I discovered this product at Whole Foods - next to the soy "miracle noodles". Looks about the same, but are very translucent. They're made of kelp, so there's no soy, which makes me glad.
I tried them last night. Out of the bag (and rinsed) they are almost tasteless, and are quite crunchy. That was a surprise!
I cut them up with scissors into short 1/2" lengths and boiled them to try to soften them up - no go. Then I dried them off and sauteed them in margarine, onion and garlic powder - still crunchy. BUT - quite tasty, and was a nice side dish to the fish we had last night.
Kelp Noodles are going to be another low carb (next to no carb - 1g per serving) food I'll be adding to my staples.
The crunch did not turn me off. Actually, it reminded me of those crunchy Chinese noodles that I haven't had in years but remember fondly. So I will for sure be using on Asian dishes.
Anyone else eaten these? Any favorite way of eating them or in a recipe?
