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

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.

It’s a good product and it’s a good substitute for carbs but has only 2 grams of carbs instead 50 or 60 . Of course it’s blend but I cooked with garlic, chilli pepper, tumeric and ginger, so it was tasty for me. I ordered it again. Will used as replacement for rice or noodles.

Ich weis nicht ob es an meinem Geschmackssinn lag oder dass die vorherigen Bewertungen einfach nicht stimmen. Ich hab dies als Reisbeilage zu Hähnchen mit Curry Soße verwendet. Beim ersten bissen dachte ich mir, ist besser als ich erwartet hätte, aber nach für nach hatte ich das Gefühl das ich einfach nur noch auf Gummi rum kaue. Es hieß man muss zum Essen viel trinken, was ich auch gemacht hab, trotzdem hatte ich anschließend Sodbrennen und Schwindelanfälle. Ich hab alles im Nachhinein verworfen.

You can tell you knows how to cook and who does not based on alot of these comments. The noodles don't have flavour because it adopts whatever flavour you cook with. My advice would be cook high flavoured dishes, Asian dishes go really well, or stews to go with the "rice" variety. I make vermicelli stir-fry with lots of vegetables and air fryer chicken. Soya sauce, ginger, these help with added flavour. There are lots of ideas online. The texture is different but that's because it's NOT real noodles, it's a root vegetable that's in the shape of noodles. I also cook mine longer than recommend. If you are trying to lose weight then it's definitely something that will fill you up with no added calories.

This is the 4th brand I’ve tried. Yummy. No smell. Doesn’t dissolve or turn to mush. Good level of sturdiness. Tastes like rice noodles/crystal noodles. Realy great. And NO GUILT. Konjac is like the secret to weight loss. You can feel ‘full’ but with no calories. I eat these straight out the packet as they are ready to eat. It’s the easiest thing to reach for. And the packaging with this brand is realy good too. Everything was packed and sealed safely and protected. Good company that makes these noodles because they must care about that. The individual packets are easy to open too. Will buy again at the right time.
