Well Lean Shirataki Konjac Rice - 10 Pack - For Quick Dinner Meals, Ideal for Keto, Paleo, and Low Carb Diets - Ready to Eat, Rice Alternative

This is SOOO good... I made egg fried rice with shrimp, the flavor was unbelievable. Its even better then the real white rice. The final texture of the cooked fried rice dish reminds me of beaten rice - used in some Indian dishes, which makes the rice a bit chewy...for the lack of better term. Since this is almost 0 calories, I can add more meats, olive oil (or coconut oil) and/or nuts and not worry about make it too calorie dense. Since then I have tried several side dishes and everyone of them exceeded my expectation. the best part is no need to spend time cooking rice. Also the product can handle heavy mixing and stirring and still remain fluffy unlike real white rice.I also mixed other cooked grains/cooked dry peas (like green chick peas, black eyed peas) and it turned out great. I can eat so much more and still stay within the meal calorie goal. (I use myfitnesspal to track).Initially, I just got this to balance out the calories during the Christmas holiday season but my order was delayed by 2 weeks (out of stock) and the seller immediately apologized when I contacted them and refunded me as a good will gesture. My packet still arrived on Dec 27th instead of 14th. It was worth the wait. I am customer for life and I have subscribed for auto deliveries now.The only thing I hope they would change - the price is higher than most other brands (but this still is the best tasting and texture, I have tried them all I would continue to buy these.) It is double packed with 2 really high quality packaging. I hope they find a way to reduce the packaging per oz of the product and offer a bulk price for a larger quantity inside each packet. I am sure lot more people would try this if they reduced the price. Either ways, I am sold and I plan on making this a part of my must have pantry items.

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.

update: made soup with the fettuccine noodles, they were okay but, still have that chewy rubber band texture (after being boiled 2 mins this time and pan dried) so best to cut them up which lessens the mouthful and makes them decent in soups... PS: if you make soup with these, do NOT freeze your soup!! i froze one serving of bok choy soup to see what would happen and these noodles were horrid afterwards, had to pick them all out of soup they were so inedible..these are okay, definitely different tasting than others. the oat fiber does give a difference look/feel/taste that is more like thick spaghetti noodles but, they still have that rubber ban squeaky texture when you eat them and that is after rinsing with hot/warm water for 2 minutes and frying them dry to absorb sauce...however it is NOT as bad as some other brands like the miracle ones that i tried out a couple weeks ago.. i did notice towards end of my meal (i uses miso instant spinach mix and added half the water) that the texture actually became less rubbery so i think these thicker noodles would be best for when you are making meals that simmer for a while, the sauce seems to soften them some that way..i probably won’t rebuy these. although they are not fishy smelling, they smell like flowery perfume noodles to my nose and i can still smell if after rinsed under hot water for 2-3 minutes. the package itself even smells like it. so i will stick with non-oat added angel hair brand i liked better when in comes back in stock but, i do really like that these here look and act more like pasta so when they make/offer a thinner noodle (angel hair), i will definitely try those too for sure even though the perfumy scent does bothers me but, i think they would work out way better for stir-fry & pasta dishes than other versions.
