Product Review: Sea Tangle Noodles

I would like to talk about Uwajimaya again, and how much I love it.

I love it THIS much:

A few months ago, I bought this stuff called "sea tangle" because it sounded fucking gross. Again, remember my morbid food curiosity.

It was like $2.39 for a bag, so I wasn't going to lose out on much if it turned out to be revolting.

I should post a picture (I probably will later) of what it looks like in a dish, but really it looks just like glass noodles. The texture is a little spongier and stiffer. I guess because it IS a type of seaweed (I assume).

The nice part about these is that they have a cool presentation (transparent noodles look extra-fancy!) and there are very few calories in a bag of these. And you can make a LOT of noodles with one little bag.

The bag said they were ready to eat, but I found that if I boil them beforehand, they are less stiff and therefore more noodle-y. :) I actually end up using these on a regular basis because of the fact that they are SO low calorie and they're pretty damn cheap.

I say: try it. It's not that much more amazing than any other noodles, but it does look cool and is a great conversation starter when you hand someone a dish made with noodles from the sea!
