 I give it four stars White Konjac Shirataki Angel Hair Pasta Noodles - 6 X 7.0 Oz - $16.99/ $2.84 per package - Wheat Free, Soy Free The noodle itself was clean, bland, and fresh in flavor. The fishy odor in the packing liquid rinsed off quickly and completely. To prepare I drained the packing liquid then filled the package with warm tap water and poured it off three times. Next I poured the noodls in a strainer and rinsed for about two minutes under running water. Last, I soaked them for half an hour in warm tap water changing the water twice; then rinsed and drained. This was over kill as the fishy odor was gone after the first rinse but I had heard so much negative about this I took no chances. Even so, rinsing was quick with each step taking two or three minutes. I cooked these using a dry roasting method. In a no stick skillet pre heated on high, I cooked the drained noodles for exactly one minute. After cooking I removed the pan from the heat and added half a tablespoon of canola oil an a tablspoon of prepared stir fry sauce along with a sprinkle of dried seasonings. Mix and serve. That's it. One package was about a cup of noodles. They are not pasta so if that's what you are looking for you will be disapointed. They are a lot like celophane noodles found in some Asian recipies. These were neither tough or chewey but had some 'bite' to them. |

V'N MY RNY. WORKING FOR ME BECAUSE I WORK FOR IT.
That's what I wad soooo afraid of. I am very sensitive to odors so I looked for a Japanese brand hoping the folks who eat this stuff regularly would not tolerate something that smelled so gross.
This was much better than I expected. I did not smell it at all when I cut the pack open and I was braced for the assault. I had to bring it to my nose. It was a mild fishy smell and not the knock you out odor I was expecting.
Two minutes of running warm tap water and I could not smell it at all anymore. I tasted a piece and could not taste anything funky. I continued to wash them just as a percaution.
I think the fish funk is brand related. I am going to stick with this brand when I buy these again. They remind me of a noodle I used to get in the Chinese retaurant that I don't allow myself to have anymore. Now a little fresh ginger, garlic, scallion, and stir fry sauce and I have my dish.
You know I'm a big girl at heart cause I'm so excited to find a good low carb low cal food.

This is the link to the brand I bought. A lot of folks reject them bcause of a strong fishy smell. I can't vouch for other brands but these were ok.

I just added a tablespoon of kikkoman stir fry sauce and a half tablespoon of canola oil plus onion powder, bell's seasoning and parsley flakes. No protein (my bad) but I was too lazy to fix anything. This was done in minutes.
I'm going to do a little fresh ginger, garlic, scallion combo with pork or chicken. I keep Aisian sauces around for quick seasoning and variety.
Many folks want this as a spaghetti substitute. It would be ok with any pasta sauce but don't expect it to taste like an italian dinner. Un like pasta, these noodles have no real flavor of their. It will tate like the seasonings you use.
