【Izukappa Zen-Rice froｍ Japan】Dry Konjac Rice, 35 oz (1000 g) Shirataki Rice, No Sugar, No Fat, Low Calorie, Freezeable, Vegan-Friendly, Zero Gluten, Ready to Eat.

First of all, if you are not familiar, konjac flour is near entirely dietary fiber that cannot be digest by human. This is a wonderful product "if used properly." While it is good for digestive system, eating too much at once will give you... let's just say a very bad time.Thus this product is best to be mixed into regular rice to cut back the carb and boost the fiber. The instructions on the package is written in broken English and very confusing. Here is my "pot in pot" pressure cooker method to make nice, fully cooked but slightly hard rice that is almost indistinguishable from regular steamed rice.1 cup regular white rice, rinced.1/2 cup zen rice, dry1 1/4 cup of waterPut everything in a smaller pot, put the smaller pot into the pressure cooker, add 1/2 cup of water in to the pressure cooker (not into the smaller pot), pressure cook for 17minutes.

The term 'rice' is confusing because it really isn't a rice at all. It looks somewhat like it, but that's about it. According to the ingredient list it is made of tapioca starch, konjac flour, shell calcium and vitamin C. This particular shirataki rice appears to be of decent to perhaps even good quality as far as I can tell.It is very easy to cook, it can either be boiled in water for around 5 minutes or it can be sauteed for several minutes or even a combination of both cooking methods. It gets a crispy texture when sauteed only and is a bit more gelatinous when boiled in water. As long as it is seasoned properly it can be relatively tasty.The main issue I have with it is the fact that it is marketed as a better rice alternative, however rice costs a lot less and is superior in terms of texture and taste. I would only consider ordering this konjac rice again if it were very competitively priced compared to real rice. This is not a gourmet food item that can justify a high dollar amount, but rather a flavor neutral, inferior rice substitute.

Honestly, it’s a scam. It says it’s low calorie and low carb, but it has 49g of carbs PER SERVING. First ingredient is tapioca starch. And it’s 35 dollars for a product that is not even what it is advertised as. Dissapointed.

My partner needs to watch his sugar and carbs due to diabetes and we've been liking this as an add-in to our regular rice. I typically make 2 cups of uncooked rice at a time, but with this I make 1 1/2 cups of regular rice with 1/2 cup of this added in and we enjoy the texture and flavor.I rinse the rice like usual and then I add this to the rice cooker and add the amount of water needed for the rice (3 cups of water when I make 1 1/2 cups of rice with 1/2 cup of this), then I stir it with a rice paddle and start the rice cooker like normal.I like the flavor and texture of this and my partner and housemate did not notice the difference in the rice until I told them that I had added this in.

I wanted to give this a try and see if I can notice any flavor difference. It cooked well for me and seems to taste pretty good. I just like to eat a little bit of it or mix it in with some vegetables. I would recommend it as a rice substitute.

I love rice.I mean, I make it several times a week in my rice cooker, so when I saw this "rice," I was excited to try it.I thought, "wow, this stuff must be really good for 35 dollars a bag!"Well, it is, sort of.I followed the package directions, and mixed this 50-50 with my regular white rice in the rice cooker.The result was a bowl of white rice. When eating it, I could not distinguish between this rice and the regular white rice. So, it tastes just like white rice.But what is the point of this? I understand this is made from potatoes, and is not actually "rice." Is it healthier than regular white rice? You can decide that for yourself, but here's a comparison on the nutritional values of this vs. my regular white rice:***** Calories per serving: Regular rice, 160; ZenRice, 207.***** Cholesterol per serving: Regular rice, O; ZenRice, O.***** Sodium per serving: Regular rice, 0; ZenRice, 47 mg.***** Fat per serving: Regular rice, 0; ZenRice, 0.***** Total Carbohydrate per serving: Regular rice, 36 Grams (no added sugar); ZenRice, 49 Grams (no added sugar).I just don't see the nutritional advantage to this over just regular white rice.I will continue to add it to my regular rice when cooking, to stretch it out a bit, but I would not buy this product again for this price.Three stars.

This product may be great. Unfortunately, it came with very limited cooking instructions that were confusing at best. I will continue to attempt to get something edible following other instructions I have found on the internet, but my hopes are not high.If you're experienced with Zen-Rice, give it a try - your results may be fantastic and I'll stand corrected. But, for a novice with this product, it is a bit disappointing.
