Bhenji, what's the deal with rice noodles? I understand they're made from white rice, so do rice noodles have the same downside to them as white rice? When I do eat rice, it's brown.

thing is these noodles are better than white rice because they are not as heavy in carb content per cooked volume and besides if you use in a stirfry you'd have way more veg so not get the spike so much due to fibre of plant matter. It's nice to have a change sometimes , I use them in high vitamin mineral density chinese veggie soups or as an add in to a stirfry and not a lot .

Yeah, it was the carbs aspect of white rice I was concerned about. Well I'll give these rice noodles a try and see how they feel to me. My first port of call will be those eggless wholewheat noodles from Sainsburys. Those would be lovely with a stir fry.

Had same issue bro. Came across these which are made from some Japanese root, they have zero carbs! Warning, they can be bland, and from my experience they work best when you go spicy with whatever you are making. Ingredients are -

Purified Water, Organic Konjac flour and Oat fibre (Juroat® flour)

For allergens, see ingredients in bold.

I used to get them when Holland & Barretts had their get one and get second for penny sales on. If you see that, jump on it and stock up on them, they have long shelf lives.

Awesome stuff, brother. I'm always up for making things spicy with ginger, chillies, etc, so that won't be an issue.

I've had a problem with carbs in non desi food since I turned 30 a couple of years back. It doesn't sit right with me at all. Even apparently okay stuff like wholewheat pasta and brown rice I can't eat too much of for some reason. Carbs in desi food, no problem, but English stuff? Nah, it congeals inside me whilst I'm eating, lol.

Thanks again.

quinoa is really good instead of rice use it in a pulao style dish and it will be very filling I'll post any good recipes i find ...chia seed is really good too can add to your smoothies to up the protein also make muesli for brekie

Penji, I saw the chia seeds today at the store and you came to mind ?. Just need to get the courage to try them out.
