6 Kinds of Mushrooms

After ordering these, I was shocked that I had paid so much for so few servings (about $2.33 per bowl). Once I got these, again, I had to shake my head at my own indulgence. Then I tasted them! OH... MY... GOSH!!!! These were, without a doubt, the BEST oriental noodles I've ever tasted. To say that they didn't skimp on the mushrooms is an understatement! There were mushrooms in every bite. And not just little bits of mushrooms. They were whole, and the texture and taste was wonderful. Another wonderful surprise was that the noodles never got mushy or stuck together -- even when I forgot I had them soaking, and left them for more than 20 minutes. Another nice surprise was learning that these wonderful noodles have four grams of fiber in each bowl. Even though these are very filling (probably because of the fiber), they only contain 190 calories, and 1 gram of fat. One bowl is perfect for any entire meal. And the flavor is perfect... not too spicy, not too bland, but just right. Added to all the above is that they're incredibly easy to prepare. Open the flavor/mushroom/egg pack, put it atop noodles, pour boiling water over everything, replace cover and wait three minutes. There are two things I do different when preparing these (but just because of my preferences, not because the instructions are faulty -- they're not). I add less water than the instructions suggest -- I prefer these more noodle-y and less soup-ey, and 1-1/2 cups of boiling water is the perfect amount for my preference. I also let it set for five minutes, giving the noodles a chance to soak up more of the water. Are these mushrooms pricey? Yes, they are. Are they overpriced? Not at all! I will definitely buy these tasty and nutritious noodles again!

I am a HUGE noodle fan. Noodles are not always the best option when you are trying to watch your waistline. I am also trying to increase mushroom intake in my diet. Enter this great option with 125 calories with a very good mushroom variety. Easy to make and tasty. A little heavy on the pepper, but I like pepper and you can cut that down quite a bit by not finishing the broth which will also reduce sodium intake. I like to add water, microwave it, and then allow the noodles to sit in the microwave so the glass noodles can plump up and absorb the broth flavor. Then I often add a little more warm water to add some more liquid back to it. Filling with a good texture. I like this a lot! PAITAN Flavor: ZERO or NEGATIVE Stars. I have never had Paitan before so I have nothing to compare this Paitan before, but HOLY HECK. BUYER BEWARE! This Paitan eats GREASY. One bite and it was a greasy mouthful. So gross that I spit it out, the rest went in the trash, and the five unopened untouched Paitan bowls were returned for refund. It was so bad that I may never try Paitan ever again. HARD pass.

I first had these kinds of noodles in Guam and Okinawa. I loved them but I could not find them locally for years. I had them with strips of lean meat and chicken back then. I think i have had them with Sukiyaki too. So different than other noodles. I They are clear but absorb flavors and colors of whatever is mixed with them. I ordered the 6 mushroom kind. There were plenty of mushrooms. If you love mushrooms, you will probably love these too. I don't know, I found them needing meat or chicken I guess, so am going to order the other flavors to try or maybe add my own to these. There are a lot of noodles here and the flavor is wonderful. It is an excellent quality product, in my opinion. My son likes them as well. He lets all his noodles set for an hour to fully absorb flavors and become more pliable. These noodles are particularly firm. He loves noodles and since we have discovered the better ones on Amazon, he will not eat the cheaper ones anymore that he use to love. They are different than egg or other types of noodles but seem to soak up the flavors better. Very filling. I think they would also make a great side dish with other foods. Probably worth the additional cost. I am going to order the other flavors of crystal noodles to try.

The bowl of noodles is specified as 2 servings, each with 500 grams of sodium. Of course each diner typically eats a whole bowl. Well, it did not taste salty, or mushroomy, but the dominant black pepper flavor was progressively stronger. Adding boiling water up to the bowl guide line produces a moderately thick noodle mass without enough broth to qualify as soup. I've had two trials: (1) The solids cake atop the dry cellophane noodles begins to dissolve when the hot water is poured on it, the plastic lid is replaced and the noodles steep for 3 minutes or longer. Then stir well before eating. See the reconstituted mushroom pieces, the yellow egg fragments. Roll up a mouthful of slippery noodles on your fork, lean over the bowl as you incise off their dangling ends.Taste nothing but black pepper, hardly intriguing, eh. (2) For the next trial, before adding the boiling water I crumbled some dried raw crunchy kale, dusted with natural flavor ingredients, atop the noodles and added a dash of soy sauce. The result was tasty noodles with an appealing green vegetable. (I've ordered an herbal salt substitute that I'm confident will add zing to my next bowl.)

I got hooked on these after trying one from Daiso. Well they don't always have them so I'm happy I can get a six pack. I do pick out a lot of the of the green onions because I don't like them but otherwise amazing delicious noodles. Also good broth and I drink that as well.

I bought this aFter reading the reviews and I assume I received a dud. It was the worst soup I have ever eaten.. There were a few tiny chips which I assume were mushrooms and the noodles were a slimy mushy mess. It ended up going down the drain and since it is in refundable I am now stuck with 5 more to dispose of.

Tasty mushroom noodle soup with glass noodles.

If you are an indiscriminate eater of non magic mushrooms and haven't met a glass noodle that you wouldn't eat then the Crystal Noodle 6 Kinds of Mushrooms is made for you. I love mushrooms, I love the broth and the glass noodles don't disappoint. The Amazon price is only pennies cheaper per container than my local Asian market but the problem is good luck catching them in stock either place. I have purchased the 6-pack 14 times and have always received a 6-pack. Because I loved this flavor so much I also tried other flavors and was disappointed. The broth for the Spicy Sesame and Spicy Tofu just tastes like spicy peppers with no real flavor. The Vegetable flavor broth is bland. Paitan is bland with hints of garlic. You're Welcome.
