Q&A:
1. Why Shirataki products smell fishy and how to remove it?
While shirataki noodles have no taste at all, they smell fishy when you open their packages.

To remove the smell, simply add a tablespoon of lemon juice, rest for a few moments, then rinse the noodle under running cold water for a few minutes.
2. How to make it taste more like regular noodles?
Shirataki noodles have a bouncy and chewy consistency, it normally does not require pre-cooking if you like their texture as it is. If you want them softer and taste like regular noodles, you can pre-cook them in salty water for 10 minutes, then combine them with the sauce.
