Noodles/Dumplings
Anyone have a recipe or a source of commercially made noodles or
dumplings that are "T2 friendly". TIA |

Noodles/Dumplings
Low carb pasta that tastes good, is the holy grail of the low carb
community. Sadly I have not found any that are at all edible. However, if there is an Asian community near you, Shiratake noodles make a good substitute for some dishes. Their texture is more bouncy than wheat based noodles, but they have 0 carbs.

I was at our Asian mart the other day and couldn't find them. Is there
somewhere online where I could find them. The guy at the store showed me some noodles but they still had 30 gr carb. I've been using whole wheat pasta. I can do about 3/4 of a cup without a problem. -- c website http://www.plazaearth.com/philo "Jennifer" > wrote in message ... > Low carb pasta that tastes good, is the holy grail of the low carb > community. > > Sadly I have not found any that are at all edible. > > However, if there is an Asian community near you, Shiratake noodles make > a good substitute for some dishes.

They would be in the refrigerated section, packed in water like tofu.
I've not seen them online, because they need refrigeration. Where do you live Colleen? Jennifer Colleen wrote: > I was at our Asian mart the other day and couldn't find them.

They are always in the refrigerator section next to the fresh noodles, but they are in those little aseptic packs with water, like the Silken type tofu. I prefer the ones that are shaped like seafood to the vermicelli noodles. My stores all sell the ones shaped like shrimp, scallops, calamari, or sometimes farfalle (bowties). They actually have a texture when cooked that is similar to plump shrimp. The sizes as I recall are between 200 g - 240 g, and usually are priced at about CAN $1.99. You just rinse them off in water, and heat in hot or boiling water or soup for a minute or two and they are ready to eat. My meter has verified that they have almost no effect on my BG's. I believe many Keto brand products are made from the same flour, which comes from a special type of tuber or "yam". However, I have only found their products available on-line (in Canada), and the prices are outrageous at about CAN $5.00 to $6.00 for a 500g package. Dennis (Type 2) -- "We can't help it.

Milwaukee, Wisc. We have an organic food store we shop at. I'll try them
next. Is there a brand name for this? -- c website http://www.plazaearth.com/philo "Jennifer" > wrote in message ... > They would be in the refrigerated section, packed in water like tofu. > > I've not seen them online, because they need refrigeration. > > Where do you live Colleen? > > Jennifer > > > Colleen wrote: > > I was at our Asian mart the other day and couldn't find them.

I remember someone posting that they bought some online. Can't remember the name of the website, but I do remember that they had to pay a lot for shipping because they were sent on dry ice. -- Type 2 http://users.bestweb.net/~jbove/ |

Try doing a search for gluten-free or GFCF pasta and you should come up with
quite a few alternatives. Many of these will be carby, such as corn, tapioca, etc., but some will be ok, like bean and some rice flours. I have a ton of bookmarks for online sources of wheat-free products (since I also have celiacs). If anyone's interested, just let me know and I'll post them.

I have a recipe that might substitute for noodles, but it doesn't indicate
its trying to pretend to be noodles. The recipe I have calls for beaten eggs, but I will use eggbeaters. You cook a thin layer of egg,about the thickness of a crepe. Make several att the same time and then cut them in strips1/4th inchwide, ,give or take.(I"m sure you have seen them in Chinese dishes, in soup or garnish) Use them as noodles,-- would probably work better serving them mixed in rather than using them under what you intend to serve.
