Skinny Shirataki Noodles, Pasta, Keto, Low Carb, Low Calorie, Healthy, Konjac, Konnyaku, Gluten-Free, Plant Based, Made in USA (Spaghetti, 8 Ounce, Pack of 6)

I took a change and purchased a box of the Ramen-Style "Skinny Shirataki Noodles" and I'm glad I did. These were amazing (as a "low carb" noodle) and restored my faith that I could find a noodle replacement for a Keto diet that wasn't a turn off. While a "Ramen" style, I used them in a Pho soup. I've tried two different "low carb" / Keto noodles and did not like either of them. They felt more like eating calamari than a noodle, they were so rubbery. I would prefer to stick to spaghetti squash or zucchini noodles for pastas or bean sprouts for my Pho. So far I've made these noodles for my simple Pho recipe I have (It's not authentic but more of a "fast food" Pho) and I was blown away how much I enjoyed them. While these noodles aren't the standard Pho noodle, it really satisfied my craving for a noodle. Previously, I was using the white bean sprouts in place of noodles (which are also good). Making the noodles are pretty easy. Faster than making regular pasta, as you don't have to wait for boiling water, but still requires about the same number of dishes. First you'll rinse these noodles in a colander (the noodles are suspended in liquid for preservation). This part has a bit of odor that could turn some people off. Then you'll toss the rinsed noodles in a pan with some oil to fry them for 2-3 minutes. Once they're cooked, I toss them into my Pho. At that point, I find they taste amazing. They still have a little rubbery texture but it's about as close to a noodle as I would like. I look forward to trying these Ramen noodles in a carbonara and a stir-fry to see how they behave and taste outside of a strong flavored soup. I've got my fingers crossed these might work well for these recipes as well and I might be able to enjoy some meals I've been missing on a Keto diet.

This just changed my life!!! I was hesitant because I remember how much I hated miracle noodle back in the day. This is waaayy better! One of the reviews convinced me to try it. When you open the pack it smells like fish. But like fresh sliced cod, not like crab that’s gone bad. So I drained them, rinsed them and lightly pan dried them before adding stock. But you can skip the pan frying bc when I didn’t do that, it seemed to taste the same. No fishy smell and no fishy taste! I really like East Asian style noodle dishes and this is a great replacement. I find that it’s weird with cheese or red sauce dishes, but that’s just me. Reviewers seem to find it’s just as satisfactory to them. Tried it in a Japche recipe from seonkyoung longest (I think I spelled it right)....I replaced the sugar with my monk fruit sweetener and the yam noodles with these noodles!!! Ah. May. Zing!

I literally LIVE on these sorts of noodles, but normally the healthy noodle brand sold by costco. Those are close enough to the experience of eating pasta as no never mind (the texture in your mouth is like if someone overcooked the noodles. HOWEVER they only make fettuccine type shapes, and I was looking for something more macaroni shaped, so that it would hold the cheese sauce in Mac & cheese better. Bought these... and while there are holes in the middle they're barely existent, not big enough to "hold" the cheese sauce... and then when you eat them it's ---- well I used to live in Japan and I've eaten this stuff in the traditional form -- this stuff is pretty much the same flavor as that but far milder... that's not the issue... it's that the texture is the same as the Japanese original, which is like eating rubber (which can be fun)... but when you're wanting to eat mac and cheese you don't want to hear squeaky sounds in your mouth. ALSO, this is important... humans cannot digest this stuff... as in we can't break it down with our digestive juices, so such it is imperative that you spend some serious time chewing this stuff before you swallow it or you can in fact end up in the hospital (it'll clog the pipes so to speak) ... From a diet perspective this too is a good thing... the more you chew your food the longer it takes, the more the tummy has a chance to send a message to the brain saying you're full..... with the costco brand this requirement is no biggie, you just have to remember to do it, but with this one ... squeak squeak squeak squeak squeak squeak squeak squeak in your mouth... sorry but no I spent like $30 on this, but I'm probably just going to throw them out and go back to my previous brand. Also regarding the smell, yes everyone says it smells fishy cause they don't want to describe it as what it actually smells like, which is a smell similar to VJJ... that said the smell is very slight, and becomes almost non existent after the bag has been open a few minutes, and then disappears pretty much completely with a good long rinsing .... and will be overpowered by whatever sauce you put on it... so that's not an issue as far as I'm concerned. The slip of paper they put in about the vinegar trick, is going to result in it smelling like viniger which will overpower the other smell

Most of the negative reviews are because buyers thiught it would be pasta. It is nit. It smells like bad fish when you open the package and osnt a pasta texture. Advice, if you want pasta try black bean or other grains. Tis is an orirntal noodle great if you are mixing it in a heavy flavored sauce or stir fry dish. Not gor meatballs and spaghetti. It is a bit slimy and tasteless. How to use: rinse thorughly with cold water, in strainer, for a minute to lessen the odor. Then in a hot fry pan, saute in a little oil, garlic , pepper for 5 min until it looks firmer. Then mix into stir fry or dish. Great in heavy flavored dishes. We like thai or even indian dishes like tikka marsala. It will fill your belly and be noodle like. "It aint pasta"

This is quickly becoming my favorite brand of Shirataki noodles! I've scoured the tofu and shirataki sections of my local asian markets looking for the best price and taste. I've tried many different types of noodles offered in store but I find these Skinny Noddles to have the best price per Oz, plus a decent taste and texture. I personally like the taste of seaweed Shirataki noodles, but the white noodles taste OK too! Once you get the hang of it they're easy to prepare. I drain the noodles in a colander and rinse well with cold water until the smell goes away. Then I either microwave the noodles for one minute, drain them, and then microwave again, OR I use a fry pan to rid of the excess water. You can try both ways to see which you prefer. The great thing about these is that you can treat them like pasta. I usually eat them with white onions, sauteed mushrooms, and a bit of pesto - mm! The only negatives are that this brand is a bit more rubbery than Miracle noodles - but I prefer that. Also, if you don't like them you'll be stuck with 12 packets! I suggest trying to find Shirataki noodles in a local store and try cooking them before buying 12 packs. The noodles shipped quickly and arrived with all packets nestled in bubble wrap in a sturdy cardboard box. Beware that the box and product were relatively heavy (due to the water in the packets).

First, when you open them, the fishy smell is just over powering. You definitely have to rinse thoroughly to get the smell off, but just the fact that they did smell in the first place made me a bit queasy. I was still hopeful though. So, after rinsing I dried the noodles in paper towles, then pan fried them for about 10 min on medium heat in a non-stick skillett to further dry them. They have quite a gelatinous texture, so I wanted to dry them as much as possible. No butter or oil was needed. They didn't stick. Lastly, I added these to chicken stock to make chicken noodle soup. I think I was already turned off by the smell and initial gelatinous texture. Maybe if someone else had prepared them for me and presented me with a soup I would have been able to enjoy them. But I only made it through a few bites. The texture just isn't right. Which is what I crave from a pasta.

I like shirataki noodles in general because, although they're not the same as having starch-based pasta, they're a great substitute, along with spiralized low carb vegetables, for rice and angel hair pasta. No carbs, no calories, all fiber, and can be used in any way pasta can. I like this brand in general because it seems to me to "take" the flavor of sauces and spices better than other brands I've tried (may be my imagination--but I'm sticking with this brand because of it), and also seems to me to have less of a smell (though the smell is no big deal, and goes away as soon as you drain and rinse them; and if you can still smell anything, which I can't, you can use diluted vinegar to rinse them). Last--and I may be imagining this, too-- the texture of the angel hair seems more to me like the real thing--less slippery and more "al dente" than other brands, even though prepared the same. Some ways I use the shirataki products: -- added to tuna or other fish/poultry/meat salads to add volume-- and therefore increase bulk and satiety +save on cost per portion--while adding fiber but zero calories or carbs;. added to broth to make it more substantial and filling, and more like a meal, esp. with some l.c. vegs added. The shirataki came very well packaged and arrived very quickly, so all in all, I'm very happy with my purchase and will definitely be ordering again.

I had heard so many great things about this brand and how they were just like “miracle” shirataki noodles. I MUST DISSAGREE. I have been using miracle noodle brand for years on my low carb lifestyle and these are chewy, almost have a rubbery crunch to them, and take a significant amount longer to rinse than the Miracle brand does. I suppose that they overall are a decent alternative, but they are not the same as the more popular brand. I got a box of 12 of these and did manage to use six of them in a crockpot macaroni recipe. The trick to make them palatable seems to be long cooking them to get the rubbery-ness out. They need to be dried for several minutes in a dry, hot fry pan, like any other shirataki, but longer. I really wanted to love these, as Miracle brand doesn’t have macaroni shaped, but I will pass in the future, sorry.
