Thoughts on shirataki noodles as a ramen replacement?

>> No.7238804

i'm not a mindless consumer or obese so i need calories

>no guilt!
why would i feel guilty for eating noodles?

i feel like this just reinforces a culture of overeating and binging

They have the wrong texture to act as a good substitute for ramen

Yeah, that mindset is dumb and all, but they do seem to be a decent option to add with a stir-fry or soup for when you're on a cut

>>7238810
What would you say they'd be used for?

Nothing really. They're diet food. The only reason to eat them is if you want to make the food super low calorie. From a taste/texture perspective there is always something better to use.

What's wrong with that?

>>7238824
I see. Thanks for the insight. Might just stick to stir-frys in that case

>> No.7238829

I used "fettuccine" tofu shirataki noodles (10 cal per serving; 20 per package) for some shrimp fettuccine alfredo last week and it tasted fine, but I definitely am glad I used a shitton of pepper. I might make some soup with the same noodles later. Anyway, I'm sure they'd work fine for ramen replacement.

I haven't had these noodles before but I bet they'd work well for a replacement for soba. Like cold soba.

you're not eating normally and exercising to stay healthy, you're doing it to look good because you're vain

No if anything it's even worse for soba or udon replacement since those are more dependent on the flavor of the noodles and less of the sauce.

Interesting. Guess I'll give it a buy to try it out provided I'm not going in expecting anything too similar to actual ramen

If you use shirataki noodles, for mercy's sakes, at least make shirataki dishes. Don't just go blindly substituting ramen noodles with it, because it's not meant to do that.

I tried them and I didn't like them. I spent a lot of time on a pesto thing too to dress them up, but I just didn't care for them.
