Skinny Shirataki Noodles, Pasta, Keto, Low Carb, Low Calorie, Healthy, Konjac, Konnyaku, Gluten-Free, Plant Based, Made in USA (Rice, 8 Ounce, Pack of 12)

Taste wise, I'm asian so the hint of shrimpy fishy smell doesn't bother me. The smell is not foreign. Texture and consistency - it is like eating asian hair or rice noodles. So, the slight rubber texture, again, is not foreign. Price wise, pretty expensive vs. noodles, like 5 times the cost. But, considering the calories drops from 360 to like 40 or below for other similar brands and the sodium is non existent, it is a lot healthier. So I guess healthy comes at a cost.

The media could not be loaded.  A fair substitute for actual macaroni.Some of the noodles actually are hollow like macaroni, some aren’t. And of course being what they are, they don’t actually absorb the flavor or hold onto the sauce of anything you put them into. That being said I like them. I will buy them again.

They hold alot of water. I use paper towels to help soak it up before putting them in the pan to cook out the rest. Flavor is ok and it works to help me lose weight.

Whether you just want a light lunch with noodles and veggies or make spaghetti, chicken alfredo, of course, any oriental dish, or just in a salad. just let your culinary skills run with whatever. It doesn't matter where you use these noodles they fit in with any flavor since they absorb the flavor of the food they are cooked with!

These noodles are okay I'm using them on my weight loss journey so I can't complain but they are a little rubbery, you should boil them then drain. They seem to hold a lot of water, I think they're best used in a stir fry like a lo mein situation sort of

I have tried a large variety of Shirataki style noodles including angel hair, ziti, capellini, tofu shirataki spaghetti, making my own, and now the Skinny noodles ramen. When I saw them I did not think they looked any different other than color from the tofu shirataki and I was not fond of the texture those. When I saw them in person I was not eager to eat them and thought I ordered 12 bags of noodles that I would not like. They also smell a little worse in prep (rinse) than the normal but that goes away with the pot boil like any other. I rinse them again before I put them in the pan. I know they have a couple of different ingredients but my expectations were low. I rinsed, boiled, pan-fried, and then prepared them like dry ramen and sat down to eat. I was very surprised that the texture is different. They are not just colored shirataki noodles designed to fool the mind. They actually have a softer bite even than the tofu style. So far out of all the shirataki noodles, these have the least amount of that weird texture. I actually am happy with my order. I can eat them daily or whenever without enduring such an unusual texture. If you have tried a quite a few like I have and just stumbled across this Skinny Noodles Ramen-style variety I think it is worth a try for sure. They are different and are better. They have 4 net grams carbs I believe.

For a carb substitute, it does its job. The rice has a texture that takes getting used to. It's tapioca-like with a bit of chewiness. Same goes for the noodles. I've made fried rice and ramen so far, and will turn elsewhere once I've finished these.

After they are washed the odor goes away. Reminds me of the smell of a bag of new industrial rubber bands. Whew! But they have a rubbery texture, I’ll stick to the cheap market generic brands
