You have to wash them several times and dry them with papertowels for best results. The smell I couldn't get pass, so good luck. Let me know how it goes.

They are nowhere near close to Pasta noodles, not within a million miles. The smell is horrific, I washed/rinsed/dried over and over and over, and the smell and texture was horrific.

Spaghetti squash is much better in my opinion. I actually mixed it with regular angel hair Pasta noodles and my husband and son gobbled it down. For me, personally, the Shirataki noodles are disgusting.

I've had them numerous times and really enjoyed them! I didn't find the foul smell everyone talks about??!!! :huh: I opened the package, rinsed them and cooked them up, added some spaghetti sauce with a few meatballs and VOILA! :lol: They weren't fantastic but they weren't bad either. Try them out (they're only about $2) and judge for yourself :)

They make a rice looking version that I find works well in a Soup. If you don't like the texture of the noodles (some people find them rubbery or slimy), you don't really have to chew the rice-like ones. It's very filling and, in the right broth, you can't taste them.

The texture is what got me. They are NO where near a spaghetti noodle. Its like saying soy milk tastes just like regular milk.. Ummm NO it doesnt, but some people do not mind the flavour of soy. So that being said some people do not mind the noodles. I personally will not buy them again.

They are okay. Nothing to write home about. They are a good substitute for the motion of spaghetti. I've enjoyed them with shrimp and veggies in a cheese sauce when I was doing MediFast. Like Tiffykins said, spaghetti squash is a yummier option.

I tried some. Mine were made from a yam plant, not from Tofu. The smell when opened was really fishy to me, but after rinsing in a colandar several times, the smell went away. I dried them on paper towels then added them to a steam veggie dish with a soy based sauce. I mixed them in together. We had the dish along with rotisserie chicken. My husband thought they were the noodles from the Ramen noodles. That is what the texture is like to me. I thought they were OK, but they didn't impress me too much.

I did the spaghetti squash recently, with a homemade spaghetti sauce and some meatballs. I really enjoyed that.

Fishy smelly, slimy and rubbery. I wanted so much to like these. I couldn't do it.

They're gross, and I love soy. The only thing they have in common with spaghetti is the shape.

NV?

I typically like most things soy, so its not a flavor of soy issue for me. They're just gross.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
