Shirataki is a type of Japanese noodle made from fiber derived from the tuberous root of the konjac plant. These noodles, which are typically long and thin with a translucent white or brown color, have long been a feature of Japanese cuisine. More recently, shirataki noodles have gained in popularity as a replacement for other types of noodle such as spaghetti. This is because these noodles tick all the boxes when it comes to healthy eating, being fat-free, low-carb, and low in calories. In addition, shirataki noodles are great at absorbing flavors and add a unique texture to dishes, making them a great addition to any cook’s repertoire.
*Mitoku’s Organic Shirataki comes in packets containing a watery liquid that needs to be drained and rinsed off before the noodles are used.
