Why Konjac Noodles?
Also known as shirataki noodles, these translucent, gelatinous noodles are made from the konjac plant and consist almost entirely of water and fiber.
Unlike regular pasta, which can pack up to 350 calories per 100 grams, konjac noodles contain just 10 calories—making them a perfect guilt-free option for weight-conscious food lovers.
This was reported by the newspaper Freundin.
Ingredients (2 Servings)
1 pack konjac noodles (available in Asian supermarkets)
1 small broccoli, cut into florets
1 leek, sliced into thin rings
2 carrots, julienned
1 small zucchini, thinly sliced
1 tbsp coconut oil
3 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp peanut butter
Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
Prep the veggies – Cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets, slice the leek into rings, and julienne the carrots and zucchini into thin strips.
Rinse the konjac noodles under running water and let them drain. To reduce their distinct smell, blanch them briefly in hot water.
Sauté the vegetables – Heat the coconut oil in a pan and stir-fry the broccoli for a few minutes. Add the leeks, carrots, and zucchini, cooking for another 5-7 minutes while stirring occasionally.
Add the noodles – Toss in the konjac noodles and mix well with the vegetables so they heat through evenly.
Make it saucy – Stir in the soy sauce and peanut butter until smooth and creamy. Let the dish simmer for another 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious, low-calorie meal!
Extra Flavor Boosts
For a spicy kick: Add fresh ginger or chili flakes.
For a fresh twist: Squeeze in some lime juice or toss in coriander and lemongrass.
Konjac noodles are gluten-free, low-carb, and incredibly filling, making this stir-fry the perfect meal for a light yet satisfying dinner.
