One bag is just enough for one adult portion size, so that equals to $3.00 per serving...for NOODLES!If it were packaged differently, with less water and more noodles, I might be tempted to buy these again, but I feel like I got scammed....big time!
As for taste, it tastes like nothing, and is kind of like the Asian Tapioca balls that you get in drinks! They are tiny, though.
In addition, one of the bags was leaking and smelled horrendous, so I was unable to eat it! |

No, they are not like pasta, but there is no good true low carb pasta for everyone (Some people find that Dreamfields Spaghetti spikes their blood sugar or breaks ketosis, even in a 2 oz portion size). I'd rather eat Miracle Noodles and not have to worry about it. Shirataki act much like rice noodles and are best suited to asian dishes, or recipes specifically developed around shirataki noodles. I've found the rice shape to be the most versatile, so that is what I buy. |
| 296253 | 296253 | B004JRSAJS | AX6R3YXCL9VPR | Melissa Chase | 1 | 1 | 5 | 1343001600 | Good Low Carb Filler | I admit when I first open these noodles the smell is a bit fishy. I don't like fishy whatsoever, so I was relieved when I found a warm water rinse cures the noodles of their "BO". I saute these noodles using a bit of parmesan cheese to give them a bit more body, and throw in bits of lettuce or cabbage, small chunks of pork and a bit of sauce. It's more filling than the meat and veggies alone, it absorbs the flavors very well and it is very low carb and low calorie. The texture is nothing like rice, but I didn't find it hard to get used to. Though you can get used to anything if the right bikini is hanging on your closet door! |

When cooking FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS and there will be no nasty smells or slime. In fact, I usually boil them for a little over a minute to make sure all of the smell is gone.
Using chicken stock makes a BIG difference in flavor. The noodles will soak up the stock and taste delicious. |

I have been a big fan of miracle noodle, but this one is even better. They still stink though, so beware. After soaking in boiling water for 1 minute the smell is gone. |

The article said you would probably have to buy it online so I ordered the 6 pack from Amazon. As others have said the stuff comes in pouches packed in liquid. "Rice" packed in liquid, that's a little strange but the worst part is the God awful smell when you open the bag. I mean WHAT is this stuff packed in?? It's GROSS! I rinsed it forever in the hopes of getting rid of the smell, but never could completely. The finished Jambalaya turned out "OK". This product is similar to pearled barley in size, taste and texture so I think I'll continue to use that in recipes as my rice/noodle replacement. I don't think I can eat the other 4 packs and deal with that smell again!! |
| 296266 | 296266 | B004JRSAJS | A21D6FQXMGKRU1 | CatiousConsumer | 3 | 4 | 2 | 1312416000 | Miracle | This Miracle Noolde Rice is all right, very easy to prepare but really taste like nothing. I prepare 3 out of 5 bags I purchase, and I prefer the Noodle pasta, that is amazing, the rice has a text of small particules in your mouth, just a weird texture when you are chewing. It was okay, but I will stick to the Shirataki Noodles. |
| 296259 | 296259 | B004JRSAJS | AW3H6DF0RG77E | AmazonFan | 1 | 1 | 5 | 1328745600 | Give it a try | Okay, the first time I had this, I HATED it. I expected something close to rice, but as another review pointed out, these are very small balls and are squishy (kind of like tapioca, or "boba").
I decided to give it another shot since I had bought the 6 pack. The 2nd time was bearable, and the 3rd time I actually got used to it, and was able to enjoy my meal.
So if you don't like it on your first or second try, persevere!! 0 carbs/ calories is totally worth it! |

Does this product replace rice? Not in flavor, but in how I use rice. It actually seems more like couscous, risotto, or mini boba pearls. As long as you rinse it well with cold water, then boil it in a big pot of water, you can use it freely. I chop and stir fry onion, celery, mushrooms, cilantro, and garlic with ground turkey and spices, then I toss in the hot "Miracle Rice." Yummy...
"Miracle Rice" is fun to use, especially if you like to experiment with recipes like I do. I made a tabbouleh-like salad with it, and I even made spicy Thai salad with it. It is great to use hot or cold, but never forget to rinse and boil it first, and remember that the more flavorful and spicy your meal is, the better the "Miracle Rice" will absorb the flavor.
The best thing about "Miracle Rice" is that it bulks up your meals as a "carb-substitute," so you don't feel so deprived when you are dieting.
My next experiment is going to be to try to make a low-calorie dessert using "Miracle Rice." Good luck with your own kitchen experiments. |

Kiernan | 1 | 1 | 3 | 1325548800 | Weird Texture | Having tried Miracle Noodles previously, I knew what to expect when I opened the package (horrible smell which dissipates with vigorous rinsing; Klingon-looking food-substance floating in clear liquid). However, the "noodle" varieties look and behave like noodles once you have prepared them. The "rice" resembles tapioca in shape and texture. It still absorbs the flavor of whatever sauce is applied to it, but in no way shape or form did it feel like rice when I was eating it. |

The texture is a bit like eating pearl couscous. It is definitely not like rice, but then again if you wanted rice, you would just eat rice. I wouldn't use this everyday, but it was nice to supplement with dinner on days where I had eaten more than I wanted to. |

The rice shape is easier to use in a meal. I made shrimp with vegetables curry and the rice went well with it. These various forms of the noodles are great since they are carb free and do fill you up but in my experience about an hour or 2 later I am starving because my body realizes I've tricked it or because the noodles digest quickly. |

Upon opening my first package, I realized that 1/2 of the "7 oz" was the watery solution they were packed in.. meaning that one whole package would feed only one adult... we might say expensive to feed two, or three people. I followed the directions to a "T" to remove the fishy odor, and to dry them out before adding my low carb marinara sauce. I also TRIED to cut the noodles in half to shorten their length, and to try and unglue the tangled mess, which was almost impossible to do! After my first bite.. I was pulling these jelly noodles from inbetween my teeth, but worst of all..... I found them almost impossible to swallow, as they stuck to the back of my throat like jellied rubberbands. I had no problem with them being tasteless, but the amount of time you have to spend rinsing, drying, sauteeing (to dry out more), the fact they are a tangled mess of glob, then to almost choke when trying to swallow them is just too much! I MAY give the "rice" noodles a chance, but I'll never buy the angel hair again. I had to throw the rest away because my husband couldn't chew, or swallow them well either.Shirataki Miracle Noodles -Angel Hair (198g) No Carbs! Made with Konjac Glucomannan Brand: Miracle Noodles |

I took seasoning from an oodles of noodles packet and put it on the Shirataki noodles. Still way to much sodium there, but I was just testing them out. They were just ok. I could tell they weren't real noodles. It was a texture thing. I haven't given up on them though. I still plan on trying some of the recipes out from the web site. I also plan to try some of my own recipes out using them in place of other types of noodles. Slightly expensive at Two dollars average for a seven ounce bag. But what diet food is cheap? I even decided to buy the rice noodles and want to give them a try as well. Will get back to you on my final opinion. |
| 296277 | 296277 | B004JRSAJS | A3CDFIXXO0LXCU | Sean Jeffries | 0 | 0 | 4 | 1339632000 | A Good Alternative to Rice | In general, I am a meat and potatoes man. I do not like a lot of vegetables, so for my side dishes I've always eaten things like potatoes, rice, or macaroni. This made things very complicated for me when I was diagnosed with diabetes. I tried the pasta alternatives (such as Dreamfields), but still got glucose spikes with them. I also tried using cauliflower as a rice substitute, but couldn't get past the taste. I was therefore not very optimistic when I placed my first order for Miracle Rice.
Upon opening the package, I did notice the fish smell that other reviewers had described. I rinsed the rice in cool water for about 15 seconds, then boiled it in a pot of water for about a minute. I drained the rice, then spiced it up with kosher salt, pepper, and a dash of Old Bay. I sauteed some venison tenderloins and made some brown gravy from a package.
The end result was a pleasant surprise. The texture was quite different from real rice; there was very little chewing involved. The Miracle Rice did indeed take on the taste of the spices and gravy, and was an acceptable substitute for the real thing. It's a little slimy, and loses heat pretty quickly, but is definitely edible. I will certainly order it again, and am glad to have an alternative for rice that is at least mildly reminiscent of the real thing. |

However, when I opened the bag I was overwhelmed with the bad smell of the product. It smelled like my cat when he has bad fishy breath then licks his dirty fur in an attempt to clean it. Rinsing the product as instructed on the bag didn't help the smell. Blanching the product like instructed on the bag didn't help either. My husband, not knowing I was cooking anything or had any food open, walked into the kitchen and asked, "Why does it smell fishy in here?" I won't order this again because I can't get past the smell. |
