I agree the texture is way different, but i like these on occasion (i buy 2-3 bags about once a month, and usually them all within a week).

favorite ways:
with melted cheese sauce- like mac and cheese

with Asian peanut sauce and veggies- melt pb, soysauce, a little splenda or truvia, unsweetened rice vinegar, and crushed red pepper flaskes. stir well.

to make chicken noodle soup!

to make pasta salads

while i normally prefer suateed spinach or zuchinni "zoodles" as my "pasta base" for sauces/meats- i think the shirataki are a fun change once in a while.
