Miracle Noodles?
Hey Ladies!
So have any of your ever tried these? I have been doing WW recently and I see that these noodles are 0 points. I'd like to try them but it seems you can only order them on line. http://www.miraclenoodle.com/?gclid=CP6auNys76ICFRpZiAodKi5yjA
Re: Miracle Noodles?
They look like the tofu shirataki noodles. I have tried those and could not, not, not get past the texture. Not much taste, but the texture was gross. I'd be hesitant to order 10 packages in case I didn't like it. Maybe see if the tofu shirataki noodles are available near you and compare the ingredients?
I heard about those noodles from Hungry Girl. Hungry Girl has a lot of good ideas but uses a LOT of processed foods (which is fine if you don't mind). And she puts WW values on her recipes.

Never heard of these before, but I checked out the site and they say that they're basically using konjac to make the noodles. I've had plenty of konjac jelly before in Asian desserts, and it's sort of a tough/rubbery jell-o type of thing. Doesn't have much flavor to it...not sure if I'd like noodles with that type of consistency, but maybe they process it differently so it's not so tough for noodles? I didn't know they were non-fat/non-calories/etc...I guess it makes sense that it is, although I think the konjac jelly in desserts are sweetened so they're probably non-fat but have calories anyway...
There was a big deal about kids choking on the jellies about 5-10 years ago or so. They were too tough for kids to fully chew and swallow, so I would just be careful about having your LO try it, unless the noodles aren't as tough as the jellies...otherwise, I think it should be fine, although I have no idea as to how the noodles will taste =P

I have those noodles pretty often, but always with the same flavouring of soy, stock, mirin and sugar. I grew up on the stuff so I don't mind the texture, although I could see how people might not like it.
My advice (if you decide to try them) is to cook them in a strong flavoured liquid. If you eat meat, nikujaga (you should find a few if you google it) is a good recipe to start with, although I don't know how the other ingredients would measure on the WW system.
My mom puts it in miso soup sometimes, too.
