    I tried these after seeing them on Hungry Girl.... YUCK! lol. And first of all when you open them out of the package they seriously smell like ROTTEN FISH....not even joking. Was even enough to make my boyfriend almost puke and he eats ANYTHING! :).... sadly, they are too good to be true. :(

    In order for them to be edible, you MUST rinse them thoroughly and pat them dry. Then you can use them however you would use normal noodles. They have a weird texture but past that they aren't bad. I've made yummy cheese pasta with it before.

    I strongly urge you to try the angelhair pasta ones, they're the most like actual pasta. Also, after rinsing them thoroughly, drying them out a bit in a hot pan is good :D helps them to get a more normal texture and it will also enable the noodles to soak up some flavour. On a similar note, marinading them overnight in something with flavour really helps. They literally have no flavour (despite the sometimes fishy smell of the liquid they come packed in), so allowing them to soak in some teriyaki or whatever sort of sauce you might use to give them a bit of punch really helps.

    You MUST rinse them thoroughly. The smell is just from what they are packaged in, not the actual noodles. They are a decent substitute for pasta, despite having no real flavor on their own. Use flavorful sauces and you won't miss the pasta.

    I haven't tried these, but have you tried the brown rice pasta from Trader Joe's? It's delicious! Best of luck to you.

    I found mine in the refridge section of Whole Foods, near all the tofu stuff.

    I tried them, and the smell didn't bother me at all. The taste was just fine. The texture... a bit rubbery, like calamari. :indifferent:

    It wasn't inedible by any stretch, and at one tenth the calories of regular pasta, if I was really watching my calories it would be a good substitute. But I'm perfectly fine with regular pasta.

    I ordered a sample pack off their website and got a little of everything. It was fast service too, I ordered on a Saturday got them on a wed so I was happy about that. We have been trying them and they are great. Yes they smell bad when you open them, but follow the directions and they don't smell bad. I like that we can just use them sometimes for a healthier top raman or even just to mix with real pasta and rice.

    Eat them like Asians do -- stir fry them with your vegetables/meat/whatever. The fishy smell goes away with cooking.

    I have bought them from a Japanese foods store. Apparently it's the most popular item among Anglo shoppers.

    What's the exact name of them, I forget.

    I like Shirataki noodles. I use them as stirfry noodles with bell peppers, mushrooms, strips of grilled tofu, shrimp and garnished with fresh sprouts.

    RINSE, RINSE, RINSE. (as already pointed out)

    Once I got past the smell, I couldn't get past the cartilage-like texture. It's worth a shot though.

    I bought some but ended up throwing them away, too gross looking and smelling to eat.

    Instead of Miracle Noodles I buy the Tofu Shirataki noodles. They are a few more calories but pretty decent after you rinse them properly.

    This! Exactly. I got mine from Netrition.com.

    In my opinion, they taste horrible. They have no actual taste, but a strong smell that takes many hot water washes to get rid of. I tried to make them tastier by adding tomato sauce. No luck. I gave up on them.

    my grandma is really excited to try these for asian food dishes...I saw some other people posted about shiritaki noodles. I think they are a bit cheaper and are the same product more or less. I'm looking forward to trying them and am definitely going to RINSE RINSE RINSE them & maybe marinade in low sodium soy?

    I, too, get the House Foods Tofu Shiritaki Noodles. They're more "normal" looking. I rinse them, and then put them in a spicy garlic lime shrimp dish. They take on the flavor of whatever you put them in. My husband - who is very much a food traditionalist and doesn't take easily to new "momma food" (what my family calls food I eat) - likes them.

    Seriously, it's the heating that's important, just like with nam pla (fish sauce). The odor changes when they're fried.
