Miracle Noodle Shirataki Rice, 8oz (Pack of 6)

I found these to be great if you know how to prepare them. First get a strainer and wash them with cold water, let the cold water run and run until must of the smell is gone. I prepare a Puerto Rican "arroz con pollo" (rice with chicken) dish using these and it comes out very good almost as good as the real thing ;) Here is the recipe, 2 bags Miracle rice(1 bag per person) 1 pack, chicken thighs,4-6 pieces(no skin no bones)(Chicken breast drys out) 1/2 cup cut onions Oregano powder 1/4 tsp Lemon pepper or regular pepper (about 1/4 tsp) 1-2 chopped garlic or 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder olive oil (1 tablespoon)(optional) Red wine vinegar (or any other kind) 1 teaspoon For color;use one envelope of Cilantro-Achiote Sazon, Goya Sazon Cilantro-Achiote Seasoning or 1/2 cup tomato sauce. *3/4 to 1 cup water (or use 6oz of beer and 2oz water) If available use 1 tablespoon of adobo(replaces the pepper and garlic powder)for more authentic flavor. Goya Adobo All Purpose Seasoning, 8 Ounces you can buy it cheaper at many store that sells Latin products. Wash well and cut the chicken in small pieces, season with the vinegar, adobo or garlic powder, pepper and oregano powder, set aside. Add the Olive oil garlic and the onions to the pot at medium heat, after a minute, add the chicken and cover in medium heat. Cook in medium for about 8-10 mins, add *water (or beer)and cook uncover and let it boil for about 3-5 mins. Meanwhile wash the miracle rice in a strainer under cold water, drain it. Add the Miracle rice to the chicken and the seasoning packages, mix it well and let it cook uncovered for about 15-20 minutes or until water is evaporated. (sometimes I drain some of the water since I put extra when cooking the chicken) For more flavor, add a little envelope or cube of Ham flavoring Goya Concentrated Ham Flavoring, 8-Count Packages (Pack of 36) or chicken Goya Cubito En Polvo Pollo/Tomate, 2.15-Ounce Units (Pack of 24) Try it, it taste great! You can also follow the recipe and use pork, or canned garbanzo beans, pigeon peas or beans, instead of chicken.

I would not recommend eating this alone. But be creative. To me it tasted like rice. Here's what I did. I am on the HCG diet and the way I prepare it did not interfere with my weight loss. But see for yourself. Everyone's body is different. But it should work like a charm on any other weight loss program. I made miracle rice in a way that it really tastes good once you put out of your mind how it is packaged and smells before rinsing. I rinsed two packages and put it in a container with one can of 99% fat free chicken broth (that's what I had). Then I sauteed and lightly seasoned onions (in PAM and later added water to make tender since I was not using oil) and put it in the broth-"rice" mixture. Seasoned the mixture just a little with a non salt seasoning. I am really enjoying it. It isn't salty and tastes just like chicken soup with rice. It would be funny if someone else thought of this already. It's so simple I am sure someone did. But my hunger and curiosity kind of brought out some culinary creativity. I think half of this is was only 10-15 calories with the broth and the onions.

The “rice” was super mushy. It didn’t look like rice at all. It looked like oatmeal instead. Drained it, cooked it in in a pan with no oil and it was still gross.

Simply awesome! I am type 2 diabetic And since carbs are limited I find those noodles amazing because it doesn’t spike my blood sugar at all !

I am beyond thankful for these! You have to take the product for what it is and be realistic about your expectations. Is it going to taste amazing, have a glutenous, heavy texture that causes you to gorge on it like pasta, AND be affordable? No. These are created to help you lose the extra pounds, fill up, feel satiated (not gluttonous) AND give you extra bulk and fiber for proper bowel movements. If you can wrap your head around the fact that there is no possible way to make a 0 calorie food taste delicious and something you will crave, you will be thankful for the creation of these. I use these how I use lettuce, carrots, and other low calorie, healthy foods: make a meal and have IT make up the focus and bulk of the meal (instead of processed bread, pasta, or any other "white" product). Put your food on top. I agree with other reviews: if drained, flavored, and cooked right, these can take on wonderful flavors! They also help add fiber, FOS for bacteria in your gut to feed upon, and create more bowel movement because of these 2 things. One last thing, I am really stoked about the "rice", as it wasn't created at the time I started with the noodles, years ago. It reminds me of getting to eat couscous at a meal, but without the calories. Be thankful for what it is! There are many things we have to sacrifice in life if we want results, in every area of our life!
