Of course, the product is not a culinary delight, because it is odorless and tasteless. But that was foreseen and is also so advertised, so no reason for a bad review. After a brief rinse the smell was actually completely gone. I throw the noodles just briefly in the pan to whatever, like fresh pasta. The result is absolutely fine.
What you get then? Wonderful diet noodles cooked reasonably well what pounce.
