mannanhikari Diet Dry Shirataki Rice, 75 gram (7 Pieces)

Super yummy rice especially when mixed with jasmine rice. I love to do 1 cup jasmine rice with 1 package of this with 3 cups water in the rice cooker. So delicious. Especially when you add mixed grain rice for extra nutrition which gives so much flavor to the mix. This rice takes the guilt out of eating rice for me and the texture and taste is identical to any other rice you're eating. If you want it more firm then add less water but the flavor is super delicious.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Texture is horrible, taste is bad in my opinion

I love rice and have it daily as part of a balanced diet. Unfortunately as I've gotten older I haven't been able to enjoy carbs as freely as I once did. I've tried substitutions like cauliflower rice, quinoa and the other Konjac rice products (the ones packed in liquid). None of them have been very satisfying in terms of taste and texture which is a big factor for me. Cauliflower rice gives everything a cauliflower like taste no matter what you pair it with and the wet Konjac rice has a weird slippery texture and takes awhile to dry pan frying it for regular use (sometimes gives off an odd smell too). I guess it really boils down to texture, if I'm going to eat rice I'd prefer a close rice like mouth feel as possible.With this dry Mannanhikari rice it was a total game changer- I can still eat rice but not all the calories! At first I was skeptical, I was worried the rice wouldn't 'cook' like regular rice. I was pleasantly surprised when I tried it, it didn't have any weird taste or texture. In fact, it was so well incorporated into the regular rice I had a hard time telling the grains apart. I even served it to my picky husband, didn't tell him it had diet rice in it and he couldn't even tell the difference either!All the instructions are in Japanese but I was able to find a source online that translated it. I rinsed one cup of Jasmine rice and then added one packet of Mannanhikari rice unrinsed and added 1.5 cups of water. It came out perfectly!The serving size after cooking was a little over 4 cups of cooked rice.I served it with a Japanese curry and it was amazing!I wish it wasn't so expensive, but at least I know I have better options now.

No English instruction..

Good nutrients, easy cook, good taste

I like the texture of this rice. Looks like regular Japanese rice. My only concerns are:1. The package is in Japanese language. No English translation so you just rely on the pictures.2. Is this really low carb?UPDATE: I looked it up and found out that it has 44.4 g of carbs. That’s a lot of carbs and i an on low carb diet. I can’t eat this anymore!

the best dry shiratake rice I ever ordered. I am regularly ordering for my consumption.

couldnt read the instructions on how to cook it bcz there’s no english tramslation or direction
