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 HairOrganic Cheese PowderButterProtein 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 have been buying these miracle noodles for years and loved them (see my original review below) -- until they started tasting like bleach. I assume that so many people complained about the natural fishy smell of the water they come in, the company must have started chlorinating them. The problem is that whilst the original natural fishy smell was EASY to get rid of, just by washing them in a sieve and dry frying for a minute or two or microwaving in water, there is NOTHING that works to get rid of the chlorine TASTE, and NOTHING covers it up. I have tried EVERYTHING -- high heat baking, acid, endless washing, intensely flavoured sauces. I got a huge batch of them because I have always loved them, and now it is too late to return them and I just have to throw them out and lose the money.Note that I did buy this large batch quite some months ago, so it is possible that the company has corrected this horrible mistake by now. If you have bought some recently and they do not taste of bleach, please mention that in your own review. The moment I hear the chlorine taste gone I will buy more.Here is my original review, and then an "UPDATE" again from the past:Of course don't buy these if you are looking for an authentic pasta experience. They are not the same as real fettucini, by any stretch of the imagination. But if you want a gluten-free, ultra-low-calorie, ultra-low-carb alternative to real fettucini, that will allow you to enjoy more of the delicious sauce you want to serve them in, these are indeed that miracle, as promised.To remove the strong fishy smell, tip the uncooked noodles into a sieve and rinse thoroughly under running water, then put in microwaveable bowl with lots of fresh water and heat for a few minutes until the underside of the bowl feels hot, then strain. No more fishy smell.UPDATE: Is it my imagination, or have these actually improved, objectively? It might be that I am just used to them now, but somehow the new batch I have just received is seeming more pasta-like and less eel-like (as someone else described the texture). At any rate if I could increase the number of stars from 5 to 6 I would. I love love love the fettucini miracle noodles. Really superb. (Unless you are expecting them to be indistinguishable from real pasta, of course.) I love how easy they are to heat up, and how I can eat high soluble fibre and 'pasta' without vast numbers of carbs and calories.
