after an hour....

Thanks guys! Gotta get some somehow!

I traced this thread from a link to the shirataki noodle article on my site - thanks!

I'm curious - in the past 2-3 weeks, this hits on this article have absolutely gone through the roof. Does anyone know why they suddenly seem to have exploded into the public consciousness?

All the interest has spurred me on to work on some new recipes - tonight we're having the fettucini in a red pepper cream sauce with chicken. I'll post the "keeper recipes" on my site within the next week or two.

It's just one of those things. Kinda like when Atkins became wilely popular a couple years ago.

I think there must have been an article or news story somewhere. The views of that page went up 4700% in two weeks! Very strange.

Anyway, I forgot to say that the Trader Joes near me carries the fettucini type and the Safeway near me carries the spaghetti type. (I live in California.)

I paid $1.99 at the local oriental food store for the kind with tofu. The package was 8 ounces (2 servings). I ate the whole package and it was too much - those noodles seem to expand in the tummy and I ended up way overstuffed!

The texture is nice, kinda springy... I noticed I didn't get the sleepy feeling afterward because the noodles didn't turn to sugar in the tummy. I think the longer you boil them the springier they get.

There was an article in First magazine, Sept. 18 issue page 32.

I can only find the konnyaku type (without tofu) here in UK.
Do any UK Atkineers know of a source for the tofu shirataki noodles?
I would like to see whether the texture is nicer.
