I really think they'd be good as a cold noodle salad. Some carrot, ginger, scallions, shrimp or chicken, with some sesame oil and some vinegar. =)

Oh, and I like this preparation suggestion

Might have to de~funk them first tho. Did you parboil yours? I usually so mine.

No par boiling, but I did rinse and dry them. they did have a funky smell to them. I looked at the ingredients and there was seaweed in them. Probably those were the black spots, but prob that's what made them smell too?

No seaweed or black spots on my yam noodles. I bought the House Foods brand like I buy for the tofu shiratake noodles.

My tofu noodles smell like funk too tho

I'mmaking other half tonight. Alex love the spaghetti squash if I make it spicy and garlicky and with shrimp

capt_noonie · 04-23-2013, 02:03 PM

I like it really garlicky too! Still haven't had any with shrimp. I had left over tri tip that I put in the sauce to use up instead of bringing out shrimp from the freezer. I made one small one last night and still have a lot leftover!

This time they came out very good! I think for this particular type, these are best eaten cold, like Korean glass noodle salad.

I used the noodles with baby carrots, ginger, scallions, chinese pickles (cucumber and turnip, which had some spiciness to it), shrimp, and to up the weird factor, a thousand year old duck egg. For the sauce, sushi vinegar (not too sour and a tiny bit sweet), bit of soy sauce, sesame oil. Also I reserved most of the broth from cooking the shrimp for a more shrimpy taste.

This made two servings, I finished up the rest today for lunch. Really healthy, and the only oil was from the sesame oil, which is supposed to be good for you anyway. The noodles are very substantial and I really felt like I was eating carb noodles. The texture feels good when eaten cold. Hot, not so much.

Give it a try! Omit the 1000 year old egg if you want, of course.
