They're expecting pasta texture and get something much chewier and stretchier. Personally I like it, but given that it's usually packaged and marketed as "fettucine", "spaghetti", et al, people being surprised at the difference isn't surprising.
They have a rubbery texture which many people don't like, because it is so different from regular noodles, and they also come in water that smells of fish and many find the fish smell suspicious (although it goes away after rinsing).
I think it's the type of food that you either love or hate with almost no in between. Usually because of texture (i never had smelly konjac noodles so i can't comment on that). Personally, i love them and wish i could buy them more often but they are a bit pricey for me
I dislike it because it tastes like nothing but has a rubbery texture. Unfortunately sauces don’t help it. They just slip off. Was a waste of money to me
It’s not popular in the west or in your circle. Konjac noodles are just like tofu where they get a bad rap from people (mostly westerners) who don’t know how to cook them
1000lb sisters used to be my comfort “diet” show lol so good
600lb life and Supersize vs Superskinny for me, in the past
Check out amberlyn Reid on YouTube, the definition of a fat slob she will make you lose ur appetite immediately

They can also cause digestive system discomfort if you eat a lot of them

I found rinsing and dry frying killed the fish smell.
yes! i recently tried dry frying them for like 10 mins and it completely changed the texture.

To get sauces to stick, wash them really good, dry them and fry them in a pan with a corn starch slurry and then add your sauce, it really helps
they’re so good!! they just taste like whatever you put on them :)
It tastes like its calories. It is NOT your usual noodle texture. It’s rubbery, just plain disgusting. There’s a reason why it’s not popular.

What’s the sauce tho 👀
I initially thought it was chili crunch and soy sauce, but it looks more like sesame seeds up close. 🤔
Hopefully OP will drop the sauce recipe! I love konjac noodles and I enjoy trying them in new ways.
I cannot digest these things without much pain & suffering 😩
Sometimes eating and watching 600lb life just fucking hits you know
I mean they’re never going to beat the real thing but I like them. Worth a try if you haven’t x
What’s the sauce?
