Skinny Pasta 9.52 oz - The Only Odor Free 100% Konjac Noodle (Shirataki Noodles) - Pasta Weight loss - Low Calorie Food - Healthy Diet Pasta - Noodles - 6-Pack

I say IF, because konjac / shiritaki noodles are rubbery. That's just how they are, similar to (maybe the same as?) the glass noodles in some Asian soups. If you are prepared for that and don't expect them to have the mouth feel of rice or pasta, it will be a better experience. They will not 'melt' into mush no matter how long you chew them. I actually like the extra toothiness, they last longer in my mouth and that longer chew means more satisfaction with less food. These particular noodles are excellent - they are as flavorless as expected, AND, as I didn't dare hope, actually Odorless. Most of the brands I've tried before upset my cat. (I Hear him in my head:. Oh yeah, oh yeah, it's the shrimp, it's the ... what the fishy heck, why are showing me This, where is my food?) Phew! I'm not a fussy eater and I know the stink won't carry over into the taste but let's be honest, it's revolting. I actually haven't purchased konjac for years because I didn't want that nasueating hurdle, and I'm delighted it's gone. The product arrived on time and intact, and I was satisfied with the first two bags I've opened. They did stick together a bit at first and I feared the dreaded "Jello of Death" - extremely annoying for something that costs at least five times more than pasta - but they quickly broke into strands and were fine. The package size is a little frustrating, too big for one serving and a bit stingy for two. An extra ounce of product would be great.

I am a long time consumer of shirataki noodles of all shapes and sizes. There are a lot of brands available, and most are nearly the same. SO if you have never had shirataki (konjac root) noodles, then please know that they are not the same as traditional pasta. They all have a rubbery texture. If you are really desperate to reduce cals and carbs, these are worth the try. I find them enjoyable, especially in soups, simple veg/protein dishes, and Asian cuisine preparations. I have never cared for it prepared in Italian cuisine. It doesnt work for me. It is ok is used to cut into the traditional pasta (maybe like 50-50 of each). Taste is neutral, and while this brand has zero odor, many other brands do. If you find that any of them have an odor, just be sure to rinse well. Problem fixed. So I bought this specific brand after trying their ultra magical Skinny Pasta cups of Soup . It somehow doesnt taste or feel like a shirataki product that is truly reduced in sodium (80 mg). It makes a lot, and hits the spot- fills my belly with very little calories, and feels glorious to consume on a cold winter day. I digress.. but I cant help but goosh my love for it. Pricy, but so good. So because it is so pricy, I figured maybe I could make my own cup of soup using their noodles. I wanted theirs because another brand I decided to try was absolutely terrible (I say they are nearly all the same, but occasionally a terribad one slips through. I do not recommend any version of ASIN:B07ZVDP46K shirataki noodles]] )). Well, these dont quite fit what I am looking for, BUT they are very good as far as shirataki noodles go. I eat a bowl of them as I write this review. I emptied the packet into a strainer, gave them a good rinse, then placed them in a bowl of with boiled water. Then I drained, added low sodium broth powder, other seasonings, dehydrated vegetables. Let it sit, then have been eating it like a bowl of soup. All for like 25 calories! I may try their spaghetti shape to see if I can get this closer to their Skinny Pasta soup. But really, I will likely have to just buy more of their soup. Which is amazing. If they can make some shirtaki noodles that mimic what they use in their soup.. oh my. In the mean time, this is pretty good.

So here’s my story. I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes 12 yrs ago. As a restauranteur (40 yrs recently retired) it was a challenge to stay on point taking care of myself, food being my Achilles heel. Over time I tried everything I came across to mimic or recapture tastes and textures I love that I really can’t have without a price. I have tried so many things to recapture the taste/feel etc of my beloved noodles. Pasta, Cellophane, Ramen … you get the idea. I’ve spent hundreds of $ buying every product, trying every recipe I could find with unfortunately miserable results. There seemed to be nothing that wasn’t a disappointment. They smelt bad, were mushy or had an unpleasant aftertaste. Then the cravings would take over so I’d rationalize, have a meal or 2 or more and the BG police would show up. (Diabetics will get that.) After hours on Amazon searching, checking stars and reading reviews, buying products, and filling my garbage bags I stumbled upon Konjac noodles. The ratings were in the usual zone of most like them but… like - Not for me, no taste, packaging problems, to expensive… But their were the others and the pictures that resembled almost a ramen cellophane noodle and here I go again $. I returned from the gym starving and the box was sitting by the door. I grabbed it read everything and realized all I really had was a little bit of a lot of stuff. I had a can of low salt stewed tomatoes, 2 older green onions, a handful of spinach, and about 6 mushrooms , and couple of day old chunks of a steak dinner. Into the sauté pan with you all. A bit of butter, olive oil, garlic, seasonings and spices with the last teaspoon of a tube of tomato paste squeezed out with a wood spoon handle. Rinse the noodles 3 times in warm water, shake the water out, toss in another pan with a tad of evvo to temp and combine. Taste buds drum roll, thinking how I’m gonna eat the sauce from around the noodles when I don’t like them and BAM! Did I just like them? Wait, what, again, and again and again. Their not mushy, they don’t smell, their kind of wait, their al dente. Holy smokes did I just find something I’ve been looking for for 12 years? A darn sure did and I enjoyed the heck out of them. Are they a perfect substitute. Nope, they don’t really have any particular flavor. But that’s ok. They also don’t absorb the liquid around them but maybe if I sauté them a bit more or ensure my sauces are thicker, who cares. I really like them. And then the options start rolling through my mind. Ramen soup, stir fry, pad woon zen, scampi… The price isn’t low, but I’ll deal with that. Just look at that nutritional information, my diabetes monster can just shut the hell up. I’ve found something I really enjoyed and that’s enough for me. If you try them I hope they work out as well for you as they did for me. - Cheers! Oh and I just found a recipe for Crazy Keto Dough, wish me luck!

I tried the kojac noodles that are sold at my local grocery and they were gross but of course I wasn't preparing them properly AND they had that odor straight out of the package. These have zero odor, and I have the nose of a bloodhound. I followed the instructions and rinsed them over and over in a colander and shook the water out. I prepared a stir fry with onions and garlic and ginger, mushrooms, snow peas, and some leftover broccoli I had. Oh and bean sprouts. I added a little tamari (like soy sauce) and then once I determined that it tasted good, I put 75% of the mixture into a large bowl and then added the noodles to the remaining mixture in the wok. I had cut the noodles up a little with my kitchen shears just to make them easier to work with. I deglazed the pan with a tiny bit of water to get all the browned bits off and added a tiny bit more tamari until the noodles began to take on the color and I just stir fried them for about five minutes. This is why I took out some of the veggies - I didn't want to overcook them while I made sure the noodles cooked long enough to get rid of the water and become more rice-noodle-like in texture. Rice noodles have a flavor I really like and of course that flavor is absent in shirataki noodles, but the noodles took on the flavor of the stir fry admirably and I honestly wouldn't be able to tell the difference. The true test will be if I am hungry in a half hour ;) Remember to drink liquid when you eat these noodles. I forgot to add that I always put madras curry powder on my noodles like this so they are like singapore noodles from the chinese restaurant. In terms of quantity, it seems like hardly any when you look at the package, but if you are trying to eat low carb, you should be adding a lot of veggies and meat, not relying on these noodles because other than fiber they are devoid of nutrients. They give you that sort of... noodly blandy textury thing I personally crave when I am trying to eat a bunch of really flavorful things. Again, like everyone says, these are not any kind of noodle you have ever had. I feel like if you are going to change your diet you MUST not expect substitutes to equal the 'real thing.' You have to find a way to make it a new thing that you like rather than trying to make it be that old thing. This will serve you well with many types of substitutions. Good luck!

I've tried a few brands of Konjac noodles and this is the first one that had zero odor to it. While rinsing is still a good idea, this doesn't require the multiple rinses other brands need to get rid of the smell. The noodles have a good texture for Konjac. While there is no real taste to a Konjac noodle, they pick up flavors very well. I usually use them as a rice replacement in a stir fry, especially one with a spicy sauce. My go-to brand for Konjac moving forward. Five stars.
