YUHO Shirataki Konjac Keto Rice: Gluten Free Plant Based Low Carbs Vegan Fat Free Noodle Rice - 8 Pack Inside 53.61 OZ

I’ve been using konjac noodles for years. They’re difficult to find, every grocery has them in a different area. When you figure that out they move them again. These are just as great and wonderful and cheaper than my previous local ones. These are essentially carb free. If you follow the directions they are tasteless themselves and pick up the flavors of your sauces and seasonings. I firmly believe each bag has 1 continuous noodle. Place a mesh colander or one with small holes in the sink under the faucet. Turn on the water, cut open the bag and dump contents into the colander and rinse really well. Then cut into lengths you like. People complain of the odor upon opening the bag. They are preserved in the same liquid as hominy in the can. Might have a slight fishy odor. Just rinse well. If you’re using canned mushrooms, add to the noodles and drain. Some people like to set the liquid from the can to one side for the recipe. I let them sit awhile, 20 minutes or so. It shortens the next step. At this point they can just sit awhile. Heat a heavy pan on medium low. I like a frying pan for this step as it makes thing go faster. Add the noodles and mushrooms. Move them around in the pan while heating until they just start to stick. Do not grease the pan. You’re just drying them off. As they dry they will start sticking so you know you’re ready for the next step. Depending on how well drained this can take 5-15 minutes. Don’t turn up the heat to go faster, not a good idea. If you’re going to brown meat at this point, dump the dried noodles (and mushrooms) onto a plate. They can sit fir awhile at this point, if necessary. The noodles will soak up lots of flavors. The mushrooms will do the same. I learned the mushroom trick by accident. The noodles don’t mush. They hold their slightly firm consistency. It’s not quite al dente but similar. In the past 25+ years I’ve searched high and low for an acceptable pasta product. So far they’ve all had a weird flavor, strange consistency, some mush, some gritty. I can open several bags and make a large casserole to portion out and freeze for later. These work really well. I keep looking for other options but so far I’ve found funny colors, strange flavors, noodles that fall apart, etc. If you want spaghetti or macaroni and cheese with few ingredients to cover up the weird noodles you’ll really appreciate these. I’d really like lasagne noodles and some more pasta shapes. I’m hoping more people will try and like these so they’ll buy more, tell their friends and the prices will get lower. And no one has offered me anything for my wonderful opinion. My mother, husband, 2 daughters and several other family and friends are type 2 diabetics. This has been the only pasta product they all like.

I like Konjac rice better than riced cauliflower, especially for soups such as stuffed pepper soup. This rice substitute keeps its shape even if I cook the recipe in my Instant Pot. Great for a Ketovore way of eating. I have purchased this product, as well as the angel hair and broader pastas, a number of times. I rinse well under cold water and have newver had a fishy taste or aroma. Nice staple to have on my pantry shelves. Heartily recommend.

Its fine but for the price tag I think I will just stick with cauliflower rice or quinoa as a rice alternative.

A great choice as a rice substitute in a fried rice recipe. Taste and texture is great.

That's what I would give this product if I could: zero stars. It's not that I hated it. It's just that there is absolutely nothing to like about these, as compared to any regular food you might eat. But specifically compared to pasta and rice, here are the facts as I experienced them: The texture is nothing at ALL like pasta or rice. It is ridiculously chewy, almost impossible to chew, actually. The noodles do not separate or get any softer, even after boiling for 20 straight minutes while trying to separate them with a fork. I ended up having to cut the spaghetti clod into pieces with my kitchen shears so it would fit into my mouth. Some have said they have no flavor of their own (which is true) but that they take on the flavor of whatever you cook them with (which is not true -- even cooking them in a broth flavored with hot chili pepper flakes the noodles themselves were still bland as could be when pulled out of the broth with a fork). I wanted to be fair in my review so I did try all three of the different items in the box. The rice packets were marginally better than the noodles in that they were easier to separate somewhat. Same problem with texture and flavor however. The remainder of the unused packets went straight into the trash bin. I wouldn't even bother donating these to a food bank for starving children. The ONLY good thing about these is that you consume only 5 calories and no net carbs per serving, presuming that you manage to choke a whole serving down. Bottom line: Save yourself 15 bucks, and instead cut up a wad of old rubber bands into large or tiny pieces, cook them in a flavored broth for 5 minutes or 50 minutes, put some in your mouth and chew for five minutes before spitting them out. That pretty much sums up my experience of the actual product.

Normally, I'd give this 4 stars. But Firstly, I don't like a seller trying to influence the review process (which is against Amazon policy.) They send buyers an email stating: "We sincerely invite you to give our products a five-star better reviews." As I stated, I would have given it 4 stars, as it tasted as well as the other Konjac no calorie noodles (these do have 5 calories a serving.) I've tried. But, these are SO expensive and come in such small packages, I have to take away a star for that and the push to give them a higher review. I normally buy my noodles at a large Asian market. They are found in the refrigerated section and costs $1.69 per 10 ounce bag. These bags are about 5 oz and come to $1.88 each. I'm paying more than twice the price for these noodles, because I need to use 2 packages for one meal for us. Therefore, it comes to $3.76 a meal, instead of $1.69. It may not sound like much, but over $2.00 more on pasta is quite a bit. Anyway, other than the price being too steep, they are just fine. I fix them, like I always do. Thoroughly rinse them in cold water in a colander, rub them with a paper towel to get as dry as possible. Next, throw them into a hot, dry skillet (that I keep just for this. Heat until you start hearing a popping sound (stirring occasionally.) They should be pretty dry. The dryer they are, the more they taste like actual pasta. Whenever I make stir-fry, I use the noodles, under the stir-fry. If you have some on hand, you can always throw some leftovers on them, a little bottled Italian or Asian sauce & you have a quick meal. I usually have leftover chicken and mushrooms in my fridge and put some bottled Alfredo sauce on it, then have a little packaged chopped salad and it's a super quick meal. Thank you for reading my review.

First, as for the “bad” smell, it is the smell of calcium hydroxide, aka lime. Not the fruit but the stone. If you want to know what it smells like, wet a piece of concrete and smell it. Concrete is lime. The product is made with it and packaged in a solution of it. There is nothing wrong with it. It is edible. It’s added to pickles and tortillas and lots of other foods. You must rinse the calcium hydroxide liquid off the noodles or your noodle will smell like lime. Once washed, there’s no smell. Second, if making dry or sauced dishes (not soup) you must fry your noodles. They need to be dried out. Just toss them in a pan without oil and cook them. Once they start sticking to the pan, they are heated, dry, and done. You’ll also see that there’s no water in the pan. I add spices to the noodles while they dry like red pepper flakes. The texture isn’t pasta. It’s like an Asian noodle. They are weird in say spaghetti. What do I mean weird? Like image you made red sauce spaghetti with ramen noodles. It would taste good but the texture would be off in your brain. What are these noodles good in? Ramen, stir fry, pad Thai, anything Asian. Do they taste like anything? Yes and no. They taste like nothing the way tofu tastes like nothing. What do they feel like? You’ve never eaten anything like it. It’s not like gelatin either. It has a texture and it has a bite to it. It’s not off putting at all. The portion sizes are correct for diabetic and Harvard diet — 1/4 of your plate. If you are a big eater you’ll need three. But if you are eating these like me, you’re trying to lose weight so the portion size makes sense to me. These noodles are good. I had them with red pasta sauce. I can’t wait to make ramen tomorrow. It’s gonna be killer.

I was skeptical when I ordered these YUHO shirataki konjac noodles because I have tried other low-carb pastas that tasted like sadness in a bag. But wow, these are everything Amazon promised and more. First off, they are shelf-stable, which I love. I keep a few packs in my pantry, and they are ready whenever I need a quick meal. I open the bag, pour the noodles into a mesh strainer, rinse them thoroughly, and then toss them into a frying pan for a couple of minutes. I like to add my favorite Rao’s sauce ❤️ and let them cook together for a bit so the noodles soak up all that flavor. That is the secret here. Do not skip the sauce step. The texture is not exactly Italian pasta, but it is surprisingly close for something with almost no carbs and only ten calories per serving. When you are avoiding pasta, this is some seriously good eats. I can eat these a couple of times a week and feel totally satisfied. They fill me up, help me stay on track with my weight loss, and keep me from ordering takeout. Win win. Food is so expensive now that these actually feel like a smart, affordable meal. They let me eat something cozy and comforting without wrecking my goals. If you are keto, low-carb, or just trying to cut calories, this is a pantry staple you will be glad to have. Just remember to cook them a little extra with a really good sauce. Cold straight from the bag is not my jam, but warm with sauce is chef’s kiss 👩‍🍳✨ Highly recommend giving these a try. Your pasta cravings will thank you! Great for keto diets! And super easy for meal prep. Pro Tip: Be sure to rinse them thoroughly, as in very well for the best taste experience.
