Miracle Noodle Angel Hair Pasta - Plant Based Shirataki Noodles, Keto, Vegan, Gluten-Free, Low Calories, Low Carb, Paleo, Soy Free, Non-GMO - Perfect for Your Keto Diet - 7 oz (Pack of 6)

I am so happy to have found Miracle Noodle here, introducing me to the Shirataki noodle! If you are expecting it to taste or have the texture of pasta, you may be disappointed. However, I love it! I eat a lot Asian food so I was able to accept the initial smell and unique texture. The "fishy" smell rises out. It wasn't strong smelling when i opened it up, but because I read the past reviews I had to give it a good sniff to see what they were complaining about. And yes, it was not a very appetizing smell, but it went away after rising it for about 30 seconds. I ate my first serving of Miracle Noodle with a Japanese noodle soup base (used for tempura sauce, somen, udon, etc.) and it worked perfectly. I was positively giddy. Zero calories! I actually love the texture. It's a little rubbery but not chewy. I don't know what it can be compared to in our common American cuisine, but it is made from a vegetable, so expect a more vegetable-like texture. Like another reviewer stated, it is similar to Asian glass noodles. Now for the big test: Let my husband try it. New foods often ignite dialogue like, "Eww, I hate X." "You've never tried X." "Yeah cuz I don't like it." LOL. He has, however, become more adventurous with new foods and seeing me dance around singing "zero calories" tempted him enough. I gave him a bite and he just kind of responded with "meh". I didn't expect much, so I count that as a success in my book! With the right ingredients and maybe some hot sauce, I'm sure he'd like it just fine. I am excited to try different methods of preparing this noodle. It seems like the perfect filler food in place of rice or pasta. MUCH healthier. It really does just take on the flavor of what it's prepared with. I was able to find individual packages a shirataki noodles (different brands) in my local Asian food market (next to produce) at a lower price, however I have not tried it yet. It looks exactly the same and I can't imagine it'd be much different. So if you're hesitant about buying a 6-pack, maybe you could try that first. I am so glad Miracle Noodle has marketed this product in this way to help get this out to more people. I would have never thought something like this existed. This has become one of my new staples. Bye-bye high calorie noodles!

These were wonderful! I saw that other reviewers didn't seem to like these and complained about the taste and smell... so I just wanted to share my surprisingly different review about how much I enjoyed them. I will admit that they didnt smell great right out of the packaging, but if you smell a box of uncooked spaghetti it doesnt smell like roses either. I then tasted them right out the bag. Tasted like... nothing. Not bad or anything, just very bland and water-like. I also didn't have a problem at all with the texture. They're nothing close to pasta, but they reminded me a lot of the Asian glass rice noodles that I've always loved to eat. They're soft, and a little chewy, but if you cook them they are really exactly like glass noodles and don't feel like rubber bands or cartilage like others have said. Also, I'm used to eating a lot of kelp noodles which are crunchy even after cooking and do have a texture like that of cartilage, so these shirataki noodles are much better. Of course, no one should ever eat these without any sauce... they were made to be zero calories so that you can drench them in high-calorie sauces and not feel guilty. Just kidding. But really, they taste fantastic with my thai peanut sauce mix. I mean, I can't get enough of them. They absorb the peanut and coconut flavor amazingly. And the 7-oz serving size is just perfect for one meal! I tried them with teriyaki sauce and pad thai sauce too. Also very good. They really should just rename these as glass noodles instead of "angel hair pasta"... there is absolutely nothing pasta like about them. Anyway, I recommend that you try these. And to cook them and mix them with sauces before consumption. I think Asian sauces work the best with them... but that might just because I love Asian food. They go quick though and they're a bit pricy... but if you are trying to stay on track for your bikini body like me, they're worth the money.

So I bought these for my wife because she is into fitness and had heard about these noodles from people she works out with. Apparently they are zero calorie fillers and make it easier when cutting to lower your carb intake. When she opened the bag, there was a definite hint of fishiness. I was skeptical that they would be good, but she cooked them up and added a decent sauce and I couldn't really taste anything awry. I can't really say they are good or bad tasting, because they pretty much take on the flavor of whatever you eat them with. They were pretty satisfying and made me feel full for quite a while. I guess they are just fiber. Overall, I find them to be a bit expensive as a means of taking in zero calories. If I want to do that in the future I will just eat less. If I were a weaker person, however, that needs to feel full all the time, these might be a great solution.

I'm on a keto diet, so I was looking for some pasta alternatives. These noodles are actually keto friendly, though my nutritionist recommends to limit consumption to 2 packets a week because these noodles take a bit of time to digest. I believe this is normal for kajun foods. These noodles are delicious when prepared properly. I always get the angel hair pasta because they make a great noodle alternative. The texture may be a bit studier and more rubbery than normal pasta, but it actually works well when you cook the noodles. It's also difficult to overcook these noodles because of the texture. These noodles are a great and much healthier alternative to the instant noodles I crave. The flavor of the noodles alone isn't amazing, but if you stir fry the noodles with plenty of spices, it's really tasty! I usually add my noodles into a frying pan with vegetable oil, I then add an egg and some spices: chili power, tumeric, creole salts, and cajun seasoning. Mix the ingredients together, and you'll get a nice, tasty ramen-like dish! I'm no master chef, nor am I great at cooking, but it's very easy and takes no time at all to prepare these noodles!

I wasn't expecting a lot, but I do not understand the five star reviews. When you are on a restricted calorie diet you will eat, and even enjoy, things which normally you would not care so much for, perhaps that is it. Maybe some of the reviews are marketing plants by people who have a financial interest in the product sales, I do not know. Perhaps some people do not find the rubbery texture offensive - I have friends who enjoy squid, octopus and eel - which I do not care for unless it is battered and deep fried. With respect to the smell of this product, the strong fishy odor can be reduced to a light vinegary odor with proper rinsing. The deal breaker for me was the rubbery texture. I DID read the instructions, and other reviews, and recipes posted elsewhere. Boiling for a minute, and even longer, did not improve the texture. I tried drying them in a frying pan as one reviewer suggested, and that did not help. I even tried frying them, but the best I could do was to take the "bounce" out of the rubbery texture to where they were merely tough and fibrous like the stringy strands in a celery stalk. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. I once tried zero calorie chocolate sauce, marshmallow creme, and even peanut spread, based on highly positive reviews posted on Amazon. That stuff tasted like toxic waste to me, and unfortunately these "noodles" are just as inedible IMHO due to their texture. There is an old Three Stooges short where they are trying to eat pancakes that accidentally had some glue (or something similar) mixed into the batter and this "pasta" immediately reminded me of those rubbery pancakes. I do highly recommend this product to those who enjoy pulling April Fools Day pranks, as this would be perfect to serve to friends and family on April 1st.

I heard about these noodles years ago through Hungry Girl, although they weren't available in my area's grocery stores until just a couple of years ago. When I learned 2 years ago that I am gluten-intolerant (borderline celiac), I started using rice pastas and the like, but they weren't all that satisfying and still had a ton of calories and simple carbs. Remembering the stories I'd read about shirataki, I thought I should give them a try. I had initially tried a different brand (one of the tofu varieties). I must admit, the first few times I tried shirataki noodles, I was really unimpressed, but I was pretty much just rinsing them and adding them to whatever I was making, but once I learned how to properly cook them, even the other brand was really good. The best way to prepare them that I've found is a little bit involved, but they are still very quick and simple. I put about a teaspoon of oil (grapeseed) in my 9" nonstick wok and preheat it on high. I open the package of noodles directly into a colander, letting the liquid drain out (it smells a little like shrimp to me, but YMMV), and then open up the hot tap over them for a couple of minutes. I then shake/squeeze out the excess water, sometimes blotting on some paper towels, then snip them with kitchen shears until they are a more manageable length on average (although sometimes I do this directly in the pan, just because I'm weird and that seems fun). Transfer the noodles to the pan. The oil should be hot and the noodles should sizzle when they hit the pan; grapeseed oil has a very high smoke point, which is why I prefer it for stir-frying. I tend to use silicone-covered kitchen tongs for cooking my noodles, as it seems easier to grab them and turn them than trying to just stir. I let them cook for a couple of minutes until they are more or less dry, then add my other ingredients in order of how long they take to cook. You really can't overcook shirataki noodles (in my experience), though - they don't get soggy like wheat pasta. My favorite recipe is to add 6 oz. medium raw shrimp (usually I just rinse/thaw the shrimp and noodles together in the colander, then separate them as even raw shrimp doesn't take very long to cook), 1/2-3/4 cup of chopped green onion, 2-3 tsp of liquid aminos (or light soy sauce), a beaten egg or two, and a dash of ginger & garlic powder at the end. The noodles take a back seat to whatever ingredients you add, and are just a nice addition that also tends to be very filling. I calculated this recipe in a diet log, and it checks in at under 400 calories for what amounts to a HUGE bowl of noodles with 6 oz. of shrimp and two large eggs. Tons of protein and very filling for very few calories. Even my exceedingly picky husband likes them, and he isn't rummaging through the fridge & cupboards 10 minutes later like usual. Last night I added some frozen grilled red & yellow peppers in place of the shrimp, and it was outstanding. I like these because they are not only gluten-free, but soy-free. While I don't actively avoid all things soy, I do try to keep my intake in check, mostly because of how ubiquitous it is in nearly every other prepared food product (especially gluten-free). I'm still curious about the nutrition measurements, considering the package describes them as being made of soluble fiber, but lists <1g of fiber in a serving. In any event, I am always full and happy after a meal containing these.

I'm really confused by the reviewers claiming they couldn't wash the smell off. When first opened the bag smells EXACTLY like old edamame. The fact that it smells like something that is also food helped me get past it a little. I put the noodles in a colander and ran hot water over them for less than a minute while tossing them around with my hands. That removed the smell completely. I think the assertion that they taste "rubbery" is a little strong. There certainly chewy, but in the same way that bean sprouts or limp celery is chewy. It's basically true that they take on the taste of your sauce, though, having prepared them in beef broth with hot sauce, it didn't really seem like they were absorbing the flavor so much as they were just coated in it. The only real criticism I have is that you really don't get all that much volume for your money. A whole package makes slightly more than a brick of Top-Ramen soup--at 2.50 a package the calorie savings are really the only thing it has going for it. For the same price, I could eat a whole ton of carrots or green beans, which I find way more satisfying and would be only a trifle more caloric. I guess I figured shiritaki noodles would be better than carrots at answering my carb craving, but they're really not. So ultimately, I liked the product, but I probably wouldn't buy again for price reasons. Also, and I'm not sure how this should influence buying decisions overall, but one of the bags popped and leaked its smelly juice all over the box in shipping. To make matters worse, the noodles were part of an order that contained some electronics that were (thankfully) shrink wrapped. Still, unpacking everything from a pool of shiritaki juice was nightmare.

Okay, so I heard about the amazing Shirataki noodle and decided to give it a try. After MUCH research and deliberation I decided to try both the "miracle noodle" (zero calorie, glucomannan, no tofu) and the House Foods (40 calorie per bag, tofu and yam flour) varities. BOTH arrived today, so I decided to try both and give an unbiased review. #1 - Anyone who says these noodles have a repulsive odor, has never eaten fish before. #2 - anyone who says these noodles have a repulsive texture, has never eaten ramen, or udon noodles before. I put a small pot of boiling water on the stove, brought to a boil. Opened the bag, put noodles into a strainer, and rinsed 10-15 seconds under cold water. Then I put the noodles in pot of boiling water. I purposely sniffed the bag.. and yes.. it has a medium to mild "fishy" odor, nothing worse than salmon. If you don't like this, then don't sniff the bag. The "miracle noodle" had slightly less of this odor. I purposely sniffed the boiling water after about 1 minute, and yes, it had an odor, not so much fishy anymore, as almost plastic-y.. kind of hard to describe... again, don't sniff the steam if this bothers you. After 3 minutes of boiling (for the House foods brand), and 2 mintues (for the miracle noodle brand), I poured into the strainer again, and rinsed with HOT water for 10 seconds. I then drained, and put back into the small pot, and added half a flavor packet from a pack of ramen noodles (chicken flavor). IT TASTED JUST LIKE RAMEN! I was very excited. The noodles (as other reviews state) have no flavor on their own, but take on asian flavors nicely. As for being a "spaghetti substitute," these would probably do the same as if you put ramen noodles under some spaghetti sauce.. not quite right.. but not the fault of the noodles, just not the intent of an asian noodle. As for the texture, these noodles actually get FIRMER as you cook them, instead of softer (like regular noodles). If your're a fan of "al dente" pasta, then this is for you. YES < they are a bit firm, but not hard like rubber bands (like other reviews have said). And not slimy in the slightest, I don't get why people have said this (again, felt just like ramen noodles in my mouth). I love al dente pasta myself, and found the texture preferable to normal ramen noodles. The "miracle noodle" is slightly firmer, and more transluscent (like more tradition ramen noodles). I ate one bag of each, and loved every bite of both. This was also about 4 hours ago, and I felt full this whole time (not uncomfortably full, just not hungry). I'm VERY glad I took a chance on this. Perhaps if you have a picky pallet, this isn't for you. But if you like Ramen noodles, then I'm telling you give these a try. One bag (of either) is about the same volume as one packet of Ramen noodles, but at a fraction of the calories (or zero in the case of miracle noodles). I plan on experimenting with other spices, such as bullion, and asian "flavor packets" found at the grocery store. Hope this helps!!

Customers should know that this is the WORST konjac root based pasta I have ever had! It looks and tastes like STRAW! Very disappointing.

This will not be to everyone's taste. The smell which is quite fishy goes away once you wash and boil pasta for 1 min. Don't be put off by it.The pasta has no taste until you combine it with garlic/ginger/sauce etc. I just want to feel full and consume less calories, this is ideal. You can eat about 300 calories less per meal and still feel satisfied. This makes things a little easier as you feel full for longer. Texture is slightly more rubbery than rice noodles, will take a while to get used to it. Buy it and try it.

Good product for Keto diet! One packet lasts me 2 meals. Follow the cooking instructions on the package. I did not get any fishy smells that people complain about. This noodles is mostly make of water and does absorb a lot flavour when cooking. So put extra sauce/flavouring when you’re cooking otherwise it will taste bland. Pad thai and Chowmein works really well with this noodles I was kind of sad about the price. But I got a lot of meals out of it. So I guess it’s okay.

I wasn't sure I'm gonna like these noodles because the chewy taste that everyone says it has but I must say that I love them. Isn't much difference between them and spaghetti pasta especially if you dip them in a rich sauce as they do take the taste of the sauce. I've placed another order but I think it will be the last one as I find them far too expensive.If you are on a long-term diet I would recommend them as a treat,once in a while.

Rinse well. You will get used to the texture. It tastes like whatever sauce you serve with it. Freezes well. I use the « rice » or « noodle » depending on what I make.
