I think they're called sharitaki? In shelf stable bags, just drain, rinse, and pan fry or boil a bit? Groupon has a half price special and I was wondering how these taste?

I have -- they're good -- but as with most noodles, it's what you ADD to it that makes them good.

What did you put on them? I was thinking of a chicken breast and veggie Asian stir fry or a low fat chicken pesto with sautéed veggies.

I found them to be just a little flatter tasting when compared to regular noodles.
As was said earlier, its what you add to them, which will make all the difference.

It depends on what brand you buy. Some are okay. Some are chewy and smell like fish when you open the bag. I put some in my pressure cooker and cooked them for thirty minutes at high pressure, and they got softer and more like true noodles.I am on an extremely low carb medically supervised diet. Therefore, they are the only noodles I get to eat. That automatically makes them a little better than they really are.

I should have mentioned the brand I like, House Foods. Those are the best. I prefer the angel hair. Not fond of the macaroni shaped ones. The sauce or whatever you put on them doesn't go inside.

I bought a case of Miracle Noodles, opened one bag, smelled it and through the whole case in the garbage.

The key is rinse, rinse, rinse away the fishiness.

Not fond of the Miracle brand noodles at all. They are the ones that are fishy smelling and too chewy. They are made of some kind of yam fiber. Their "rice" version feels so odd in my mouth that I can not even bring myself to swallow it. The House Foods brand is made from both yam fiber and tofu. It makes them softer.

Have you tried spaghetti squash as a substitute for noodles? I am on a low carb diet and it is the only type "noodle" I eat.
These days, I spend a lot of time thinking about the hereafter... I go somewhere to get something, and then wonder what I'm "here after."
