I absolutely LOVE these noodles. I’m not doing Keto but I do “watch” my carb intake & was using zucchini noodles but came across these & cant get enough of them. 1 serving, I usually do 2, is only 15 calories
(0 fat, 0 sugar, 4g Carbs, 3g Dietary Fiber, 1g of protein). They kinda have the consistency of glass noodles with basically no taste but they do hold sauce well & absorb whatever you put on them. I’ve used them in so many different ways & it has really given me so many new options to get out of the “same ol dish” rut. If you do use them, the package says to parboil them; I just empty them into a strainer, pan fry them in a skillet, & add them to whatever I want-sauces, stir fry, casseroles.

    I do the same. I have never boiled them but you do need to rinse them very well.

    The only thing I've found is they don't freeze well. I used some in a soup I made and froze in individual portions. They dehydrated/got really weird after being frozen.

    Can only stomach them if I put them in a soup (like a pho type soup). Tried it as a pasta dish one time and barely finished them (had already tracked the meal haha)

    I really like them if I dry fry them before use. Doing that entirely changes the consistency and makes them delicious. And I like them best in Asian recipes. They don't seem to go well with Italian-style pasta dishes.

    Love these! I started to get them at the local Asian market, then started finding them at the local supermarket. The package says not to freeze them, which is probably why you had that experience @mom23mangos .

    I’m trying to find the elusive penne version to try to make Mac and cheese. Right now I’m making some sous vide curry chicken and I’ll then mix it with some noodles for lunch tomorrow (I’m smoking ribs for tonight).
