I eat miracle noodles all the time. Just a warning, I used to HATE them but for some reason I like them now. They are definitely a love it or despise it item. I think it's the nutritional yeast I put on them, which makes them just gummy enough to taste good. tongue.png Plus, some people stir fry them to change the texture a bit. Just a warning, they smell fishy when you open the bag and have a weird texture. I mix them 50/50 with regular pasta and/or veggies and they are great for 'bulk'. 

I don't like the ones with tofu for some reason, but others like those and not the clear ones. Don't buy a case until you try them!

I have some Miracle Noodles and I cooked them but I didn't like them. sickbyc.gif But in all fairness, I didn't mix it with anything. I wanted to see how they taste before I messed up a meal by adding them. I guess I should add them to whatever I'm cooking to get the full taste. hmm.png

Are these rice based noodles?  I have not heard of either of them before. 

 

I like to use rice noodles and seasoned cooked padthai w/veggies (even warmed leftover veggies).  I just put the rice vermaclli into warm water (like you would rice paper), then put seasami oil or walnut oil in skillet or wok, and when its hot, I toss in the noodles (having soaked them 2-5 minutes first) and tofu (or nuts/peanuts) and veggies (pre cooked is best for this quick dish), and when its all warm (1 minutes), I eat!  Fast, easy, vegan.

 

Why don't sheep shrink in the rain?

 

 

Why is there brail at drive up ATMs??

 

 

Why are their floatation devices instead of parachutes in my airplain seat???

 

 

If a tree falls in the woods and my husband doesn't hear it, am I still wrong????

I saw tons of noodles at the Asian Market but I was overwhelmed. I didn't know what was good and what to buy, so I didn't buy anything until I can research and hear reviews. idunno.gif

It's weird how I used to hate them and now I like them. I think it's because I mix them with other things to 'bulk' up. But they are definitely an acquired taste. If you put nutritional yeast on them they gum up a bit and taste better (to me).

Ok. I will do as you say and see what happens. I think if I would have mixed them with something else, it would have tasted better. Silly me, tried them alone. smack.gif

Why don't sheep shrink in the rain?

 

 

Why is there brail at drive up ATMs??

 

 

Why are their floatation devices instead of parachutes in my airplain seat???
