Have any of you heard of or tried Miracle Noodles? They have no calories and no carbohydrates.

1. my boyfriend told me that he had a miracle noodle

but I think he got that term confused with "3.5 inch floppy".

3. These sound like they might be ...

... the same as Japanese "yam noodles", in which case they're basically flavorless, but have a satisfying chewy texture. They make for pretty good ramen. The Japanese version is also available as "yam cake", which is good for cutting up and putting in stir-fries and the like. It's sometimes "flavored" with seaweed, but even the green flecked version has very little flavor at all.

5. Thanks! I just ordered them!

I ave tried subbing spaghetti squash for pasta dishes, but it releases too much liquid and the sauce soon gets watery. I'd love to find a better substitute for pasta and rice :-) I'll review here after I try it!

6. Sounds good. There's also kelp noodles

I haven't tried those either yet b/c I hear they can be found a lot cheaper . . . .if I knew where to look -- anyone?

7. I have tried them, they're not too bad. Make sure you rinse them well too get

rid of the smell. Daughter is a picky eater and she even agreed they were "do-able".

11. I received them yesterday and tried them tonight...

So far I don't like the texture. I tried them to sub for spaghetti tonight. I may try a stir-fry tomorrow.
