Zenith of Exotic Noodles
These shirataki noodles are a blank canvas for flavor, so don't be afraid to experiment with different seasonings and sauces. You can also add other vegetables, such as carrots, snap peas, or baby corn. If you're feeling adventurous, try adding some crumbled tofu or tempeh.
Shirataki noodles have been a staple in Japanese cuisine for centuries. They are made from the konjac plant, which is native to Southeast Asia. Konjac is a starchy root vegetable that is high in fiber and low in calories. Shirataki noodles are made by grinding konjac into a flour, then mixing it with water and forming it into noodles. The noodles are then boiled or steamed until they are cooked through.
