They're not bad at all! So long as you expect the texture of a Japanese soup noodle and not a wheat noodle, you'll be fine.

I did stir fried beef with Indonesian soy sauce, beansprouts and noodles. Very tasty and VERY filling. It just doesn't LOOK all that good as the noodles take on the colour of the beef and soy. I will be using them again though. My mind is full of ideas at the moment. Using them as the filling in sushi instead of the rice, using in place of the rice in stuffed vine leaves...etc etc etc

They are certainly a great addition to the LC diet. I wish I could buy them in a local shop though, instead of paying through the nose for mail order. They made a curious odour in the fridge - husband claimed something had gone mouldy in there! I also found the fishy smell of the fluid they are packed in a bit off-putting, but that dissapears when they are cooked.

Rinse them well under the hot tap and no smell! I didn't notice any odour at all in the fridge though.
