I was on my usual trip to my fave natural food store to buy fruits and veggies and while walking around the store, I noticed some Miracle Noodles in the refrigerated section. Having heard so much about these "Guilt Free, Zero Calorie, Soy Free, Gluten Free, Cholesterol Free Noodles", I got curious and decided to buy some. At $2.39 per 7-oz. pack (which is the same price I pay for a 16-oz egg or rice noodles at the Asian Store), I honestly thought they're expensive but nevertheless I bought 1 pack each of the two available varieties, the Angel Hair Pasta, and Fettuccini Pasta. There was also Miracle Rice so I got 1 pack of that too.
Yesterday, I tried them with the hubs and my daughters. I followed the cooking instructions in the label which is actually very simple. You just drain the water out of the package and rinse the noodles in a strainer for 30 seconds (for the rice it's 10-15 seconds). After that, you have to boil the noodles in a lightly salted water for 2-4 minutes (for the rice, blanch in boiling water for 1 minute) then you add any sauce you prefer or mix it with your favorite dish. In our case, we used sauteed shrimps & veggies as the accompanying dish for the Miracle Noodles and for the Miracle Rice as well. I simply sauteed minced garlic and onions with some shrimps, carrots, green beans and green onions in sesame oil, and then seasoned the mixture with salt, pepper and low sodium soy sauce. This simple concoction made the Miracle Noodles and Miracle Rice tasty enough to eat. So did we like it? Well, here's what I have to say about our experience with these "Miracle" products:
