Miracle Noodles - zero calories

So, I saw these flash on this website and bought them.  They are like pasta noodles without any flavor, but, I ate them with tons of veggies on them and olive oil -- and garlic and they were alright.  I can see these noodles making a good chicken soup.  You can't beat the fact that they have zero calories.  I am going to try them with more recipes as they seem to soak up the flavor.  Great discovery. 

Agree, 100%.

To me, konjac noodles are REALLY similar to asian glass noodles (korean japchae for example) and I find these noodles to be a GREAT replacement in asian dishes!

When you say they're similar to Asian glass noodles, do you mean in taste or texture or both? I love glass noodles! I've been curious about these for a while now, but I haven't tried them since I don't want to waste money if I end up not liking it.

Well glass noodles are actually sometimes made from yams partially it seems (same thing as konjac!)... to me except for the fishy smell, once you cook it it tastes/chews pretty similar. It's a bit chewy and doesn't like taste like anything by itself. I would make japchae with this if I knew how haha. Korean people also put glass noodles into some soups and stews so they might work nicely in asian soup dishes. If you are ok with glass noodles, you would be ok with this. Just wash it throughly and then heat it a bit to get rid of the smell! :D

I HATE konjac in its original form (huge fishy smelling jelly) btw although I love glass noodles and the miracle noodles so it might differ from people to people.
