We ordered the angel hair noodles. Each portion comes in a little baggie of water. But beware, these noodles smell very fishy. So the first thing to do is rinse them for a couple of minutes in running cold water. Then dry them on paper towels for 2 minutes or so and you are good to go! (yap, these noodles do not need any cooking).
The million dollar question. How does this stuff taste? Ok. If you are thinking pasta, rice, noodles, forget about it. It tastes like "nothing", but at the same time adapts the flavor of your dish. The first couple of times, it might taste "plasticy", but your taste buds quickly catch up. A word of caution--make small portions. This stuff is very filling.
Today lunch was Spicy (Miracle) Noodles in Pesto and Vegetables
Ingredients
1. one small onion, cubed
2. one small red pepper, cubed
3. four garlic cloves, finely chopped
4. one teaspoon chilli powder
5. salt to taste
6. one baggie angel hair Miracle Noodles, rinsed and dried
7. one tablespoon olive oil
8. one tablespoon pesto
1. Heat oil in a pan and under medium flame, saute garlic and union until light brown. Add red pepper and cook for a couple of minutes.
2. Add chilli powder, salt and pesto. Stir well.
3. Add noodles. Stir well. If the noodles seem wet, thats fine. The heat will dry them up quickly.
Thats it! This might be the quickest meal you ever made! For extra flavor, I added our must-have condiment at home -- Maggi Ketchup. Available in almost all Indian grocery stores. Here is our favorite flavor.

oh wow, I've never heard of that before! I'm very intrigued. Sounds like they are pretty healthy for you, though. Very cool!

interesting !!
it sounds like a japanese noodle we have it here. like jelly and with a foul smell once open(at that moment only), but tastes very yummy.
I have Maggi brand chilli sauce in my kitchen.. the packing look different.....cute !
Thanks for stopping in to say Hi! I just discovered your blog today through Leslie's blog and thought it was great. I will be back to visit often! Twyla
Hmmm... carb-free noodles? I had to go and order some for my mom :) We'll see how they go over!
I am -for some reason- salivating!!!!
It looks yummy. I love miracles! =)
The sauce looks interesting too. Think hubby would love it!
I have never heard of such noodles! Something new to keep an eye out for. But what really amazes me is that Maggi comes in chili sauce!! Growing up our Dutch neighbours introduced us to the Maggi that is more like a soy sauce and it is now a staple in my home (cant make soup without it). I really have to find some of the other!
Wow - I will have to give these a try. We do a lot of stir fry and I'd love to see how these would work.
Your dish looks yummy :)
Hello! Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving such a nice comment. Yum, I love vegetables and pesto...thanks for sharing the recipe and the source for the noodles.
I love those noodles too! They truly are a miracle :)
Dear Rima. i am so glad to find you on the web!
i am Iranian and married to a lovely Indian man and so have recently moved to Bangalore. i am just learning the whereabouts in Bangalore and unfortunately am not very good at it.
i like to try some craft works using polymer clay mostly known as Fimo or Sculpey.
do you have any idea where i can get it?
many thanks.
Hi Somayeh --
Since you did not leave contact information, I am leaving answering your question here. I do not live in Bangalore anymore (I am in NYC, USA). I am not sure where you will be able to find those materials. Try Surya Emporium or Ravi Craft shop in Commercial street. If they dont have your materials, they might know where to find them. Best of luck!
Rima
thanks a lot!
it seems you find wonders in this tight and narrow street!
will give it a try.
This looks so good. And I am so hungry...
Hmmm....its amazing how food evolves :)
Yea! Slumdog Millionaire won best picture and deserved it! Also... I am so excited.. I am going to crochet your baby jacket starting tomorrow... will go out and purchase some wonderful soft yarn for a baby boy great nephew who is due to announce his arrival in three months! Thanks so much for this jacket and when its finished I'll post a photo of it!
When I began reading your post my first thought was "plasticky" but since you said that it actually doesn't taste like that at all, I think we should try it for one of our Saturday night dinners.
Wow, they look like glass noodles that you find in the Asian markets. Our local Indian foods market closed, much to our regret. I shopped there a lot.
I use to eat that a lot when I was WW. It's 0 pts for the whole package. I ate the brand called Shirataki and they come in different pasta forms like, Linguine, ramen...etc. I like it, but it's an acquired taste. In my culture, we eat a lot of noodles made out of other things.
These noodles sound kinda cool! I'm gonna have to try to see if I can find any...
