How do you make this edible and appealing? Trying to cut carbs, but this noodle looks awful, feels slimy. Tried with a garlic-y shrimp scampi- NO!

Sorry you have had bad luck with the noodle-if you cook it for three minutes, the slimy seems to go away, and I found that by using a lot as opposed to a little, it works better. I have practically converted from my old pasta life, although on occasion..... I just need the original. And really great sauce helps-dont think of it as a pasta noodle-a friend of mine made pad thai with is and it was incredible-you just need to find what items it works well with, and which you need to use the regular noodles with.

It's important to drain and dry them thoroughly after heating them as directed. It takes some getting used to, as they are more rubbery, but very filling with much less calories. I use them with my homemade spaghetti sauce. I think the tomato sauce makes it more palatable.

They are pretty thin, but it still might make a decent spaghetti style noodle for you. We use it mostly for our carrots and cucumbers in salads. What I would do is to try a little and see how it turns out before dedicating the whole zucchini to it.

Watch some videos on wok cooking on YouTube. That's how it's suppose to be :)

For me it's ok when mixed with most other things. I like Chocolate Whey and maybe some skim milk to taste. I've also mixed it with Cytomax. Personal taste, just mix it with something you like and it's fine. I'm on my third large container and don't notice the taste any more. It's a lot better than trying to eat the large amount of veggies you are supposed to eat every day.

Hi Holly, I did not purchase it from Amazon, or from the Pioneer Co. I just bought it at the grocery store. You could use it up faster by making potato soup. It is delish. Just dice up potatoes, celery, onion, and a bit of carrot. Cook them in chicken broth. When they are tender, make up a pkg. of the peppered gravy and stir it in. Add some bacon bits, and shredded cheese if you like. Yummy!!!

I think you should be able to get it pretty fine if you use enough water and do it for long enough. Also might depend on what you are pureeing, and how soft it is when you put it in. I precooked all of my baby food so it was fairly soft, then put it in the blender. I sometimes also had to shake or stir it during the process, to move the chunks around closer to the blades. I had success even with rotisserie chicken, making it smooth. But you definitely have to add water.

I have put baked and mashed sweet potatoes through it to make dog treats. The softer texture seemed like it was a little bit messier than using meat. I'm going to try using a pastry bag next time. That might be a better option for pureed fruit too.

Did you ever buy the Hamilton Beach knife as I need to buy one for the same purpose...slightly frozen beef to cut for making jerky. I'm doing the Fast metabolism Diet by Hallie Pomroy and lost three pounds the first week and seems like all I do is eat. The jerky will be a easy snack and I made it with ground beef but will want to cut it very thin.

I personally liked the angus beef hamburger which I add salsa to, as well as, some of the flavored chicken sticks and teriyaki or italian chicken breast. I was not too crazy about the fajita steak and the butter chicken breasts. On my first order I basically selected one of most items to taste and the second order was very simple to make my selections. A side note about the vegetables - the zucchini and yellow squash are very watery and sometimes soggy when cooked which is not my preference so I tend to lean toward the other selections. When I do cook them I dump the package first so they are not as soggy. Good luck!

Definitely dehydrated vegetables. I think I remember tiny, tiny shrimp but could have gotten it confused with another instant noodle product

No problem at all! I should be able to either post a picture or list the ingredients by the end of the evening. I just stumbled upon I site while on Pinterest that may have some suggestions to help find products that will not set your allegies off. Google , Real Food RN. She has a whole site dedicated to using natural ingredients to make all sorts of everyday products.

I've tried several filling recipes . . . still working on finding one that I really love (I would like a little more flavor). Generally it is some combo of ricotta cheese, spinach, egg, parmesan cheese, garlic and other spices. I probably put about 1 tablespoon in each. I would just say to be make sure to keep it well floured because you really don't want the dough to stick.

You have to chew it, like a really soft gummy. It's not grainy. You will have to ask the company about the carb calories.

I kind of doubt it because, while it is made from a plant/root, it has been processed A LOT. Also, it is yucky. It tastes like raw fish and has a strange texture. I sure understand your wanting a noodle though! If you want to pay the shipping, I will send you the rest of our case free. :)

I think all bamboo shoots are edible, but some may taste better than others. I was going to let it get established and then test out that theory, so we shall see.

Frustrating, isn't it? I've been searching like crazy for buckwheat noodles that don't actually contain wheat gluten myself. I have to think though that the product name is acceptable in the same way 'chocolate chip pancakes' or 'cinnamon rice chex' are acceptable names. They just mean that the ingredient is included. (Still a bummer though!)

hello heather, the best solution is a immersion blender. you can puree in seconds and you can look at the puree as you are doing it to see if it is pureed to your desired consistency.less clean up than a food processor or blender. you can puree in the vessel you cooked the vegetable in. do not buy a cheap model. i would suggest a bamix, braun. or kitchenaid.search at amazon under "immersion blender". the kitchenaid with chopper looks good. it is $99. i have not personally used it.the reviews are encouraging. do your homework. read the reviews. make sure the shaft is all stainless. shaft. i have a excellent braun mr5550mbc it retails for $299. ouch! i did not pay that much. i am not sure why the price is so high. you can use it for many healthy snacks for children fruit smoothees etc. wonderful for making soups. i also have a food processor but find the immersion blender a better choice for puree. ace
