Konjac noodles, also known as shirataki noodles, are a type of noodle made from the root of the konjac plant. They are low in calories and carbohydrates, making them a popular choice for those following a low-carb or keto diet. The noodles have a unique, gelatinous texture and are often used as a substitute for traditional pasta. These noodles are typically sold in water-filled packages and require rinsing before cooking. They can be added to various dishes, such as stir-fries or soups, absorbing the flavors of the ingredients they are cooked with.
