I was at the local Whole Paycheck this evening buying some grub when I came across Miracle Rice. It's rice that they've injected AIDS into or something and now it has zero calories.
It also has zero nutrition. Who the hell eats this crap? I want to beat the person who came up with this and I want to doubly beat anyone who eats it. Buy a $25 rice steamer. Buy whole brown rice for $2. Eat like a champ for 2 weeks off it. A small serving is plenty and will provide tons of nutrition without tons of calories. |

As a rule, I don't eat non-food. This will be no exception.
Still, I'm curious what it actually tastes like.

Most economical cookers (I have one, and yeah, they make bangin white rice) are going to leave you with really undercooked brown rice. Something like a Zojirushi with a GABA setting will soak the rice for 2 hours, then cook it for 1.5-2 hrs. It is awesome if you eat a ton of brown rice but super overkill if you usually eat white rice, or eat rice infrequently.

Glucomannan is also the main ingredient in shirataki noodles and konnyaku which are traditional Japanese foods. These products are made from the ground corm of the konjac plant. These natural products have been eaten in Japan for centuries. Because of the fiber content and health benefits, they are known as the "broom of the intestine" in Japan
poop thread.... I may actually try some of this for my ritual cleansing |

konnyaku is a traditional Japanese jelly-like health food made from a kind of potato called "Konnyaku potato" and calcium hydroxide or oxide calcium extracted from eggshells. Noodle type of Konnyaku is called Shirataki. Shirataki is sometimes called as "Miracle Noodle". The Konnyaku potato is native to Indonesia and is a kind of herbaceous perennial plant called "Amorphophallus Konjac"(K. Koch). Konnyaku potatoes are cultivated for food only in Japan, but wild forms grow naturally in Southeast Asia and China.

Half the Goddamned world is fucking starving or nutrient deficient, so obviously some genious in a lab hatched a variety of almost rice, that has zero nutritional value.
The next big craze-Zero nutrient vitamins and Dry water! Pre-buy yours now! I love it. Somewhere in Los Angeles is an emaciated blonde model puking her guts out after eating a riceball, and she's thinking...hmmmm now I can eat twice as much.

Then when your frustrated monkey ass arrives at the neutral taste line, then you may begin crafting some semblance of flavor without screwing up the precariously balanced no-taste / taste blend.  |

My GF was into Shirataki nooder for a while. Meh. They're not toxic. Whatever. She's not eating them now, they fell out of her rotation, so the weren't all "MOAR".
Anyway, it's not the rice so much, it's what you put on it. Kinda like Homer Simpson and his 10 calorie rice cakes. :-) FOR BROWN RICE COOKING 1. I do NOT use my very fancy Sanyo 4-cup fuzzy rogic rice cooker(pic, not mine) for brown rice. I only use it for white rices. It takes toooooo long for brown rice. 2. I use an electric pressure cooker for brown rice and other whole grains. MUCH FASTER. I use it more than any other electric gizmo in the kitchen. If you're Korea-aware, I cook a lot of ogokbap (my kitchen*) that i add other grains to. I eat horse chow i guess. *my colon is, indeed, healthy.

I could not find the Miracle rice or noodles but I did find other Shirataki noodles (made from the same yam fiber stuff). The tofu ones do have a bit of tofu so there are 40 calories in the whole package. The ones in the right-hand picture have some added seaweed flakes in the noodles. $1.89 per bag.
When you open the package they do indeed smell like fish. I rinsed them in a colander under hot tap water for a few minutes and the smell was mostly gone. Trying them at this stage, plain, they didn't have a fishy flavor and didn't taste like anything really. Their texture is interesting. Not gummy as I expected but more like very soft rubber. That may not sound appealing but it isn't bad at all. I made a stir fry of sorts with the noodles, chicken, bean sprouts, water chestnuts, red pepper, broccoli, green onions and cilantro. Added some soy, vinegar, sesame oil, cock sauce and lime juice. It was very good and the noodles just became part of the dish. Assuming there are no digestive issues I'll try these again as a low calorie addition to my Asian dishes.   |

For 75 cents, I have three days worth of rice. |
