I can't help you on the shiratake noodles but I do have an alternative
you might be interested in. Can you get spaghetti squash down under?
If so it makes a suitable substitute for spaghetti. Depending on the
sauce you use the resulting dish will be low carb. I think tomatoes are
higer carb veggies.
