Shirataki noodles are translucent, gelatinous Japanese noodles made from the konjac yam’s fiber (glucomannan), known as “miracle noodles” for being extremely low in calories, carbs, and fat, while being high in soluble fiber. They have a mild taste and chewy texture, absorbing flavors well, and are popular in low-carb diets for promoting fullness and digestive health. They come packed in liquid and require thorough rinsing and heating to remove odor and improve texture before adding to dishes like soups, stir-fries, or salads.
