Not a fan. I rinsed them, cooked them and really tried hard to like them. They are crazy long, so you need to cut them up. The smell so bad as you cook them. I made some killer fettuccini sauce and added these to it. I tried so hard to eat these, but they are slimy and would not blend with my sauce. I figured they needed "time", so after a few hours, I attempted to eat it again...nope. I put it in the fridge for a day and nope again. Looks like a canned food drive is getting the other bags I bought.

It took me a while to finally prepare the noodles, because everyone commented on the fishy smell and I'm not a "fish person," but it is mild..not as strong as cat food. Rinsed and cooked there is no hint of fish. The texture is more chewy than pasta. I have veneers on my front teeth due to bike accident and i could not bite through it with front teeth. So if you are trying to cut carbs, I think you can use this in a lot of ways. If you are a pasta lover, you might be disappointed. Haven't tried the rice yet, but I'm thinking it will be closer to rice than the noodles are to pasta. It is very filling. I now return having tried the angel hair noodles. I drained them, boiled 2 minutes, then simmered with sauted veggies and pasta sauce for 5 minutes. They were very much like rice noodles and were really tender and tasty. If I did a blind taste test, I would not be able to tell they were an alternative noodle. Will definitely use again. Trying the rice will be next.

As a South Indian , rice is the one thing that makes me happier than anything in the world and being on keto doesn't really work with rice! This is my go to when I want to make some indian rice or eat with curry. For all of you complaining about the smell, I hate that too. But here is a little trick I use. Rinse it under running hot water first in a strainer and then heat a teaspoon of Ghee (clarified butter) and fry the contents for a fre minutes until the the water is all gone! Ghee adds flavour and camouflages any leftover smell. Hope this helps!

I did not have high hopes. I'm sure many of you will do the same thing I did.... look at the item, read the reviews and either put them on your wish list to think about later or just think... are they worth the money to find out if they are as bad-or good-as the reviews say? I was still contemplating this question when my husband snuck into my account and bought them. Surprise! They arrived today--so of course I had to try them today!

They stink... oh man do they stink. Something died kind of stink. I rinsed them... they stank less. I boiled them... the didn't stink at all.... I put them in a teflon pan (no oil per directions) and dried them out. Still no stink. Ok.... I tasted a piece. They taste like... NOTHING. Seriously... there is no taste. They have an odd texture... kind of rubbery, but not real rubbery. But there is no taste. What to do now? So I was fixing pan fried pork chops in butter for dinner... we have a pan with all those good scrapings, butter and grease.... and yes, we dumped these noodles in and sort of flash fried them in all that yummy goodness. And they tasted... just like what we fried them in. Pretty darn good.

Do they taste like real noodles. No they don't. From what we tried tonight, they do taste like whatever your cook them in. I'll have to try boiling them in stock next time. Do they have the same texture? Nope, they have a very distinctive texture and I have no idea how to really describe it. But you know what, when you aren't eating real noodles--for whatever reason--these fill that craving. They aren't the same, but they are close enough.

I didn't expect to like these, I really didn't, but I really do. Try them.... don't let the negative reviews scare you off... they really are good!

I ordered the 6-pack of Miracle Rice, without ever trying them anywhere first. When I opened the box, I noticed only one package looked like it had any "rice" in it, the other 5 looked like mostly water, with a very small amount of product. I cooked the full-looking one first, thinking maybe the others would be the same once opened, but it was not to be the case - the difference in amount of finished rice was radically different! I only know this because eventually tried another package, and it was nothing like the fuller looking package....only about a half-cup of finished "rice"!

As for smell/flavor, when I first opened it, it smelled really fishy. After boiling for 2 minutes, the smell went away, but the texture was really odd - like tiny gelatinous blobs, with no real flavor to speak of.

I definitely can't recommend these, and wouldn't order again.
