Miracle Noodles Zero Carb, Gluten Free Konjac Rice 200 g (Pack of 6)

These noodles are a serious lifesaver for anyone eliminating carbs from their diet. It's important to rinse, rinse, rinse...then dry them in a hot skillet....but wow, they are great! Take any flavor you give them.

I was super excited to try these. As an open-minded person, I accepted that they may taste, smell, or feel different. They do, but I was OK with that. I made a nice meal, even posted it on social media and then just got on with my life. Hours later, I had really bad cramping, nausea exces salivation. I had no idea what was happening to me. I usually have a strong stomach so I was freaking out. I didn't make the connection until a week later I had more noodles and the same thing happened - this time, I vomited a clump of undigested stuff from 36 hours prior. My rating is purely based on would I recommend these to anyone I loved, or cared about? No. And it pains me to say that, because I thought I had found the perfect replacement, but no.

It's a great product. Tasty and very good for help with a calorie controlled diet. I do the 5:2 and it is really filling on my 'fast' days

amazing

I am a bit unsure about the product I did not know what I can really say about the taste

I can assure you that they are vile. They smell like fish and plastic and no matter how much you rinse them they're still gag-worthy. The texture is like eating toothbrush bristles and they have a tendency to clump together when swallowed, so chew carefully. The only ''miracle'' here is how this brand is still in business.

V Good. Thx

This reminded me of squid legs and smelled of fish. It's the first time I've bought it but I couldn't bring myself to taste it!

Ok, so it doesn’t have the flavour, however if you are not eating grains then this is a good substitute. At 10 calories per bag this is a bonus. I have found that the best use is in soups or casseroles as it adds some bulk even if it doesn’t add flavour.

I've been working on eating healthy for two years now, after gaining weight in grad school. I've tried a variety of recipes, but always ended up back at "lean meat + vegetables" which gets boring—very boring—after a while. After I spent 2 months in China for work, I realized Euro pasta is just one way to do pasta! These do not taste exactly like Euro pasta—they have a different texture, and you have to work with them differently. Like tofu (which I don't love, but it's a useful comparison here), cook in the flavor. Give it seasoning and give it time; the seasoning and sauces won't just sit on the pasta like with Euro pasta. Cook it into the noodles by simmering whatever you're using on the noodles for 3-5 minutes. I've now made low-calorie versions of Beefaroni and Mac & Cheese, my two guiltiest comfort foods (comfort never grows up, I guess)! As an adult, I'd eat an entire Kraft Mac & Cheese for a meal, and that's about 1,000 calories! Now, I can make it myself using cheese powder, Miracle Noodle penne, and broccoli, and it's about 200 calories—nearly all of which are healthy calories. Much more satisfying, too! COOKING TIP: To get that fishy flavor out, drain, rinse, then boil for 3-5 minutes with a touch of white vinegar (don't use apple cider vinegar—I tried this once, and it's gross!). Rinse again, and then cook with a sharp seasoning, regardless of what you're making. Even when I make Mac & Cheese, I toss the noodles with teriyaki, for instance. It makes the cheese taste stronger, and it all tastes great. Teriyaki and low-sodium soy sauce are my two go-to's for this, but I'm sure others would work. Other Tips: - Boiling these noodles will not cause them to lose shape or get soft, like Euro pasta. - Combine with veggies to turn your favorite meals into amazing, healthy options (I make my Mac & Cheese with equal parts Miracle Noodle penne/ziti and broccoli; and I do something similar with my "Beefaroni"). To make veggie-cooking easy and fast, I recommend frozen veggies cooked in steamer bags in the microwave. - You can marinade these noodles. Rinse, boil with a touch of white vinegar, rinse again, and then toss in a ziploc bag with your favorite marinade for up to a week. - Not recommended for use in cold dishes like pasta salad, though if someone figures out how to make this work, I'd love to hear about it! - Always, ALWAYS cook in the flavor rather than expecting it to sit on the pasta. Simmer it, stir fry it, whatever you need, but cook it in. The noodles will absorb the seasoning if you give it roughly 3 minutes. Don't expect this to act like Euro pasta. Focus on the ways it kicks Euro pasta's bum rather than the ways it doesn't measure up, and it will open up so many creative, healthy cooking ideas! I can't tell you how endlessly happy I am now with my healthy diet. No more boring repetition of the same "lean meat + vegetable" meals or depression on days when I just want comfort food. Healthy comfort food has arrived! I also recommend the "rice" and spaghetti noodles. See picture for my Miracle Noodle fried rice! Yummy!

These noodles are the perfect replacement for pasta. They taste great and I'm so glad I tried them. Will be buying these from now on.

While I haven't used these as yet, I have used similar before and as long as one rinses them really, really well, there is negligible smell or taste. They are a great gluten free pasta alternative, bonus, no calories. They don't quite soak up the sauce as well, but maybe that's a good thing.

I'm relieved and pleased that this pasta is quite good. I agree that it has a bad odor - smelled like stinky shrimp shells - when I first opened the package. But I just followed the directions on the package - empty the pasta, rinse it for 20 seconds, boil it for 2 minutes, and then dry it in a paper towel. And then I followed other reviewers' advice and cooked it with my sauce for a few minutes on low heat. Although they were slightly rubbery, I think this pasta is a great substitute for the regular, high carbohydrate pasta most of us eat. I will definitely eat more. As far as the weird initial odor goes, we as Americans need to remember there are other stinky but healthy food items in the world, like durian fruit, that others consider a delicacy. If you're serious about giving up carbs, try this stuff.
