Dried konjac noodles 500g

Shirataki noodles, which means "white waterfall," are also known as konjac noodles. This not only sounds quite magical, but it is: our shirataki noodles make fat-free pasta enjoyment possible. The noodles made from konjac flour harmonise wonderfully with Asian vegetable woks, but also with Italian tomato sauce with basil. No wonder shirataki noodles are sold in the USA under the name Miracle Noodles.

Filling pasta

This much up front: konjac has nothing to do with the French brandy cognac. Konjac is the tuber of an Asian lily plant called devil's tongue, from which the flour for our konjac noodles is extracted. Inside the konjac root is glucomannan, an extremely swellable dietary fibre.  Comparing the same amounts of prepared shirataki noodles and durum wheat noodles, shirataki noodles have significantly fewer calories and carbohydrates.

Easy to prepare

It all sounds so good, there must be a catch somewhere. Wrong! Even the preparation of shirataki noodles is very easy: you only have to boil the selected amount of noodles in water for five minutes and then rinse them with cold water for five seconds. If you now drain the cooked noodles briefly, the long white spaghetti are already ready. And ready to soak up the flavour of your sauce perfectly.

The cooked shirataki noodles taste great with vegetable pans, in Asian summer rolls or as an addition to soups. Shirataki are also the perfect match when sautéed with soy sauce and tahini or with braised tofu. If you are more of an Italian pasta lover, you can simply stir the shirataki noodles into your favourite soy bolognese and let it simmer briefly. The flavourless shirataki noodles absorb the sauce perfectly. Since the spaghetti is colourless, the difference is not even visually noticeable on the plate. In short: a great alternative to wheat noodles!
