Nasoya Shiritaki Spaghetti Noodles Review

Influenster was kind enough to send me some free Nasoya Shiritaki Spaghetti noodles to review.  Thanks Influenster!

The noodles are already soft in the package, so no need to boil water and wait for them to cook!


To prepare these noodles all you have to do is rinse them off (MAKE SURE YOU RINSE THEM OR THEY TASTE AND SMELL BAD!!).  After you rinse them thoroughly they are ready to eat, but I suggest heating them up. 

The package has the word "Spaghetti" on it and show a picture with a fork full of spaghetti, so I figured that the most logical way to review these noodle was by making Spaghetti out of them.  I plopped them in a pot with some Prego marina and got them warm on the stove.  Seriously the easiest spaghetti I've ever made. 


Next came the scary step.. trying it.  I was a little wary of this pasta imposter (lol), but it's free food.. who turns down free food?  Not this girl!  So I fed it to the kid. 


He loved it. 


So I fed it to the husband... and he said it was like eating worms.... and wouldn't let me take a picture of him.  He did swallow it though, so I figured I would try it. 


I actually ate this whole plate of food, but I was starving.  My husband was pretty accurate in his description of these noodles, they are squishy and slimy, kind of the consistency of a fruit snack.  I guess that's why my kid loved them.  They have a slight earthy taste, but I think that might be from not rinsing them thoroughly enough.  I think these noodles would be ok if you pan fried them in some sesame garlic sauce with stir fry vegetables.  If they had marketed it that way I would probably eat them again.  As spaghetti, however, these things are a slimy let down.  

One thing worth noting:  The package says these noodles keep you full longer than traditional pasta noodles and I found that to be true. I ate this pasta for lunch and I didn't end up wanting dinner that night because I was still full. So if you want to cook up some stir fry this might be a great diet food.  And it's 0 calories!
