I've never needed to boil them, but you do need to dry cook them (either dry fry or microwave for about 5 minutes. Their colour and texture change immensely.

Suddenly these are in all the grocery stores in our rural county. I like the zero noodles best, but the plainh ones from the oriental grocery in the college which were 0 calories smelled better out of the package. They have a different chemical in them than the Nasoya plain ones.

I'm just throwing them into miso mushroom soup, but I'd love to find some other good 50 calorie recipes for them. Any ideas?

I buy the basic noodles in France - in carrefour in the health food bit or in the asian supermarket, they cost less than 2 euros a pack.

I have only had them a couple of times in pho, never found any strange taste issues but I did rinse them first.

Crikey, that would be handy but I've never seen them over here (are you in a large town?). Could you give me the make please so that I can ask for them. Ta ever so

Shirataki are just normal food in Japan. I eat them all the time. I don't mind them. They remind me of glass noodles in texture.
