No Calorie Rice Pearls Shirataki Noodles

Perfect Rice Pearls

Celebrated as a miracle food, Shirataki Noodles are carbohydrate-free, fat-free, wheat-free, gluten-free, sugar-free, soy-free and lactose-free – the perfect alternative to high-carbohydrate bread, pasta and grains. Whether you're putting a healthy spin on rice pudding or a side to your creamy curry, Rice Pearls Shirataki Noodles enhance both sweet and savoury dishes.

They consist of konjac glucomannan – a soluble dietary fibre derived from the root of the konjac plant. Similar to our sweet potato, the plant grows in eastern countries. Medical studies link its positive effects on people living with type 2 diabetes, obesity, constipation and cholesterol; or those on a low carbohydrate or low GI eating plan.

Directions

Drain noodles in a colander and rinse for 1 minute under cold running water. Drain off the water. Then there are two methods of cooking, depending on what you're preparing:

When making a stir-fry: Put your wok or your pan on high heat. Add a healthy oil to the pan (we suggest coconut oil, olive oil, peanut oil, or avocado oil). Stir-fry for 2 minutes. Add some low sodium soy sauce, some chilli paste, or some pesto to taste. Add the rest of your ingredients.

When making a saucy dish:  Bring water to a boil in a pot, add a dash of salt and boil noodles for 1 minute. Drain well and add your sauce as usual.
