Miracle Noodle Angel Hair Pasta, 7 Oz (Pack of 6), Plant Based Shirataki Konjac Noodles, 5 Calories, 1g Net Carbs Per Serving, Keto, Gluten-Free

UPDATE: My favorite Miracle Noodles, in order: 1. Angel Hair - By far my favorite. Texture is very close to ramen. I absolutely love eating with an organic cheese powder that I buy here on Amazon. The cheese clings to the noodles perfectly, and if I want to eat a childhood favorite, I ate a sliced organic hotdog. It's delicious! 2. Rice - This rice has amazing texture, and is perfect for adding to stews or stir fries. It absorbs flavor well. It's light and fluffy. 3. Fettuccine - I don't buy the fettuccine frequently, because I prefer the angel hair and rice so much more. & lastly, the elbows. I don't recommend them. Unfortunately, in my opinion, the texture of Konnyaku flour doesn't work well as an elbow noodle. It ends up being too rubbery. I cannot say enough good things about these. Okay - here's a secret about me. I'm a very healthy eater. Now and then I'll splurge with a snack or two, but for the most part, I eat a healthy, grain-free paleo diet.... but my secret is that I used to LOVE ramen noodles. Everything about them - the texture, the salty, MSG-laden taste of the packet that comes with them, especially the shrimp flavor! As I became more health conscious and kicked ramen noodles to the curb, I found myself yearning for the days when I would drop a convenient block of noodles in a boiling pot of water. Miracle noodles are just as convenient. Seriously. You rinse them in cool water, boil them for 2-3 minutes, drain them and you're done. Some of the instructions recommend dry roasting them in a pan for a minute afterwards. I haven't tried that yet, but I plan to. Regardless, they taste delicious. I have been eating gluten-free for several years now. I missed the taste of real noodles. Rice noodles can be so sticky and heavy. Quinoa noodles are probably my second favorite, but they still don't satisfy my noodle craving the way Miracle Noodles do. Miracle noodles are light but fulfilling. The texture is difficult to describe. It's similar to ramen, but if you're expecting it to be completely the same, you might disappointed. As far as taste goes, they are very mild-tasting, which means that they're perfect for adding spices to and creating whatever dish you dream of. I've been adding a small amount of broth to mine with spices like paprika, salt, garlic, and sometimes turmeric. I'll throw some peas in there or any other veggies I have on hand. It makes for such a quick, healthy meal. I'm working on coming up with other sauce ideas. These won't work with the average tomato sauce because they require a stickier, thicker sauce since they don't absorb as well as a regular noodle does. The more I cook with these, however, the more I become accommodated with which flavors and toppings pair well with them. They're very unique, but they're worth experimenting with! Update: I've found the perfect recipe for these! I eat paleo, so I'll give you the paleo version and the regular version of the recipe for you to try. First, I make a vegetable soup. I make mine from scratch using any veggies I have on hand, a pot roast, a can or two of crushed tomatoes, some vegetable stock, and a dash of honey. You can use a pre-made vegetable soup, or you can make your own with whichever ingredients you choose. I divide it up so that half of it remains soup, and the other half will be used for my sauce for miracle noodles. I freeze them in separate containers (individual sized for convenience). I use about 1/4 cup of the soup, toss it into a pan with 1 tablespoon or so of butter, add Coconut Aminos to taste, along with about 2 teaspoons of arrowroot. The arrowroot thickens the sauce to the PERFECT texture so that the miracle noodles absorb the sauce. It tastes absolutely amazing - almost like a beef stroganoff. I season it with a bit of sea salt and paprika. It's so savory and delicious. If you don't eat paleo and you don't have these ingredients on hand, no problem. Take your soup, add butter and some soy sauce to taste along with enough flour to thicken it to your liking. You can use any thickener you choose. Either way, it'll taste amazing. I mix it with the miracle noodles, it blends so well, and it's the perfect portion of food for me. My 2nd favorite recipe: 1 package Miracle Noodles Angel Hair Organic Cheese Powder Butter Protein of your choice (cooked hamburger meat, hot dogs, chicken, etc.) Rinse and cook your Miracle Noodles. Add about 1/2 tablespoon of butter - basically you want to coat the noodles with some liquid leftover on the bottom. Then, add in as much cheese powder as preferred. I like mine mildly cheesy, but if I'm in the mood to add extra, I sometimes also add more butter to ensure that it ends up creamy. The cheese powder sticks so well to these noodles. Afterwards, toss in some cooked hamburger, hot dogs, chicken, or any meat of your choice. Or eat it plain..tastes delicious by itself! As far as nutritional value - they are touted as a weight loss food. I don't eat them for that reason though. Sure, they're low-calorie, but I eat them because they're also nearly carbohydrate free. I avoid carbs because I'm a mild diabetic, and I avoid grains due to GI problems. These are the perfect option for me. They also slow the digestive process which makes for better digestion and absorption of nutrients. I honestly recommend these to everyone I meet - whether you follow a strict, healthy diet or you just want to experiment with a new pasta, these are a wonderful alternative. And the price is fantastic as well.

I recently ordered these, and for the price, I'm certainly glad I didn't regret it! -The delivery time was fast, incredibly so. I think I ordered these last Sunday, and received them yesterday. Like they said, the package faintly smells of fish. But, it doesn't linger. Besides, nothing wrong with fish. It is healthier ;P (note, this product did not come with fish...) The boxes (I ordered this and a variety pack) came encased in larger box that had large air bubble security wrap (not bubble wrap). Neatly assorted as well. You can immediately tell these people don't just take your money and that's all she wrote. They actually ensure that it was worth your buy. - The preparation: If you are unfamiliar with angel hair noodles, then you might be a it intimidated when you empty the contents into a strainer. It looks gucky and messy, perhaps not appetizing or edible. But no worries! The preparation is rather simple, and if you read the back of each pack, you'll realize what I'm talking about. (I explain the process at the end of this post). - The taste: Like any noodle on its own, the taste isn't pleasant unless you add some taste. The extra condiments I use range from 0-2 calories. So all the while, a large serving of this rounds up to about 6-10 calories. So be creative! But don't take advantage of it being low calorie, or you'll end up eating an unhealthy worth. It's like ordering a side of diet coke with that large movie theater popcorn. Don't go delusional! Overall, I haven't had pasta or noodles in years because of my obsession with calorie counting and eating healthy. These hit the spot! I get full, don't feel hungry later, and if you do it right, they taste just like the real thing! So yes! I'm definitely ordering more! Thank you Miracle Noodle! This is how I boil/cook it (for those unfamiliar with any form of thin asian noodle or angel hair): First pre-heat the stove top you'll be using with med-high. Fill up a pot with water to the amount of noodles you'll be boiling (be it one, two or three packs - 4oz's, 6oz's, 8oz's) with some salt (optional) and let it sit until water is boiling. Lower temp to medium. Simply empty packet[s] into a strainer, and let it drain. Don't forget to wash your hands and aid the straining process by stirring the noodles a bit. Then just plop them into the pot, let them sit for around 2-4 minutes (or more, depending on how much you're cooking). Stir them around a bit. Turn off stove top, let the noodles absorb the water a bit, but don't allow them to be over-heated/cooked because you'll be applying more heat later. Empty the pot into the strainer again, to get rid of the water. Using a pan, or skillet pan, what have you.preferably non-stick, place it on the same stove top you used earlier on medium heat. then place the noodles onto the pan, and toss around a bit, till the moisture KIND OF goes away. You'll hear it sizzling. But don't overdue it! Or the noodles will harden, and the taste won't be as nice. Once they look less wet and pale white (note, they won't look dark or anything either. Just less 'unprepared') empty pan contents onto a plate. Using a fork and a knife, start pulling apart noodles from the bulk onto other side, cutting the noodles. Not mince, just cut. That way, the noodles won't be super long, and easier to eat. Then, wisely, mix it up. Remember, just cause it's zero calorie, doesn't mean it does you justice to suddenly make it into a 500 calorie meal.

I have never regretted going Low Carb so much until now. Yeah when I heard that I could a get a carb free "pasta" through an online article, I thought "Hey!! It's like a better invention than the wheel!" If there is something I ADORE is pasta, the hardest thing for me is to go on without Pastas and Breads, so I came here and bought the 6 pack because i'm thinking of having pasta frequently! It's low carb, combine it with a light homemade tomato sauce and you've got a winning diet! Gosh was I wrong. I did read the terrible reviews but I just thought "Haha! These reviewers are expecting too much, obviously, this has no flour so it's not going to taste like regular pasta duhh!" The first thing you notice when you open the package is the strong odor that I can only describe it as Sodium Bicarbonate and shrimp. But that's okay because after it's cooked it goes away. The flavor : Tastes like nothing really, just like unflavored gelatin. The texture: Here is the killer....remember those sticky rubber hands you played with as a kid? This is EXACTLY what it's like, it's like chewing on rubber, it's quite disgusting, the texture alone will make you gag. I had to throw away everything after 2 bites, I just couldn't get it down. If you liked this stuff, good lord you're a soldier! Hats off to you.... Now to those of us with a palate...stay away, just have some pasta on your cheat day and pig out . Who knows maybe one day i'll find a low carb pasta that won't make me want to throw up.

Great Product if you are trying to control your calorie intake. Since they are calorie and carb free if you add these to one or two of your meals a day you are going to take out a lot of calories AND NOT BE HUNGRY. I have been eating them for a couple of weeks and have lost weight without going hungry. You do have to learn how to cook these noodles though. They have no taste more or less and are gummy sort of so I worked on them and here is my results. Try it and I think you will make them a happy addition to your weight loss plan. Make a strong soup stock in a crock pot....I use the chicken carcass from a roasted chicken from Costco, add some onions and carrots and some chicken soup base ...cook for several hrs. as bone broth is very good for you...remove the bones. Wash thorough as many pkg of noodles as you wish, my pot will hold six pkgs. and drain really well in a colander. Let them sit for 10 min. or more then add to the broth. Cook on low for a few hrs. and then turn onto warm or keep on low if its practical. I just turn them on warm and let them cook all night. After 10-12 hrs they change their texture to be more like rice noodles and they have a mild flavor, not strong but some flavor as opposed to cardboard. Drain them in a sieve or colander until they are dry and then store in the fridge. Now you can use them in anything, and they are dry enough to hold a sauce. Following the direction to just rinse and dry in the frying pan just doesn't hack it for me, but it is well worth the effort of the crock pot for the results and weight loss. One of favorite dishes is noodles, a tbsp. each feta cheese, , chopped pecans, chives, crispy onions, bacon bits and cherry tomatoes, chop up other veggies or fruit and then one tbsp. of olive oil, salt and pepper. I have tried them all and angel hair is the best for me. You have to cook the fettuccini longer to get rid of the rubbery texture. Add any sauce you want 14 cup Alfredo is only 70 calories or grated cheese and tomatoes. Scramble with eggs for breakfast. add to post roast with gravy. Keep in mind they have no nutritional value themselves so if you are using these for weight loss then you will need to make sure you get your vitamins and minerals in some other form. You don't want to just eat these noodles and nothing else as that would not be healthy at all and your body would think it is starving and slow down it's metabolism which is counter productive and shooting yourself in the foot.

Ok well let's be honest, we are not going to find a noodle that tastes like pasta with no carbs. If anyone does let me know! I received these in the mail the other day and made them for dinner. I followed the directions on the packet to prepare them which worked out nicely. They do have a strange aroma when you open them, though once rinsed that aroma is gone. They have no scent once rinsed. I sautéed the noodles with peppers, mushroom, and pasta sauce. I prepared them alongside chicken parmesan and sprinkled cheese on the noodles. Well I admit on first bite I was a bit put off by the texture. I wouldn't say they are rubbery like I have heard them described. They are almost like a pasta that isn't quite al dente, but yet has a strange texture also I can't describe. Once past the initial weirdness, the noodles are pretty good. Though no flavor until you season them. All in all I am satisfied and would recommend to try them.

I ordered these in part because of claims made about the positive effects of glucomannan on blood sugar, but mainly to satisfy my curiosity about the extreme range of reviews addressing the smell and texture of these noodles. THE INFAMOUS STENCH: So, the smell definitely is intensely chemical when you open the package. I rinsed them a couple of times in hot water, which didn't remove the smell but did diminish it somewhat. I then ate one plain, and it didn't taste at all weird, so I figured some fragrant seasoning would cover any remaining chemical scent. The noodles absorbed the flavor really well and it seemed just like eating regular Asian-style noodles. THE "SINEWY" TEXTURE: Without even cooking it, the texture was not in the least bit chewy, or "sinewy" as some reviewers have claimed. This could be due to the skinniness of the "angel hair" variety. It is nothing like angel hair pasta, however. It has a kink to it that is more akin to ramen. Other than the kinky appearance, the whiteness and general texture remind me of pho. Just follow the instructions on the package for cooking, which is pretty much just heating through, rather than boiling them. My only complaint is that unlike ramen, one package is not that filling, so for the price there's no real comparison to pasta, which is both cheap and filling. But if you just want to eat them for the novelty or for the health benefits, and don't mind paying a lot for a food that is reminiscent of the 20 cent noodles you ate in college, they are not offensive.

I first heard of Yam Noodles thru a diabetic food site and have used them ever since. Then many miles to drive to an Asian market. These are made of Asian yam. Do not confuse them with those made of tofu available in supers, a completely different food! But, as some reviewers complained, there is an odor. Here's the thing: they are usually packed w. seaweed/kelp powder as a natural preserversative. But they absorb any flavor in which they are cooked. I wash the noodles thoroughly in a colander (the seaweed odor disappears), rinse often and well, then cover them in fresh water in a container, and put into the fridge. Also give them 1 or 2 snips as it seems to be one very very long noodle. Which is hard to manage when eating. When taking them out to use, you'll see the original odor is gone. Their virtue is they take on any flavors/odors, so they will soon taste like whatever sauce you use. Usually I do a stir fry, Asian style. with some protein and vegetables and a brothlike sauce of some kind, eg. soy sauce, fish sauce, chopped garlic and shallots, and whatever flavors I choose. First brown the meat, if using, Then add your choice of vegetables, then add the sauce and the noodles. Let the flavors merge on a low heat and serve. There is absolutely no left over "fishy" smell. Similarly in a broth, used well rinsed noodles stored in fresh water. Make a miso soup, chicken soup, or whatever you choose. On texture, some complained of this. But being used to yam noodles due to sukiyaki (which uses these yam noodles) I like the texture. They do get softer than when tasted right out of their bag. The cooking time is minimal, just let them absorb the flavors and they're ready to serve. Leftovers are great. You can google all the health virtues of these yam noodles, which are also known as alimentary noodles, as they clean out the intestines as they move through. (One of the health virtues). Said to be a naturally high fiber food. I especially like this version called Angel Hair, the thinner noodles really work in a dish and are wonderfully flavored, by you, the cook. Japanese, Thai, Italian, French, the choices of flavors are yours. The price is right as well. Matches the rare market where they can be purchased. They also keep well refrigerated in the packets for a long time, but I'd recommend the thorough washing a day to a week before, but even washing before using in recipe that day will get rid of what seems like a 'fishy' smell, but is really kelp. Gluten free. Zero calories. Fills you up. Tastes good. And are good for you. What's not to like?

I was so happy to stumble upon these. Low carb? Plenty of fiber? Pasta replacement? Almost *zero* calories? Sign me up! But right after the first meal prepared with one of these monstrosities I wanted to write a breakdown of the pros and cons. Pros: * It's been proven to be very low/no calories. * Consistency is somewhat noodle/pasta like, can be a passable imitation. * High in fiber. That's all it mostly is - water and fiber. * Low carb. Great for those of you on Keto, Great for those of you saving your calorie budget for that cheesecake later on in the day. * Not every expensive. * Shelf life seems pretty good. ********* CONS: ********* * "The Sh!3s: The thing that the noodles are made of, contains an insoluble fiber called glucomannan. I read somewhere that they call it the "Stomach Broom" in Japan. I had one of these and my stomach was growling all day like a death metal band, and I had some "explosive" times the rest of the day. Please don't tell me "Oh it has fiber. You need to get used to it." One meal of my day, everyday has been raw greens + chicken for the past 2 months, so this argument is void. * The Stink: Take one of these to the gym, cut it open right before your PR attempt on the bench. It's a great replacement for smelling salts. Or if your kid asks you how dead fish packed in a plastic bag left out in the sun for 5 days smells like, open a packet of Miracle Noodles and show it to her. Then take her out for an ice cream while feeling guilty. I've listed many pros and 2 cons. That's a good tradeoff right? Not to me atleast. Skip breakfast, but avoid these nasty things. Or if you reaaaaly want low carb noodles, try out some zoodles or something. It's amazing to have creamy "pasta" all the time and still stay lean, but unfortunately, there's no free lunch!
