MIRACLE NOODLES - ZERO CALORIES

Our Honest Review

UPDATE: 10:18 PM 8/20/2009

New recipe and preparation notes
(Full Basic Recipe Way Down Below)
Sometimes you will find on the package a recipe for Fettucine or something similar with zero fat cream cheese or sour cream. We tried it, and frankly, it was less than stellar in taste.

If you can follow the recipe and have delicious results, let us know. But, low or no fat cream cheese was... not something we'll try again! The best recipe we've found so far is below.

Adding Vegetables
Notes: Some of the best vegetables to add are thin strips of sauteed cabbage with a dash of soysauce and a dash or raw sugar and tad bit of organic peanut oil. Crunchy bean sprouts add texture and freshness, and quick fried tofu with the cabbage works well.

A nice topping can be a sliced boiled egg and minced green onion. A dash of roasted sesame oil adds a unique flavor, and if you're really adventurous, you can top with slices of organic roast beef, pork or chicken.

Shrimp?
We are not fans of farm raised shrimp - but if you are, just a tiny heaping teaspoon of minced batter deep fried tempura shrimp sprinkled on top can be very tasty. Low in calories, high in flavor.

About Sauteing Your Vegetables
A teaspoon of oil is approximately 33 calories and adds just the right amount of body and richness. Do we all need a little high quality oil in our diet? Nutritionists say, absolutely. We say repeatedly, all good things in moderation. : )

Be Adventurous!
Finally - be inventive - experiment! These noodles can be very filling and satisfying! Or, if poorly prepared, boring and bland. But that applies to most every type of food, doesn't it? : )

Broth
Another trick: If you simmer the noodles with zucchini or ripe small yellow squash, the broth can develop a delicate and sweet flavor. Sauteed slivers of zucchini, celery, onions and bit of garlic add variety and taste. Toss in some roasted pine nuts. Fit for a king. Or queen.

Mediterranean
Steam fine strips of red, orange, yellow, green peppers, onions, zucchini and fresh tomato chunks. Toss cooked noodles and vegetables in your favorite extra virgin olive oil and add salt, pepper, oregano and basil. Eat liberally!

Mushrooms
Another addition are wondrous sauteed mushrooms with a splash of sweet wine tossed into the pan in the final minute. It adds a meaty goodness without meat!

Chicken Broth
If you do eat meat, then you'll enjoy simmering your noodles in home made chicken broth. The organic boxed broth is also very good.

We prepared our test noodles with a simple basic sauce of organic Soy Sauce, dash of organic peanut oil, a light seasoning touch of organic agave syrup and organic molasses.

You can use any sauce, broth or seasonings at all with these noodles.

We have used these types of noodles for years and were aware of their filling qualities, their excellent ability to absorb natural flavors and their inexpensive cost.

A Godsend?
We believe these noodles could be a Godsend to many people who are trying to cut calories and lose weight.

Reason? They're filling without side effects and extremely low in calories. They are extremely versatile can be prepared myriad delicious ways. These noodles have withstood the test of time having an ancient history centuries old.

When prepared properly, one serving can fill you up without filling you out.

Texture
In addition, they have a nice noodle texture which can be quite satisfying (albeit a trifle different than ordinary spaghetti), all for virtually no calories except for the seasonings and additions.

"Felt Good After Eating"
Another interesting quality is that these noodles seem to have extremely low allergenic characteristics.

Some of us have sensitive or compromised systems. None of us have had even an inkling of a reaction. We've always felt good after eating.

We have reacted to almost every other type of flour, grain or starch "noodle."

What are these "Miracle Noodles?"
Miracle Noodles are "naturally derived" noodles are made from a very special Japanese yam. Some varieties are made from agar-agar, a sea vegetable derivative. Alone, they have very little flavor. But as a base for a noodle dish, they can be supremely delicious. Any seasonings or spices that you use are easily absorbed.

These noodles are a Japanese staple and truly are extremely low in calories.

Alone, they have minimal nutrition as they are not supplemented with vitamins and minerals as are other noodle products.

Some have said that they are purifying. However, this has not been substantiated with any scientific experimentation that we are aware of.

We do know that we feel pleasantly satiated without loss of energy or clarity of mind after eating. We now consider them an invaluable addition to our core list of staples.

Simple Basic Recipe
With our sauce, we were full for a major portion of the day. However, if you add vegetables and your own seasonings, you will probably do just as well if not better.

We were experimenting and thus didn't do anything too fancy.

Ingredients
1 package Noodle 2 tsp. organic peanut oil (you can use organic fresh pressed vegetable oil or palm oil) 1 tsp. dark agave syrup and/or (adds a delicate body and flavor) 1/2 tsp. organic molasses or organic maple syrup 2 tsp. organic soy sauce

Heat pan, add peanut oil, then soysauce and syrup or molasses, stir and simmer lightly. Add heated noodles, stir and serve.

All types of these noodles have very little flavor on their own, so they pick up your broth and seasonings exceptionally well.

If you prefix them for lunch with vegetables and other goodies, you should be fine until supper. The calories are extremely low.
