    * Good substitute for the starchy, high calorie rice. Use it as you would rice, including rice pudding.

    * I followed the instructions to a T. NO, NO NO. Unless you like the texture of eating rubber bands, don't order this.

    * One thing I noticed is the directions are not complete, it says to boil it in water but it does not tell you how much water or for how long, also says to dry it in a pan only it doesn't say how long it should take even an approx time would help. Texture of it once I got it dried was just OK to bad they couldn't add rice flavoring to it. Also for the size of package for 2 people you would almost need to get 2 packs but it was enough to try it. Once dried I added some salsa made it like a Spanish rice, does take flavorings well. I just think this product would be good if directions were clearer and they added some type of flavor to it.

    * I get this with the black soybeans and get my low-carb chicken, beans, and rice fix occasionally. Not bad if you spice it up a bit. I will definitely order some more.

    * This is an excellent pasta substitute. Rinse well and boil then place in soup or sauces. It is very good. I have read many complaints about the odor and the rice rinses off easily. It is great with chicken soup with meat and vegetables. It is filling and a wonderful pasta substitute.

    * Such a great alternative to high calorie rice and pasta but if you don't learn how to cook it properly you might be disappointed. The miracle noodle web site offers cooking suggestions and recipes.

    * I love all of these pastas! They are amazing and pick up the flavor of whatever dish you add them too. I always cook the ingredients before I add them, rinse them and add at the last few minutes of cooking. I use them in soups, stir frys, pasta dishes, etc. Try them!

    * I actually really liked this product. Follow the directions and you will not be disappointed. I make a butterfly shrimp dish and used this and was very satisfied with the result. I have also used the noodles in soups. I have yet to venture into other ways of preparing the noodles, but so far, it scratches the itch well enough.

    * I'm an insulin-dependent diabetic, and this zero-carb product is an essential in my pantry. Miracle Rice is wonderful in any kind of soup recipe to add body and bulk with a starchy "mouth feel" to it, like soft cooked barley ... and that's definitely something I've missed desperately over the years and can't get any other way without adding carbs. I personally prefer Miracle Rice to Miracle Noodles because I love the small, easy-to-eat shape, especially in a hot bowl of soup. Highly recommend! Just remember NEVER to smell the brine in the package. Just drain, rinse well and add the Miracle Rice to your favorite soup or sauce.

    * I am in love, the Miracle Rice is fantastic. The taste and texture was like Jerusalem couscous. So easy to use. Going to make stuffed peppers with the rice next.

    * The noodles smell a little fishy when you first open the bag. Don't fret, just soak them in new water, change it a couple of times and add it to your recipe while it's cooking. They won't break down or get soggy, but they will absorb the flavors of the other foods (broth, etc.) and be great. They add satisfaction and filling to any food that you would normally add a starch, and they are a total freebie, no guilt. Have fun with chicken soup, curries and stews. You'll be surprised how satisfying these little noodles and rice shapes can be!

    * A couple of cons: Smells very fishy when the package is opened, & the texture can be rubbery. But follow the directions and it tastes fine with marinara or low fat alfredo or even to stretch a soup recipe. To me zero calories makes it worth the taste compromise!

    * I love both the miracle rice and miracle noodles. I eat them to stay on track with the low carb diet. I make just about every dish I used to make with regular rice, now I just substitute miracle rice.

    * My family follows a Paleo diet, and as such does not eat grains. Some recipes taste better with a filler, and this works great for that purpose. The texture is OK, and as long as you rinse prodigiously there is no residual smell. What I really like is that is basically flavorless, so it readily absorbs the flavors of whatever you choose to put on top of it. This is not a stand alone rice substitute, and I think that any expectation of having the "taste of rice" without the associated health detriments are unrealistic. It is very effective at adding cheap bulk to a meal.

    * If you hesitate to try this because you are not happy with the noodles, don't worry. Although the rice has that same "fishy" smell when you rinse it, it is much better than the noodles.

    I rinse with cold water then put the "rice" in a bowl and pour boiling water over it, letting that sit while I prepare the rest of my ingredients...soup, vegetables, etc. When the rest is ready I just drain it and add it.

    A recipe: Thin-slice mushrooms and celery and saute with garlic and/or onion and no-salt seasoning. Drain and add the shirataki rice (reserving a little of the hot water)to the pan. I combine the hot water with a little mustard, tomato paste, apple cider vinegar and additional no-salt seasonings to make a sauce. Heat through. I never get tired of this combination; it is filling and has very few calories...a great no-guilt meal.

    * I love this stuff. I could never get past the texture of the noodles, but the texture of the rice is great. Not that it's the same texture as rice, it really isn't (because it's little round balls), but as others have said, it takes on the taste of whatever you mix it with and adds a lot of body to stir frys or casseroles.

    * Same concept as tofu shirataki, I find the "pearl" shape to be less chewy and more useful in various dishes. This product is really helpful in keeping me well-nourished whilst on the Weight Watchers program. Zero WW points for a whole bag! I really like this product, but I wouldn't necessarily serve it for a party :)

    * I had tried the Angel Hair and Fettecini pasta by Miracle Noodle and liked them...yes smell is funny, but if you follow their steps, that goes away. I like the Rice best of all. Served it to my husband last week as we are on lo carb lifestyle...and he said, I thought we weren't supposed to have rice! It took on the flavor of my stir fry and was very good. I will be ordering more today.

    * I was raised on rice so when I went low carb, I had to cut it out. I was so happy to find Miracle Rice. I enjoy it, but my husband finds the texture unbearable. For me it's a tasteless foundation for the creamy and meaty dishes I can eat that are low carb. My one complaint is that is smells funny - kind of fishy. But, once you rinse it, it's fine. I like it because it's no carb.

    * All in all, this is a great product. It has very little taste, taking on whatever topping you add. I have used in stir fry with veggies and chicken as well as with meat not in a chili mix. Yum! It is a little strange looking, but if you can get past that it is an excellent replacement.

    * I use this to "stretch" how much "rice" we can have in an individual serving for many rice dinners- like Chick and rice, rice pilaf etc. I rinse extremely well in a stainless wire-mesh strainer, then pan "dry" it for way longer than they recommend (until white, fluffy and separated)- which is about 8 minutes on high in a teflon skillet- mostly constantly stirring. Then I turn off, ad any seasonings and sometimes double it with real brown rice (cooked). Then it feels and tastes great with the recipe. Otherwise, I hate the smell and getting it dry is hard. I tried the dry in a tea towel first, and that worked, but wasted to much and was messy. If only they could send with out the liquid / smell, getting past that, this is a great product to eat a real full cup of rice, when otherwise you can only have a 1/4 cup = 1 serving starch. Wish they had the "orzo" shape, it mixed better with long grain rice. It has really helped us stay lo-carb and still have a filling meal! Love it!

    * Of all of the Miracle products, the rice is by far the best. It is completely tasteless and there is a process for using it. Rinse it well and don't be put off by the fishy odor. Place rinsed rice in a HOT pan sprayed with Pam. Cook on top the stove on high for about 10-15 minutes, stirring. You must do this part or it will release a watery puddle when you plate it. What is the use if it takes a bit to use?? It is calorie free and makes very good filler. I use the Low Carb Chili from this site on top a the fried rice and it is a 250 calorie (from the chili) lunch that is more filling than the 250 calorie 3 bite frozen meals. Can also put in chicken bullion for a zero calorie snack.
