anybody ever try this or use them? I bought a pack the other day. My review: they are kind of al dente and they have a somewhat weird texture. not bad though. It's a great alternative to pasta b/c they are only 40 calories per package.

Is this the Asian version of Ramen noodles? Saw some in Super One the other day for 11 cents a pack.

I bought them at Drug Emporium for $1.55 each. I rinsed them in a colander, drained them really well and microwaved for 1 minute. Then I dried off as much moisture as I could. I used them in a Thai curry dish. I think they could have used a bit of salt, but I didn't add any.

Yep, shocked me, too. Lots of health related food, but junk food as well. Not a complete grocery store, however.

I tried these on several occasions and while the texture was okay, I thought they had a fishy taste to them. Who wants their noodles tasting like fish.

I didn't think they were fishy tasting. maybe i boiled them too long though. i boiled them for about 5 mins as opposed to the 2-3 mins on the package?

If you rinse them, boil a few minutes, then dry off there is no fish taste. They smell terrible when you open them though.
