I tried some shirataki noodles tonight – I highly recommend them. They have a “fishy” smell right out of the package, but are utterly tasteless. I tasted them before and after rinsing with water and could not taste a difference. I made sauce (Classico roasted garlic out of a jar) with onions, garlic, mushrooms and hamburger. Once the sauce was ready, I stirred in the noodles. The texture is a little different than regular spaghetti, but so close you won’t notice a difference.
Less than 1 gram of carb per pack, and listed as zero calories. Very cool stuff. I also tried a variant that looked “seasoned.” The noodles where brown with dark flecks in them. This turned out to be seaweed. These did have a subtle “fishy”/seaweed taste that I did not like. The seaweed version had 5 calories per pack.
