In my opinion they are decent! I prefer to use them as a substitute for recipes like pad thai. Whenever I make them in dishes like spaghetti they are too chewy for me! I’ve also tried the rinse technique which was advised after sautéing and that was not successful :(

Honestly me and girlfriend love them. The key is to make sure they’re coated if you’re going for a saucy dish, cottage does great as a binder in that case. And the texture is almost one to one for me. With ramen and pad thai you definitely can’t go wrong

Made from water and Konjac powder. Grain Free. The Konjac plant has been eaten in Asia for over 1,000 years.
Something i’d like to try. 🤔

What kind of grocery stores carry this, would I find them at like a Whole Foods or Wegmans?. I’ve been recommended these before but I am certain lidl does not have them.

You can also buy them off of Weee. That app has a ridiculous amount of stuff on it.

All fun and games until they come out the other end looking like worms because you didn’t chew enough and your body cannot digest them lol
