Barenaked noodles

So I really love pasta and stuff but need to cut it out. I have found these noodles which are no sugar and very low carb. They are pricey though so wondered if anyone had tried them and if so... what are they like?

Or. Does anyone have any good other products like them? I’m wary of shirtaki noodles as apparantly they smell fishy before cooked and that’s one thing I wouldn’t be able to deal with.

Anyway I will stop rambling. Link below if it works .

Thanks for reading xxx

So far as I know shirataki noodles are made from konjak flour as are these?
They are ok as a transport of sauces but are pretty bland themselves..
Personally I just make what ever I would have used as sauce and employ a spoon to transport it from plate to mouth and save the money on the "noodles" naked or otherwise. But that's just me...
 
There's quite a difference in carb values on these Konjac rice/noodle alternatives so check the nutritional value, although they are all promoted as low carb, you are supposed to wash them before using which get's rid of the smell and you can't smell it when they are cooked, but if you can't do without the noodle/rice/spaghetti part of your meal then they are an ok alternative, just bland. I have tried them a few times and they are ok, but I prefer making courgette spirals or cauliflower rice and less expensive.
 
Thanks guys. I probably won’t bother. Unless I find them a lot cheaper just to try.

Cauliflower rice is intriguing. I’m going to try this :)

Thanks again xx
 
I've never really liked the prepackaged low carb noodles or pasta, I've always enjoyed zoodles (Zucchini), caroodles (carrots) and cauliflower rice. Which are much healthier and lower carb to eat and doesn't take long to cook and can be eaten raw with other stuff.
 
What you basically need is a carrier for the sauce. Get a spiralizer and try the courgette noodles.
 
Can confirm that spiralised courgette is amazing and fried rice made with cauliflower or broccoli rice is delish too! Much better than the konjac noodles/rice.

I also like to note that if you have the time you can try making pasta using almond flour. It is a keto and LCHF friendly alternative :)

You got a recipe for that or is it the same ingredients as normal pasta but just with the substitution?

It's an interesting thought!

I've read some people add tapioca flour which T2's might not be a fond of because of the carb content.

https://www.gnom-gnom.com/grain-free-keto-pasta/ - I've found this recipe without tapioca flour, but instead coconut and almond flour with xanthan gum, I guess it stop it from falling apart.
I've seen people bake bread, muffins, cake etc with almond flour.

https://tasty.co/recipe/2-ingredient-pasta - I've also found this one which is cheese and eggs (not vegan friendly) but it is interesting to see pasta made with just those ingredients.
 
I've baked with almond flour too - it works very well.
 
I use the bare naked rice and find it a good alternative if a little bit pricy.

Amazon or any health food store has it. But have a look in wholesale food places like Costco and Makro
 
I have never found konjac to be the least bit fishy and you can get on Amazon at subscription prices.Good in a stirfry for a change.
