ok here's the trick- you need to marinate them in something acidic (i use lime juice) for a while before you eat them so they soften like real noodles. I usually give them a few hours or even overnight. I make a sauce out of nama shoyu, orange juice, garlic, ginger, and a little sesame oil. I usually like to chop up some veggies like peas, carrots, celery, bell pepper, whatever you like and let them marinate in the sauce also. Then when everything is done soaking you just mix it together and it's like teriyaki noodles- very yummy. You could also add almond butter and make it like a peanut sauce. I also use kelp noodles as filling for nori rolls instead of rice, and I love to put them in miso soup with lots of green onion. For some reason I only like them in asian style recipes, I have always thought they tasted gross with marinara. Have fun!

WOW. Krose gave it all to you for sure.

I will offer up - after preparing as Krose says below .. make a pesto sauce and have some fun!!
Pesto base is good with either walnuts or pine nuts. Either way is great.

Thanks KFKC, I'd considered the pesto route but wasn't sure if it'd go. Do you soak yours too?

yes .. and do something VERY fun ... put them in the dehydrator AFTER you add the sauce of choice ... warm them up a bit and WOWOWOWOWO ... yes. About 2 - 3 hours .. does the job. Make our jaws drop and send a pic when you can. I will post a pic of what Chef Ito does with them at Au Lac. :))
