^Cool we loved Thailand, went to Phuket a couple of years ago.
I did okay on lazy Keto, I played the long game and did not get hardcore about counting carbs. I used half and half for coffee, zero carbs.
I've heard if you rinse the shirataki noodles they are good, got a review?
cool, if you go southeast you hit phi phi then my small island (lanta) - i believe phuket was the most touristed place in the world. how dramatically down these places are now is pretty wild.
my coffee journey has gone from mochas to americanos or black coffee, although particularly with the latter i frequently like it with a snacky, thus these keto boys. brownie yesterday was good (just dry) - i'm a lazy shit but homemade protein cookies seem a good thing to make.
i'm not so lazy i won't boil water though (usually) and my shiritaki prep is:
1- start boiling water in a pot
2 - rinse noodles 2 minutes
3 - chuck into pot for 2 minutes
4 - toss dry then chuck into a non-stick pan, with nothing else
5 - keep tossing them around until they make squealy noise (2 min?)
i have shiritaki as noodle and rice, and then some that are mixed with oat fiber. i prefer the latter, they have some better chew.
they come in a bag of lime water (the mineral) and they definitely have a funky smell to them. the prep is all to get them to neutral. have a tried anything not going through the process above, no.
rice form (oat ones are fatter rice) makes straining them a little more of a pain without losing them. no oat they are squishier and even more tasteless so i think they might go well with a soup or something. i like the idea of the shiritaki rice with a thai curry, although i am not currently eating much thai (lots of oil and sugar actually) so i haven't tried a side of these with a curry vs. steamed rice yet. i mostly do the oat form with noodles, then toss on some chicken i nuked from 7/11 w/spicy thai sauce. i'm curious how the noodles would be with some meatballs and tomoato sauce, but i don't have any easy access to lazy meatballs and i'm probably not going to make them. you aren't going to say dayumn, these are the best noodles ever, and you will never have a craving for them. that being said, 200g of the oat version (decent amount) is 50 cal, 2 protein, 10 carb. for shiritaki, 30/0/6, at least of my labeled brands. they are filling and fit a low calorie budget. i'll have some 4+ days a week now. note: they have no real micronutrients and there appears to be some concern about if they will absorb them or reduce bioavailability of them with other foods? i just have them with the chicken and typically eat other filler type foods when i am doing them (like late at night when i'm working) - the only thing i really make a point of is not having my multivitamin with them.
