Default Shiritaki Noodles

Just got some shiritaki noodles, and tried some at lunch. They don't taste
bad, but the texture is like chewing on rubber bands. Is there a way to make
them less rubbery?

Boiling them longer helps some, but the biggest help is
to view them as their own type of food with their own
features and expect that. Not substitute for wheat
noodles but their own type of food. That's an attitude
change rather than having any effect on their texture,
but it works okay for me.

When I used these noodles in spaghetti, I boiled them and it really
helped. They were hardly rubbery.

Susan mentioned Nutrition Kitchen Golden Soybean pasta, and I may give
them a try.

I boil them about 20 minutes, and I also add them to my sauce when it's
about ready so they can simmer in it for 5 minutes or so. That seems to
help; the last batch that I had with alfredo sauce didn't seem rubbery
at all.
