YUHO Shirataki Konjac 8 Pack Inside, Vegan, Gluten Free, Fat-Free, Keto Friendly, Low Carbs 53.61 Oz (1520 g)

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.

My favorite food .. goes great with anything you want to use with like regular spaghetti . Tonight i'm making a chicken soup with the Shirataki noodles . . Taste great with pesto ,Alfredo sauce w/mushrooms . Any good spaghetti sauce .

Decided to try these as a comparison to the Miracle brand. Cost less but pack is 6.7 oz vs 8 oz. No odor noticed. Net carbs the same. Seems to be a bit more al dente than the Miracle brand, but not off putting Absorbs flavor about the same. Tried both in making chicken noodle soup.

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.

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.

Pretty good. One retail looking box with multiple packs of noodles. I had purchased a couple of different varieties because I wasn't sure which style I would like better (thicker spaghetti, or this angel hair). I primarily want to use it to bulk up some soup. It's cold weather now, and I keep having a craving for broth, and while I want to add something to it to bulk it up, I dont want to add carbs and cals. So here we are. I like shirataki noodles already, and I know it is often a matter of finding the right size style of noodle that makes or breaks the dish. As with any, drain and rinse the noodles well. I never use shirataki noodles as a spaghetti pasta replacement, usually I stick to other dishes just to bulk it up. This kinda works for my quick noodle soup need, though I think these are better suited for pho or other Asian inspired dishes. I say this because the noodle reminds me more of a thin rice noodle. Slightly rubbery, but good. I think I will want to cook them more, or fry them a little for best taste and texture. I haven't yet tried their spaghetti noodle , which I want to use to replicate Skinny Pasta cup of soup but will do so and report back here when I am ready to write that review. EDIT: Tried the other noodle. No go. While I have never had any issue digesting shirataki noodles, and was fine with this angel hair variety, the spaghetti ones I linked above basically um.. came out the other end whole. Gross. Also they were extra rubbery and didnt pick up other flavors. So basically boring, and weirdly chewy. 1 star for the spaghetti. 3.5 stars for this angel hair. I hemmed and hawed between a 3 star rating and 4 star since we cant do half stars. I went with 3, which means it is "just OK". I know I wont buy them again, but will use them up. (The spaghetti ones I wont use. Waste of money).

Note: this does not have oat flour or oat fiber to bring its taste and texture closer to regular pasta; look at the other listing they have that is more yellow in color, or other brands. I'm glad I got these, so I could try out konjac in different forms. This is good Shirotaki. Least amount of water in package I've had so far, texture is softer, taste is what I'd expect without the fishy odor. Price is also good. Don't expect your normal noodles or rice. It's not the same. The "rice" is like a version of the tapioca pearls in the taro tapioca pudding you find in some Asian restaurants. The "fettuccine" noodles have a surprisingly pleasant softer texture. Like a softer version of flat mung bean noodles (or mung bean noodles cooked for a longer amount of time). The noodles are like a thicker mung bean noodle. Mung bean noodles have a slight flavor to them that feels more flavor neutral where it seems to amplify flavors, but these konjac noodles have even less flavor that feels more like the feeling water has on your tongue and seems to dampen existing flavors. For example, regular rice seems to absorb flavors and the rice seems to fluff up that flavor, but these konjac rice almost seem to "cancel" out the existing flavors like adding or drinking water with your food, or like adding lime to a dish. This stuff definitely requires planning to make it taste good. You can try to use existing recipes for regular noodles or rice, but you're really just using a poor imitation that is only palatable because it reminds you of something that you actually like. IMO it's like trying to use rice cakes instead of bread, or doing lettuce burgers. For comparison: local Asian grocer has Shirataki 7oz for $1.79, but that has a large amount of water and has the strong fishy smell and more tough texture. It is therefore much more limiting in the dishes you can make, and you get less for what you pay for.

Great noodles. I created my own sauce for a stir fry with beef cut in strips. These noodles worked great for it. Just rinse and stir fry to get the flavor and are ready to eat. Also, no guilt since they have 5 calories only
