I recently ordered these, and for the price, I'm certainly glad I didn't regret it!
-The delivery time was fast, incredibly so. I think I ordered these last Sunday, and received them yesterday. Like they said, the package faintly smells of fish. But, it doesn't linger. Besides, nothing wrong with fish. It is healthier ;P (note, this product did not come with fish...)
The boxes (I ordered this and a variety pack) came encased in larger box that had large air bubble security wrap (not bubble wrap). Neatly assorted as well.
You can immediately tell these people don't just take your money and that's all she wrote. They actually ensure that it was worth your buy.
- The preparation:
If you are unfamiliar with angel hair noodles, then you might be a it intimidated when you empty the contents into a strainer. It looks gucky and messy, perhaps not appetizing or edible.
But no worries! The preparation is rather simple, and if you read the back of each pack, you'll realize what I'm talking about. (I explain the process at the end of this post).
- The taste:
Like any noodle on its own, the taste isn't pleasant unless you add some taste. The extra condiments I use range from 0-2 calories. So all the while, a large serving of this rounds up to about 6-10 calories.
So be creative! But don't take advantage of it being low calorie, or you'll end up eating an unhealthy worth. It's like ordering a side of diet coke with that large movie theater popcorn. Don't go delusional!
Overall, I haven't had pasta or noodles in years because of my obsession with calorie counting and eating healthy. These hit the spot! I get full, don't feel hungry later, and if you do it right, they taste just like the real thing!
So yes! I'm definitely ordering more! Thank you Miracle Noodle!
This is how I boil/cook it (for those unfamiliar with any form of thin asian noodle or angel hair):
First pre-heat the stove top you'll be using with med-high.
Fill up a pot with water to the amount of noodles you'll be boiling (be it one, two or three packs - 4oz's, 6oz's, 8oz's) with some salt (optional) and let it sit until water is boiling. Lower temp to medium.
Simply empty packet[s] into a strainer, and let it drain. Don't forget to wash your hands and aid the straining process by stirring the noodles a bit.
Then just plop them into the pot, let them sit for around 2-4 minutes (or more, depending on how much you're cooking).
Stir them around a bit.
Turn off stove top, let the noodles absorb the water a bit, but don't allow them to be over-heated/cooked because you'll be applying more heat later.
Empty the pot into the strainer again, to get rid of the water.
Using a pan, or skillet pan, what have you.preferably non-stick, place it on the same stove top you used earlier on medium heat. then place the noodles onto the pan, and toss around a bit, till the moisture KIND OF goes away. You'll hear it sizzling.
But don't overdue it! Or the noodles will harden, and the taste won't be as nice.
Once they look less wet and pale white (note, they won't look dark or anything either. Just less 'unprepared') empty pan contents onto a plate.
Using a fork and a knife, start pulling apart noodles from the bulk onto other side, cutting the noodles. Not mince, just cut. That way, the noodles won't be super long, and easier to eat.
Then, wisely, mix it up. Remember, just cause it's zero calorie, doesn't mean it does you justice to suddenly make it into a 500 calorie meal.
