It may be that you are an individual that wants to know where can I buy shirataki noodles locally. This could turn out to be a rather difficult task to carry out depending on where you live. The quick answer to this in case you are one of the lucky ones to have a grocer like Trader Joe’s or Whole Foods then go ahead and grab yourself a few bags there. It may be that there are a few hidden small health food stores in larger areas that may be stocking them but that list is not readily available to us all to post that information. There are small suppliers all around the world so if you would like to visit miracle noodles site they have a store locator that may be able to assist you further with this question.

Just in case there may not be any listings in your local area of stores that carry shirataki noodles then one can always shop for the miracle noodles online. The site has a lot to offer us from excellent customer service that is also available through a chat line. When you buy them online you get a great recipe book and some other nice little bonuses too. So there certainly are some perks to the web solution and having them shipped right to your front door saves you a lot of time and money.

Places to Buy Your Shirataki Noodles Locally

So these are the places that I know anyone can get this pasta in their local town if there lucky to have one of these stores.

Wholefoods Market
Trader Joe's
Sprouts
Safeway
Ralph's
Kroger - Smith's
Local Asian Markets
Other Specialty Health Stores
Online in the comfort of your home with a secure website (save the gas and never fight the crowd) - never be disappointed if they are out of stock.

These noodles contain zero calories, there is never any soy added into them and there is not any gluten contained within the package as an ingredient. Since they are so popular there could be a chance of you finding them in an Asian or Japanese grocery store too. With them being made from the konjac plant which is a natural soluble fiber plant it makes this pasta very healthy for us all to consume. There are many names that they can be found under like konnyaku noodles, konjac noodles, miracle noodle to name the most popular. Please make sure to read the ingredient list on the individual packages as not all of the products are made with identical ingredients.

This food item is a wonderful alternative to regular pasta that tends to pack on an abundance of calories and it has a tendency to spike our blood sugar levels through the roof. The best part in my opinion is that I do not have to cook them. They are shipped to the customers already cooked and in a liquid solution of water. So basically it is just heat and serves up your low calorie meal in no time at all.

Rice Pudding with Miracle Rice

When I was a small child I remember rice pudding being one of my favorite treats and now I make a guilt free version. If you have not yet tried this newest shirataki version then I want you to know that it is a great alternative to any dish that you want to replace calorie with a food that somewhat resembles pearled barley. Since this is a no calorie alternative this is a perfect morning dish or an evening dessert. So I am bringing you one of the best dishes that you could enjoy today. So let me get to the recipe.

My Rice Pudding Recipe:

2 bags of miracle rice
2 cups of milk or whole cream, you can use fat free milk to make a lower calorie choice here or the cream. It is also a great decision to use half and half on these two ingredients.
2 whole eggs, if you need to use egg substitute use the amount equivalent to two. If one selects to just use the egg whites then please increase it by one.

We should use a ¼ of a cup of sugar or stevia for a sweet taste to your mouth.
I like to use ¾ of a cup of golden raisins. This should be adjusted to your individual liking.
You will need 1 tablespoon of butter, coconut oil or an alternative that you utilize instead of butter.
Add in one teaspoon of pure vanilla extract.

A ¼ of a teaspoon of cinnamon and nutmeg or the amount that is right for your individual dish.
Now you may also want to add in about one to two teaspoons of cornstarch to thicken the rice pudding recipe. There are two ways to cook this yummy creation. You can put it in a baking dish and
bake it in the oven or you can just cook it on the stove top. If you bake it in the oven make sure that the pan is greased and bake it at a temperature of 350 degrees. I think that you all are going to truly enjoy this recipe. If you do try my idea here please take a moment to share your thoughts on my creative entrée. If you are looking for other ideas using the miracle brand let me know what you would like me to bring to you.
