I've read complaints on the Internet nearly them smelling "fishy" in addition to having an strange texture.  Even the packet doesn't inspire a corking bargain of confidence, "Parboil for 2-3 min. to cut down the authentic aroma", lol.. what does that hateful exactly? Who's going to buy this except individual desperate for noodles spell on a low-carb diet?

I dear noodles in addition to consume a higher proportion than I should, thus I wanted to explore alternatives. I didn't mean value the Shirataki tasted bad at all, if anything I couldn't discern a flavor at all. I liked their texture which struck me every bit noodle-like. If this production wasn't thus darn pricey, I would belike purpose these alone except for those times I felt similar hauling out my pasta machine.
