The FastDay Forum

I'm not fasting today, but we both want the lovely low cal curry that we love and ....... really wierd, I PREFER to have zero noodles than ordinary rice or noodles

How TOTALLY SPOOKY is that?

I'm actually thinking ... hmmm I'm not fasting today, I should be eating normally, but my taste buds are wanting zero noodles

I'm worried

I would be VERY worried if I were you!!

I tried them today. I like them but I wouldn't choose them on a non-fast day.

I love these. They definitely take time to get used to but I think they are a pretty good alternative to normal noodles considering they are virtually calorie free. I bought 20 packets when they were on offer at Holland & Barrett with free delivery. I think it worked out at about £14 in total. They are 200 grams and only 4 calories per 100 grams so 8 calories in pack. Bloody marvellous and filling. I just wish I had more ideas of what to cook them with.

What are zero noodles?

I thought to start with, but they've gone & sneakiky crept up on me!

tink59 see here http://www.zeronoodles.com/?sid= available from Holland & Barrett

Both hub and I prefer them.
Pad thai noodles, singapore noodles, chicken stir fry, beef stir fry. Our list is endless.
It helps that we have a fridge/freezer full of lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, galangal, fish sauce, ginger, chillies, garlic etc.

Full house already!

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaa haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!

Penny, I'm jealous of your freezer full of Thai ingredients. There are so many I can't get in Okinawa, in spite of historical ties (Okinawa even has special permission to import Thai rice to make the local liquor awamori. This is a very big deal in Japan).

Japanese eat shirataki ( their name for zero noodles) by choice. It's on my list of foods here that I'm indifferent about. Though that opinion was formed before I knew they were high fiber/ low cal.
