I love it
This is my second attempt on conjak noodles. I hesitated first because the ones I bought in the past has a very fishy smell. I don't know why since nothing is related to fish at all. Conjak is a root of a plant so this is definitely great for Vegans. Skinny pasta has NO ODOR whatsoever and its a great substitute for noodles or pasta. The consistency and looks resemble the Chinese cellophane noodles except a lot healthier. For example, Chinese Cellophane noodles per cup is about 400 calories and packed a whooping 120 grams of carbs!! That is almost 50% of your RDA for carbs. Skinny noodles on the other hand is only 20 calories if you use the entire 200g package and 10g of carbs. No fat and good in fiber. As with anything else, what you add to it can make it less healthy (like tons of tomato sauce, parmesan chese, etc.). My recipe is the minimalist version; I chopped up some bok choy, a couple cloves of garlic, some shiitake mushroom, a little sriracha sauce and salt and pepper. Stir fry it in a little olive oil and I got a great filling meal for about 250 calories. Bottom line, I love it.
