I've heard talk of these on ASDLC, and there's an Asian grocery store near where I live, so I went out and bought a package. They are made from a kind of yam, and even though yams are usually starchy, the noodles are ultra low-carb.

The noodles come packed in water, in a 7-oz. packet, which looks like two smallish servings, or one substantial one.

According to the web site (forgot the URL, sorry! maybe I can find it again):

1 oz. serving: 0 calories, 0 gm. fat, 0 gm. protein, <1 gm. carb.

There must be less than .25 gm carbs per ounce, or the calorie count would be more than 0. Therefore, a 7-oz. packet would be 1.75 gm. carbs, max.

This sounds too good to be true!

I haven't tried them yet. The Japanese make sukiyaki out of them, which seems to be a sort of meat/veg/noodle stew, seasoned with soy sauce (what else?), ginger, etc. I'll let you know how the taste test goes, probably in a couple of days.
