Shirataki is a decent substitute for bean thread.... I have seen the
tofu noodles in Japanese markets--they are packed like shirataki, in
tubes with water. I have not yet worked up to trying them.

Some folks use cauliflower shards (grated?) as a rice substitute.
Depending on whether you find Dreamfields a pro or a con, one could
probably break that up to approximate rice/orzo. I wish they would make
orzo, which I think would sell VERY well. Last time I checked, their
contact url didn't work....
