Miracle NoodleMiracle Rice - Konjac Rice, Keto Rice, Plant-Based, Gluten-Free, Soy Free, Low Carb Rice, Low-Calorie Rice, Grain Free, Perfect for Stir-Fry, Rice Pilaf, & Rice Pudding - 8 Oz, 6-Pack

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 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.
