This is taken from Hungry-Girl.com:
"Here's the deal with the tofu shirataki noodles. For starters, they should be rinsed thoroughly. They come floating in lime water, which some say has a little bit of a fishy smell, so rinse them well and don't bother sniffing them. There's really no need for that. They also need to be dried thoroughly. Once the noodles are rinsed, dried and nuked for a minute or two, you're ready for action. Personally, I think these noodles are much better suited for a cheesy sauce, over a tomato sauce -- so typically I melt some Laughing Cow Light cheese on them (check out Fettuccine Hungry Girlfredo), and often mix in things like fat free sour cream, or lowfat parmesan cheese, etc. They are also unbelievably delicious in chicken soup. You can easily make your own guilt-free version of "Oodles of Noodles" at home using them. Another great place to use 'em is in stir fry dishes. Do these noodles taste EXACTLY the same as pasta? No. I'm not going to lie to you. But, considering they are healthy and have 1/20th the calories of pasta, they are an INCREDIBLE swap. I have had shirataki taste test parties at my house, and dozens of people who are really opposed to "diety" foods LOVE them. Don't give up yet!"
