Shirataki Noodle, DIET COOKER Premium Konjac Noodle, Keto & Vegan Friendly, 9.52 oz, Odor Free, Low Calorie Pasta, Zero Net Carbs, Healthy Diet Food - Angel Hair (6 Packs)

We all know that regular pasta is super unhealthy, it's essentially junk food.But it is also easy and filling.Enter the shirataki noodle.Finally I can eat pasta without the guilt or the unhealthy-carbs.(Although I admit that I'm not sure shirataki noodles are "real" food. But neither is regular pasta.)The packaging is overkill. Two bags for each serving is ridiculous.I have tried a regular spaghetti noodle and the angel hair noodle.I feel that you don't get as much quantity with angel hair as you do with a larger noodle.You obviously get the same weight, but angel hair feels like less food quantity.I'm going to switch back to a larger noodle.The noodles do not separate easily like spaghetti noodles do. They clump together in a big ball. So I like to cut them with my kitchen shears. They're easier to eat when in smaller pieces.Yes, they smell slightly fishy. But properly rinsed, they have zero flavor and zero smell.Put the noodles in a mesh sieve. Spray them with your kitchen sprayer while tossing the noodles with your other hand or tongs. 30-60 seconds is enough. Squeeze to remove excess water. Heat and eat.They don't "take on" any flavors (which means that, by themselves, the noodles would then taste like the meat or sauce or whatever is in your dish), but they sort of blend in with the other flavors in your dish. They are a tasteless filler. I make spaghetti using ground turkey with spices and red pepper flakes, jarred sauce, and these noodles.When chewing, I notice they do have a slightly different texture than regular pasta.If you're sensitive to food textures, then I advise buying one serving (check local stores) before buying in bulk. That's what I did.So you get to eat pasta without affecting your insides or your waistline.

I usually buy the "miracle" brand at Walmart and it's the same size bag but it's $3.88. So almost 4 bucks a bag. These are basically $2.60 a bag and they're just as good.The instructions on the packaging for these types of noodles are NEVER right. They tell you to just rinse them. That's not enough, and these do have a crazy odor when you open them but for the best results, I rinse them in cold water, then boil them for a few minutes, then I fry them by themselves (strain them first) in a pan for a few minutes THEN use them in whatever I'm cooking. I know it sounds like a lot of work but it's SO worth it.I've been making 'keto' stir fry with peppers and chicken and these noodles and it's so friggin good. Really scratches that pasta itch.

I like the low carb product; being pre-diabetic, it is appreciated!

This is the most horrible brand I ever tried. Take a wad of hair out of your hairbrush and wet it. That's what this is like. You can't separate it and you have to.pull it out of your teeth with two fingers. Don't waste your money. I ended up tossing mine out.

Some brands are infamously smelly, but NOT these. Love the texture and neutrality of the taste lets you flavor them however you like. Will buy again, highly recommended.

The moment I opened the pack, I was overwhelmed by a sweetish sour stinky smell, like an rotten fruit mixed with a dead fish. No wonder the instruction asks you to rinse under running water for 2-3min. Yes I wasted water as per instruction but the smell didn't abate. So I then boiled the noodles for 1-2 min. I'm dreading opening a second pack...

I can't really handle pasta anymore after bariatric surgery, but I really missed it, so I took a chance on these and WOW was I impressed! They don't really taste like anything, but they take on the flavor of whatever broth, sauce, or flavorings you put in them, so there's a bunch of ways to customize them.

These really didn't have a lot of taste, but they had the consistency of calamari. So if you're a texture person, this noodle probably isn't for you.
