Shirataki Noodles are acceptable for every phase of SB.

Here's a little info about Shirataki Noodles, made from tofu and a Japanese yam (also known as Konjac):

They're about 96% water and 4% soluble fiber. So its a great low carb noodle! They are a very traditional Japanese product. The word shirataki means "white waterfall," because of the appearance of these noodles. They are translucent and have no discernable taste of their own. But they easily absorb flavors from the other ingredients they are cooked with. So go ahead and use them as you would any other noodle or pasta They can also be sauted in a pan with garlic and soy sauce.

The noodles come packaged in water in a plastic bag. I've also heard they come in cans, too. Please drain the noodles well before cooking. The noodles can stay at room temperature for about one year. Do not freeze. To cook, simply steam, saute or boil for 3-5 minutes. Then add them as an ingredient to any other dish. You can even use them cold with a simple dressing.

Does the Teryaki glaze have 3 grams of sugar or less per serving? I would really like some asian food with a little teryaki or Hoissan flavor but have shied away due to sugar contents. What brand do you use if it is low sugar?

Thanks!

Jehling makes a terriyaki sauce that's got 1 gram of sugar per Tablespoon.

I ordered some sauces from Netrition yesterday. They have a Hoissan. I put it in another post on the board. I'll see if I can find it.

I bought the barbeque and the sweet and sour, I think. I should have them by Friday!

This is wonderful! I just went online and ordered 4 types of sauces. I ordered the BBQ, the Hoisson, the Spicy Peanut and the Cocktail! If I like these, I'll try the Teryaki and others!

Thanks so much Luv2!!!!!! These are the types of products I've been looking for and missing in my pantry even since I went low carb! Carb Options was the only Splenda bbq sauce I had found on the shelves and that is gone!!

how were these sauces Mindy?

I liked the spicy peanut and the cocktail sauce but probably won't order the other two again. Found a low sugar hoison locally so that takes care of that one. The bbq sauce is a mustardy type. I like the sweeter kind like the Carb Options, so this one isn't my style, though I will use all of them up. The are all good in their own way, but only the two I mentioned at top are worth ordering again...

I didn't like the BBQ sauce. I'll probably go back to the Walden Farms brand, even though I'm not quite sure of what the heck's in there that makes all of their products zero calories! :speechless:
