Reb I don't know why they are called drunken noodles.  Maybe because they are in sauce but a lot of noodles are.  Mike those were rice noodles that have the carbs.  I have used the Sirachi [sp] noodles before that have 0 carbs.  They were good with good texture.  But they come in a plastic bag with liquid.  You have to rinse them real good and then simmer them for 10 minutes.  They have kind of a oder when you first open the bag and that's why you have to rinse them.  Great for diets.  They come in two forms.  Spaghetti type noodle or the kind like in my pictures above.  good luck.

it's said they are called drunken noodles because the hot seasonings when it's made and thus folks were drinking more to wash that away..  that's what I read anyway....

Ya noodles with 0 or few carbs is what I need.  I wish you could buy them dehydrated.  Do they have extra wide egg noodles too?

Yes, they have wide too.
But, I bought a 6 pack of these. They did not agree with me or the wife. We only made one meal with them and are afraid to try them again.

We rinsed them a few times, then added them to spaghetti sauce.
And yes, it was shooting out both ends.

A person doesn't forget those experiences.  Must have been a bad batch.

Nope, I have 5 more bags.
That's why I was asking RH what his experience was when he tried them.
I didn't simmer them for 30 seconds, like he posted. But, all it says on the bag, is to rinse them well.....

HD I never had a problem with them.  The key to these is that you have to rinse them well and then simmer them for about 10 minutes.  I think you skipped the simmering part and that did you in.  Just my guess.  I also check the code dates on everything I buy.  But I spend time on the rinsing.  Even after the 10 minutes of simmering I rinse them in cold water again.  I do that with all pasta because I make the pasta ahead before the main ingrediant like a sauce is done.  It keeps the pasta from sticking together.  There is another dry pasta in a box that have less carbs [I forgot the name brand] that they sell at Target.  I'm going to check that out.  I don't think that if you have pasta once in awhile it makes much difference as far as a diet anyway.  Eat pasta every day then yep it does.  When I find the name brand I'll post it.  good luck.

I rinse and scrub all produce and fruit, (and that includes melons, BEFORE ya slice into 'em) and am nuts about checking date codes. The last two times I was in Walmart, (I'm an ALDI man now)  their pre-packaged bean dip in the deli was TWO WEEKS past the sell by date! Both times, about a month apart... Yer supposed to be checking that cool area daily! Two weeks??!! Come on!!!  :doah:

yea...the date codes on the noodles say 4/20/20...so they should be good?
still nervous...maybe try them on a weekend again. (when I have time to recover)

The directions on the the package say to rinse well and add to favorite sauce.
I'm thinking that we will need to "cook/simmer" whatever is alive, to kill it!

Oh, well...live and learn  :puke:

I just read up on those....cuz I don't know about 'em. Says to either simmer like RH said, or put in a skillet for 10 mns first.
I dunno...if ya gotta do that to be safe, I'd be chicken to eat 'em. Can ya invite Glenn over for a 'sketti dinner?   :rotflmao:

Reb, they are not that bad really.  But I'm looking for other options like the pasta I spoke about earlier.  Life is too short to worry about this stuff.  I have a neighbor lady also.  Nice lady but boy was she heavy two years ago.  Could have given a Walmart cashier a run for the money.  Last year I was getting my mail and she happened to get hers.  Havent seen her for some time since she works during the day.  I looked at her and could not believe it.  half the size.  I asked her what diet she was on.  She said none.  She said it was portion control.  Ate the same food but less of it.  So that is another option.  good luck.

I'd bet a buck she had some sort of bariatric surgery.

Wow. Losing a bunch of weight is hard.    Doing it without surgery is really hard.   Keeping it lost is really really hard.

I think it is all portion control/activity level.  Once you lessen your activity level you need to lessen your portion control.  Too bad that once we are older we can afford what we want to eat but don't burn it off as much.

Cut back, eat sensible, then exercise. Push it, push it, push it. Burn baby, burn. Burn more than you take in and away it goes.
