For those that are new to this, you do need to rinse these for a couple minutes before cooking. Then toss them in a wok or pan for two or so minutes, just to cook off some of the excess water, before putting sauce in with them and letting them finish cooking in the sauce as it heats. I've seen complaints that these can be rubbery or even unable to be chewed. Although they have an interesting feel when you bite into them, they are not as chewy or hard if you don't overcook them. You need to be careful about that. They shouldn't be cooked for long, especially without sauce, or you'll end up with noodles you can't enjoy. Do not cook them alone in a pan or wok for more than two or three minutes (and not on high!) or you'll end up with an inedible disaster. I cook them around medium-high. But again, no more than a couple minutes without sauce. This brand is nice because there's not a strong fish odor when you open them. They don't have much flavor either, which is exactly what I want so I can taste the sauce/toppings. It cooks up fast, so it's nice for those nights when I haven't planned my dinner ahead of time. With less than ten minutes of prep and cooking time combined, it's a nice treat without the work. Lazy meal: if regular Alfredo sauce is too boring, add Montreal steak seasoning, pre-cooked chicken (you can get this refrigerated fairly inexpensively from Costco), and some steamed broccoli (the steam in bag kind, do not use another pot) and you've got a full meal in a few minutes. Start the broccoli in the microwave before you do anything else and it'll be ready to add to the sauce right when you need it.

I've never been a fan of shiritaki/konjac noodles. They always taste fishy and almost saturated to right before the point of meh. However, these have to be the best I have ever tasted! I prepared them by placing them in a bowl with some warm water, and microwaving them for 3 minutes. Then, I drained them. Normally with other brands, I have to repeat this process 3 - 5 times. However, these noodles only needed a single rinse. To be honest, I am not sure if microwaving was even necessary. PRO-TIP: I like to drop the noodles into a non-stick skillet and cook them (without oil) until they stop popping. This dehydrates them a wee bit and provides a better texture. It could be the lack of fishy flavor, but finishing these off in both a pad thai and a marinara sauce allowed them to take on the flavors of the dish; a lot of other brands seem to taste almost like nothingness. Packaging: A Mixed Bag These actually come well-packaged with a couple of inserts if you are new to shiritaki noodles, or have questions if they are good. If I recall correctly, there is a visual for a spoiled bag. However, these are double packaged, which seems a bit wasteful, and I felt that I anticipated there would be more product than there actually was. In fact, I am pretty sure these contain less noodles than most brands. This didn't bother me due to the superior quality, but if you typically eat one bag, you might be eating 1.5 instead. Overall: I would recommend this product. It has a fantastic texture and lacks the fishy taste that is usually associated with these type of noodles.

So I read a lot of reviews and found the common remarks as true, 1) when you open the packet there is a very slight fish smell BUT as soon as you rinse them it is 100% gone! 2) Very easy for a quick meal, does not require boiling. After I let them drain I just pressed them gently between a couple pieces of paper towel which made them nice and dry(ish) to remove excess water. 3) I mixed them into a chicken sausage and veggie dish I made and they added some much needed bulk/pasta to my meal and was very satisfying! 4) The consistency is a bit rubbery and some people liked it, others did not but for me, my first bite was hm not so bad, I could deal with it because it tasted good but then as I continued eating ended saying I really like these - a small price to pay for noodles that were delicious and healthy! In Weight Watchers they are zero points for the whole package (my friend scanned the pkg). So I'd say give them a try if you are open minded and looking for alternatives to stay on track for health an/or dieting (for me both). Just remember nothing that is not the real thing is not going to taste exactly like them BUT you may find, as I have, that you will get used to alternative foods and then end up loving them! I can't wait to experiment with them in other recipes!!! They are a bit pricy, as is all this kind of stuff, but for me I don't mind and I make it last.

These noodle are the best konnyaku/konjac noodle I have been able to find for sale online. However, one package equals one person's dinner portion - so I feel the price is too high at about $4.50 per and so that's why I give 3 stars instead of 5. No "fishy" flavor which is a plus. Perfectly bland and and can be made to taste like anything you add to them. Of course they are a bit rubbery because they are konjac and that's how it is. Great for low carb/ keto diet needs.

I started a keto plan a little less than two weeks ago. I was worried I wouldn't be able to stick to it if I was prohibited from eating bread and pasta. Happily, I have found a great bread replacement and now have found a pasta alternative as well. I agree with many of the reviews as far as the noodles being tasteless and having a bit of a rubbery texture, but alot of Asian style noodles are of the same or similar consistency, so it's not completely alien. These are also pretty much odorless right out of the package, but I still rinsed well and boiled for about three minutes before "drying them out" in a hot skillet. My first recipe was buttered parmesan noodles. So simple, delicious, and the best part. Really filling. Tonight I'll be making chicken mushroom alfredo. Yummy. Overall, I'm very pleased with this product and will definitely recommend them.

These were terrible. Realistically it’s like eating water. They came packaged in some juice. But the texture is very slimy I found some better low carb noodles at the grocery store store in the frozen isle. I would not recommend these based on taste and price.

I have ordered the Well Lean noodles quite a few times. We originally tried them out because we were doing a low-carb diet and these seemed to be the closest thing to pasta without all the added carbs. I’m no longer doing low-carb, but I still continue to order these because they taste great and are they really healthy. They come packaged in double layers— an outer papery (?) layer and the actual noodles are in a plastic layer since they are in a water base. I rinse the noodles in water and dry them as best as I can (just a quick shake in a colander). Since these noodles are already cooked, you just need to sauté them in a pan (I sauté until there is no visible water left on them). Then you can create your meal as you please. These no not have a weird taste to them and really do take on the flavors of the ingredients you add. They are a bit chewy, but I actually like this and even my picky-eater kids enjoy eating them too. I have not tried the fettuccine yet, but if they are anything like the noodles, I’m sure they will be great too. I also want to mention that Well Lean has amazing customer service. My recent order had an item missing so I contacted them. They responded quickly and sent me a new pack of the variety pack right away and also refunded me. I feel like nowadays it’s not always a given that customers will receive solid customer service, but Well Lean sure went above and beyond my expectations. Definitely recommend! 😁

Tastes great and very low calorie!
