The angel hair moreso than the fettucini. They also make it with and without soy. The noodles with soy had a few more calories, but not many. I didn't think the addition of soy made a big difference in their taste. I think the width of the noodles seemed to make a bigger difference. I guess you'll know how well you like them sometime next week! I can't wait to hear what you think, or if you come up with an interesting way to use them. I also made a noodle kugel with them that was mostly eggs, splenda, cinnamon and milk. I just took a standard kugel recipe and substituted shirataki for the egg noodle and splenda for the sugar. Another tip I just remembered. They're usually really long. While I have them in the strainer being rinsed, I take a pair of kitchen scissors and cut them up a little shorter. I'm betting as more of us demand them, more stores will start carrying them. I asked my local health food store but they kinda dropped the ball. It could be that none of their suppliers carry shirataki so they'd have to find a special source. I guess it's not so bad to mail order them but the shipping's a little pricey since they come packed in fluid and they're heavy. I bought mine from konjacfoods.com.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 I know what you mean. I lost 28 lbs LC on Atkins and I'm eternally grateful. I missed my fruit, milk and even oatmeal, so I switched as well. I'm going grocery shopping for some SB friendly recipes. Lilith wrote: > Hi all, I am new to the group.
