Great non carb noodles

I am so excited to have this miracle rice! I’ve been eating the noodles for a while now, and somehow had no idea the rice was available. I’m eating Keto, and this is the perfect way to feel like I’m eating a “normal” meal. I took leftover fajita meat and veggies, and heated them up together with the rice to make a bowl. This is a game changer! Riced cauliflower could never! Thank you, Miracle Noodle!

This is for the Angel hair pasta only. I haven't tried the others yet. Package arrived today and was just in time for dinner. I decided to do a stir fry. On opening the box I did not smell anything . Opened the plastic bag with the pasta and did not notice a fishy odor as others have described. Rinsed it in a colander and into the wok it went. I did notice I needed more seasoning than I usually do as the pasta doesn't really have a taste. The texture seemed alright too. I will update as I try the others ( rice and fettuccine ). I'm thinking chicken noodle soup with the fettuccine.UPDATE: 9/13 Did the fettuccine in a home made chicken noodle soup. Again I did not get a fishy odor as others have reported. Rinsed in a colander and put in with the chicken and other goodies. Brought to a boil and then let simmer. Flavor was good. A little more al dente that I would have liked but definitely good. Tomorrow jambalaya with the rice. Will update.UPDATE 9/16. Well the pack of rice said 8 0z. After rinsing ( again I did not detect any odor ) and drying per the instructions I ended up wit 2.4 oz. The package nutrition label said 1 grams net carbs per 3 oz of the rice. So I am not sure what the actual carbs are in the dried product of 2.4 oz. The dried 2.4 oz comes out to a little over 1 cup dry measure. Absorbed flavor but wasn't much volume.Over all am pretty happy with all 3 items. I would cut the Angel Hair and the Fettuccine as recommended since they were a bit awkward to eat.

First things first, I have eaten two out of the six packages I received and they were completely and utterly odorless. I have a keen sense of smell (usually better than most people around me) and I detected no "fishy" odor whatsoever. I ate the angel hair shaped noodles, and as a pasta lover who can't do pasta due to carbs, I am prepared to enjoy these for what they are. Think of the noodles you get at Asian restaurants when you order pho, these noodles are kind of like that. If you compare these to zoodles (zucchini "noodles") these are more like real pasta AND easier to prepare. I like zoodles okay, but don't enjoy spiralizing the zucchini - also zoodles tend to be limp and watery. These hold their shape and texture, and while they're a little bit chewier than pasta, they are close enough to satisfy a craving with playing havoc on your blood sugar. Let me put it this way - these noodles have 1/10th the calories and carbs of regular pasta and probably taste 75% as good. I think that's a win! The only thing I wish they'd do is maybe add a little color to the product so it would "appear" more pasta-like. It wouldn't change the flavor or texture, but would make it more appealing to the eye.

I've recently had to cut my carb intake considerably and discovered these. I made my first meal with them today and they exceeded expectations. I watched a few youtube videos and leveraged my own experience cooking and produced a result that was very good. My only mistake was a salted the noodles a bit more than I should've with Kosher salt but was still very good and even the kids ate it and said the noodles were good. I drained the noodles then put them in a big pan and cooked them with butter, salt, and pepper till a lot of the moisture steamed away. While that was going on I browned up a mix of Hamburger and sausage for the meat sauce with half an onion and a tablespoon of garlic. I drained the meat and added enough sauce for the numbers of servings I needed. When the noodles were cooked enough (not dry or burnt) I added the meat sauce and mixed the noodles and sauce together and then cut the noodles into it with a spatula. I let the sauce simmer together for a few minutes and then served it. The noodles didn't have any strange texture nor any particular flavor. Its very similar to a very fine pasta. My next batch will be much better now that I know what to expect. I think these noodles would work well in any seasoned hamburger meal especially the thicker varieties. I wish I'd discovered these earlier because eating these I don't feel like I'm missing anything. If I were making a dish where I was going to present the noodles separately I'd cut them up and season them with a light chicken or beef flavoring with some olive oil. Even now I don't have the typical pasta sleepy feel that normally comes from pasta dishes. That the meal tasted favorable makes this very satisfying.

I was hesitant on ordering these because of the bad reviews, but I ordered them anyways.I received them 1 week early and had no issues with my order.It took me awhile before I actually made them because I was nervous due to the bad reviews.Well, I made baked spaghetti and it turned out amazing!!After you open the Noodles you will smell a fishy scent. Once you boil the Noodles the fishy smell goes away completely.I honestly think some people who gave these bad reviews cooked them wrong or way too long.I boiled mine in a pot with water and butter. I then drained the Noodles and put them back into the pot. I simmered the Noodles to "dry" them. Once I finished doing that, I put my sauce and meat in the pot with the Noodles.Afterwards, I dumped everything in a square casserole dish, added some cheese ontop, and then baked in the oven. I seasoned everything the same way I would Season regular baked spaghetti. I wasn't sure what to expect, but I was very surprised when I took my first bite. I will be buying these again and I will stick to the Angel Hair because it's the only one I will end up using most likely.My oldest daughter is 3 years old and the pickiest child I've ever met. She LOVED these Noodles and didn't complain!My youngest daughter is 1 and I cut the Noodles up into smaller pieces for her and she also loved them. My husband is also a picky eater and he loves these as well.These are great for anyone who is doing Keto. For me, Keto is a lifestyle, not just a diet and these Noodles are perfect for getting in my fiber and veggies. I added photos of my baked spaghetti and everything I used, as well as the recipe I made. I would say a serving size is 1-2 cups. I'm not sure. I cooked 2 packages of the Noodles.I Love, love, love these!!

So far, I have only tried the fettuccini. I wanted to like this product but it fell short of my expectations , specially after all the good reviews..1- The smell: It does smell quite strong, kinda fishy, right out of the package. I followed the instructions : rince throughly ( I even soaked them in cold water for a couple of minutes ), drained, boiled for 2 minutes , drained , and finally " dried " them on the stove in a dry pan. The smell wasn't as strong after all that prep. but still noticeable if you get close to this product.2- The texture : Those fettuccini are gelatinous. It's a strange texture that could take some time getting used to . Not a fan so far.I did add them to a plenty saucy dish ( loads of mushrooms that produced more than enough cooking liquid ), chicken sausages , diced fresh tomatoes , and a little splash of sesame/ginger sauce. Kept the pan covered for a bit , hoping they would soak up all that good sauce. They didn't . The sauce won't get inside those gelatinous fettuccini.3- You can find much better no gluten pasta on the market.4- Probably ok if you are craving " pasta /carbs " in a low carbs diet since they have none or close to none calories. Personally, I think i would better skip those gelatinous " pasta " altogether , as they bring nothing to a dish, expect that gelatinous texture.I got the six packs , fettuccini , angel hair and rice. Not impressed with the fettuccini, will give these products another try , probably fish or shrimps ( mostly because they do have a faint fishy smell even after the whole rinsing, boiling, drying the directions tell us to do ), with angel hair.I am hoping the angel hair and the rice will be a bit more palatable and won't feel as gelatinous / slimy.

I preface my review with the knowledge that I have been GF for 5+ years and have been moderately low carb on and off for about 8 years. I seriously miss things like a blue box of mac n' cheese, fresh cinnamon rolls, and pizza or chinese food delivered to my house. I have had to eat healthy for so long that it's all the quick serve and takeout I miss because it's usually all forbidden. I keep hoping one day there will either be a miraculous cure for the whole celiac gluten issue and that someone will find more low carb options. I was totally up for trying these interesting noodles. I can't speak for everyone who is GF, but I know there are some odd products I have put myself through sampling in search of satisfying food.Now to the noodles....First note, yes, the noodles smell lightly fishy. The smell I associate with the packaged fake crab meat made from fish. As a lover of seafoods this didn't bother me, but if you don't like it when someone in the office is warming up a seafood dish at lunch, this might not be for you. Those who do not like sushi, or fish, or seafood in general (you know who you are) please keep in mind before purchase. You rinse them enough and the smell does mostly go away.I tried the fettuccini first and followed all directions of prep. I then added tuna and cheese for essentially a box meal tuna helper type experience.I rate the noodles as OK. The texture is a little off for me... a little slippery and a tiny bit rubbery. I also made some of the rice, just adding cheese and seasoning. Again, odd textured. So when I was going to eat the leftovers I decided to see how well they would be if baked into a crisp. I just poured the cheesy rice I had made onto a baking sheet (with nonstick spray) and put in the oven at 375. They took a while to get crispy, but tasted good and that texture issue was now gone. Crispy and cheesy, worked for me. It will be how I finish the rest of the packages. I can't say I would purchase again to use as the directions recommend, but I might order more if I want to make more crispy things with no carbs in the future.

I did not have high hopes. I'm sure many of you will do the same thing I did.... look at the item, read the reviews and either put them on your wish list to think about later or just think... are they worth the money to find out if they are as bad-or good-as the reviews say? I was still contemplating this question when my husband snuck into my account and bought them. Surprise! They arrived today--so of course I had to try them today!They stink... oh man do they stink. Something died kind of stink. I rinsed them... they stank less. I boiled them... the didn't stink at all.... I put them in a teflon pan (no oil per directions) and dried them out. Still no stink. Ok.... I tasted a piece. They taste like... NOTHING. Seriously... there is no taste. They have an odd texture... kind of rubbery, but not real rubbery. But there is no taste. What to do now? So I was fixing pan fried pork chops in butter for dinner... we have a pan with all those good scrapings, butter and grease.... and yes, we dumped these noodles in and sort of flash fried them in all that yummy goodness. And they tasted... just like what we fried them in. Pretty darn good.Do they taste like real noodles. No they don't. From what we tried tonight, they do taste like whatever your cook them in. I'll have to try boiling them in stock next time. Do they have the same texture? Nope, they have a very distinctive texture and I have no idea how to really describe it. But you know what, when you aren't eating real noodles--for whatever reason--these fill that craving. They aren't the same, but they are close enough.I didn't expect to like these, I really didn't, but I really do. Try them.... don't let the negative reviews scare you off... they really are good!

Ok, like every other reviewer has said, these are NOT like regular pasta. They are very good for what they are, but they are not regular pasta, and I don't think they're really a viable substitute for it, though people report otherwise.These are clear noodles that strike me as being most similar to rice noodles or soba noodles. They come packaged wet, in a brine type solution that yes, smells briney or fishy out of the package. I followed the directions on the brand's website, rinsed for a few minutes, then boiled for 2-3 minutes, then dry roasted in a cast iron pan to get the liquid out. I added a mixture of soy sauce, sweet Asian sauce of some kind, and chicken broth, and ate the rice version of them as a side under my peppered pork loin, and they were quite good, though I think I needed to rinse or boil a bit more because they still had a wee tad of a briney smell.I think the rice variety is better suited to soups than fried rice or lo mein type dishes, it's not really a great rice sub. I'll continue going to brown rice or quinoa to sub for rice, though I'd totally pop these into chicken noodle soup. I haven't tried the noodle varieties yet. I wouldn't do these with Italian style pasta sauces, although I guess it's possible the fettuccine varieties might work under a heavier meat sauce.Are these noodles going to be a daily staple for me? No, but they shouldn't be, either; your body needs more than just the fiber these are made of. Like I said, I'll still use quinoa and brown rice. These pretty much absorb the flavor of whatever you put them in, but they are a bit of work and the texture is not regular pasta. It's more like an Asian noodle texture, which, duh. I think they'd work best in Asian inspired dishes; pad thai, lo mein, that sort of thing. They're good, though, you just need to know what you're ordering.And seriously, rinse rinse rinse rinse rinse. It's important.

I'm writing this review in the hopes of helping other people who are on the fence about trying these. After reading other people's reviews, I had no idea what to expect. Apparently, I was going to either fall in love with this noodle substitute or be completely revolted by it. Eventually I took the plunge and bought some.Here's the lowdown:- No, the noodles don't smell great when you open the package. As others have said, they have a fishy smell. No, it is not some overwhelming stench that will knock you off your feet as some people seem to insinuate. You will have to run them under cold water for a minute or two. I guess some people can't get over this smell and decide not to even try them, but that doesn't make much sense. Lots of foods don't have a good smell or appearance before prepared, yet that doesn't stop us from eating them once cooked (eggs, raw meat, etc.). After rinsing them, boil them for a few minutes, drain them, and you are ready to go.- No, these don't taste exactly like regular pasta noodles. The texture is a little different. So if you are expecting something completely identical and indistinguishable from your favorite noodle variety, you will be disappointed in that regard.- As others have said, the best way to prepare the noodles is with an Asian-type sauce. Sure, you can use alfredo sauce, spaghetti sauce, etc. if you want. No one is going to stop you. But you'll probably be comparing it to regular pasta the whole time you are eating it and feel disappointed.- How I prepare them: I rinse and cook the noodles as stated above. Then I add some frozen vegetables, which are usually a microwavable steamers variety because I'm lazy. A "stir fry" mix like bell peppers, broccoli, onions, etc. I also add a little meat. Lately I've used stir fry beef/steak that I cut up into small pieces and cook on the stove with a little olive oil. Usually I add some spices with this such as turmeric, cumin, garlic powder, paprika, chile powder, etc. For the sauce I use a 12 oz. jar of Indian sauce purchased from my regular grocery store, like tikka masala, vindaloo, etc. Usually this is between $3 to $5. A few brands that come to mind are Patak's, Seeds of Change, etc. These have less fat and calories than most pasta sauces and seem to go well with these "noodles." I usually use three packages of the noodles when I prepare a batch and then have three meals out of it. They do seem to taste even better the next day because the noodles have absorbed more of the flavor.- No, you can't just live solely off of these for the next month in an effort to drop 20 pounds or whatever. Look at the package. It is devoid of nutrients. Even with adding the other stuff as I've suggested, you are probably not going to get all the vitamins and minerals your body needs. But you can substitute these for a very low calorie meal a few times a week that leaves you full, satisfied, and without having to suffer as many hunger pains while dieting. In the last month I've lost 7 pounds. I don't attribute all of this to the noodles. They're not a "miracle" in that sense. I've been watching my calories and doing light exercise, and these noodles have helped me with low calorie meals that don't leave me starving ten minutes later.

I first heard about these Shirataki noodles on an episode of BEGIN Japanology dealing with potatos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPwbbdo2p6cSeemed too good to be true - a food product that's almost entirely fiber, with no real caloric content? I had to try them out.To start with, I misunderstood the labeling. I thought that one of the styles was a "rice noodle" style. That isn't true. It's actually a "rice" style. They're little bits that vaguely resemble rice. The other two styles are "angel hair", which resembles a spaghetti noodle; and "fettuccine", which resembles a spaghetti noodle.I incorporated the "angel hair" style into a chicken stir-fry I was making.In researching how to best utilize these noodles I saw several people remarking on a "fishy" smell... I was really expecting more when I opened the bag, but my kitchen was not immediately flooded with the aroma of fish. I did notice, however, a distinctly pungent smell when I got my nose down close to the open bag. It reminded me more of vinegar, or rubber, or latex paint. Sharp and astringent. Not reminiscent of food, but not entirely unpleasant.After rinsing the noodles with cold water for about 10 minutes, there was absolutely no discernible odor at all. They just smelled like cold water.I boiled the noodles very briefly, then added them to a pan with some of the sauce I was using. I sauteed them for a few minutes, then incorporated them into the stir fry. And they were surprisingly decent.They didn't have the nice doughy consistency of real noodles. They didn't taste like wheat pasta. But they weren't objectionable either. They added a nice bit of texture and variety to the stir fry, and they basically just tasted like the stir fry sauce. They were very al dente, very firm and a little chewy. Not what I'd normally expect from a noodle. Almost more like meat or seafood in consistency.My wife didn't like the texture. She opted to eat around the noodles. I found them to be a nice contrast to the rest of the stir-fry and thoroughly enjoyed them. I look forward to trying out the other varieties.

I purchased this small variety pack last week. They arrived this week as expected. 2 of each came in the box. For a decent size meal for one, I used both of each pack at a time. The people on here that state they smell must have super senses because I did not smell the "order" they speak of. Then again, I anticipated one, so I immediately emptied the back out in a strainer under running water. As they tell you on the actual site, you should rinse them first for 30 to 60 seconds. I did it a little longer. They also say let them drain a bit and then lightly boil them for no more than 3 minutes. I failed to do this part but it didn't seem to matter. Once I had rinsed them, I emptied them onto a towel and patted them to get some more of the water off. Also, I should mention, the noodles are long, so you may consider cutting them while they are still in the strainer. Next I added them to a wok and let them simmer for a bit. To get even more of the water out, because they will still have some in there. You want to make sure most if not all the water is out before you turn up the heat (slightly) to finish the dish. I added my other ingredients (garlic, spices, etc) after about 3 to 5 minutes. Stir fry that. I also use Braggs Liquid Amino (no calaries and no added salt and gives them a great taste) Added other veggies and protein when they were almost done. Best noodles ever! And no calories? Today I went to their web page and ordered a bigger variety pack (on auto delivery too) and can't wait to get them. I'm currently on a VLCD and enjoy the filler. I will never eat other pasta at home again. I feel like the people who say these were not good...um, probably aren't good cooks. If you know how to cook good food using spices and good proteins this will be the best pasta dish you made.

Many hours spent on YouTube looking at some new low-carb recipes that I can start making introduced me to these Miracle Noodles. I had never heard of them in all the years I've done low-carb and I was excited to try them.Full Disclosure: I have only tried one of the three versions from this variety pack. The Angel Hair pasta is so far the only one I have tried.Cooking the "Pasta": From what others have advised from YouTube, in order to take most of the slimy feeling out of the noodles, it's best to disregard the cooking directions found on the package and instead do it this way; rinse noodles in cold water in a colander for close to a minute or so. Then heat up a non-stick frying pan and place them in there. Stir on med-high heat until most of the moisture is out of the noodles. Don't worry, this won't actually fry them up and make them crispy. This only removes the moisture and therefore lessens the amount of slim that are naturally found in this product. Once you're finished with that, you can now add any sauces or veggies or anything else you plan to add for your recipe.Taste: Even doing that frying trick, the noodles were still a bit slimier than traditional angel hair pasta so it won't be a perfect taste match to your favorite pasta dish.Good Alternative: For the stats; 0 calories, 0 carbs this is the BEST substitute for those of us on a low-carb or keto diet plan. Even traditional low-carb pastas can't claim to have 0 calories and 0 carbs like Miracle Noodle can. So these are perfect if you plan to eat "pasta" more often than once a week. If you only eat pasta occasionally then eating the low-carb traditional pastas would probably be better since those actually are noodles just made with alternative flours instead of white flour. But, if you're like me and you enjoy rice and pasta a few times a week than the Miracle Noodle and Miracle Rice may be the best route to take.

I've been eating shirataki noodles for the past 6 months and I simply love them. Pasta is my favorite dish in the world but I can live w/o it permanently if I have my shirataki noodles.Here and there I see people bashing this product and it makes me laugh. This is not a pasta or a noodle, people. This is not made of wheat. You need to understand this before buying. The look, feel, chewing experience is totally different. For me, it's a fair trade if I'm giving up 350-400 calories. And regarding the taste & smell. Shirataki products come in water which has a unique fishy smell. The only thing you need to do to get rid of it is to drain in the water for a couple of minutes. And secondly, this is not something you will want to eat w/o any sauce or flavors on top because it is tasteless! The product itself doesn't have a taste, it simply absorbs the spices and other ingredients you add. And in my experience, they are most delicious when cooked Asian style.Just one buy package and try this: drip some vegetable oil on a pan and add a clove of minced garlic. Drain your shirataki noodles with ample water for a few minutes. When the garlic is golden, add the drained shirataki and add ample amount of soy sauce. It seriously takes like 5 minutes and it's delicious and very low calorie (I took this in a lunch box to my school the other day and everyone was drooling over my plate because of the smell). There are many recipes online that also add meat to the dish and make it very fulfilling.All in all, I seriously recommend this product to anyone who would like to eat almost insant, guilt free, delicious noodles.

Okay. I was extremely skeptical of these little water-filled baggies of "fake noodles". I had read horror stories about the fishy odor and rubbery texture. As a low-carb junkie, I REALLY missed the sauces and meals associated with pasta. Enter the Miracle Noodle.Here's what I feel should be addressed:- THE SMELL. Maybe my sinuses are flared up worse than I realize, or maybe I'm at a genetic disadvantage with a lowered sense of smell. But whatever the case, I did NOT find the smell oh-so-offensive as others have described. I actually braced myself as I cut the pouch open the first time -- ready for the worst -- but I didn't smell anything until I literally put my nose an inch above the open bag. And I'd describe the smell as more of a "brine" than a "fish" odor. C'mon guys, it's not bad.- THE TEXTURE. I've found that the texture varies greatly on the preparation of the noodles. My first time eating them, I was rushed and starving... so I ate them straight out of the microwave tossed in pesto sauce. Not so great -- they were definitely rubbery this time. BUUUT, the SECOND time I prepared them, I made a creamy based sauce (melted 1 oz. cream cheese, 1 Tbs heavy cream, and 2 tsp. coconut oil, topped with some curry powder) and LET IT SIT for 2-3 minutes after preparing the dish. This way the sauce reeeally soaked into the noodles and gave them a softer and less-rubbery texture. Oh, and I just nuked them in the microwave this time, too. THIS time was good. Definitely a more "noodle-like" texture. I ate every last noodle!Also, some tips I've read are to microwave the noodles twice PRIOR to preparing them. By this, I mean: Open bag, rinse in warm water, microwave 2 minutes, rinse again, microwave for another 2 minutes, rinse one last time. At this point they're ready to prepare as desired.I'm pleased with my purchase, and I'd recommend these to people watching their glucose levels or anybody wanting a zero-carb option.

These noodles are fantastic! I've ordered the 24 pack 3 times bc i go through them so fast! the best way to cook these noodles is very simple.take a frying pan with terriaki or some kind of other than tomato or alfredo. While you rinse the noodles in a strainer, let the frying pan start to simmer. Set the noodles out for a while to dry a bit. Add the noodles to the pan and let them fry for a few minutes while they absorb the flavor. if there is still sauce in the pan- drain it! and let these noodles 'dry' fry for a bit. This while thicken the texture of the noodles and also allow the soaked flavor to be sealed in. I usually stirfry Shrimp or chicken, broccoli, mushrooms, peppers and onions, and cabbage into EVOO with garlic and a little salt- then add the FULLY sauteed mixture into the now 'dry' frying noodles...and let it sit. the taste is out of this world- it's so good that my friends thought i'd made rice noodles!To add tomoto sauce or alfredo you must first put a frying pan of extra virgin olive oil on the stove and let simmer while you rinse your noodles. let them dry just like before- then add the noodles to the EVOO on the stove. The EVOO makes the noodles thicker- they soak up the oil and become thick like angel hair. rinse any excess oil and let the noodles 'dry' fry for a few minutes. Once you done this- you will see and feel the texture change- now go ahead and add sauce to this mix- it sticks perfectly to the noodles and tastes just like the original recipe. You just have to know how to get those lil noodles texturized and they will do what you want! :)These recipes are fool proof- i've done them many many times and taught my roomate- who doesn't know to cook, how to properly cook these! they are always a big hit!!! If you want more recipes that i've come up with for these noodles- let me know, i'd be happy to send them to you!
