Shirataki Udon Noodles are Japanese noodles made from the roots of the konjac plant. This slightly translucent type of noodle may look a bit crazy at first glance, but it is perfect to use in almost any noodle dish. The big advantage of Shirataki Udon Noodles is the fact that they are very low in calories, making them extremely suitable in a calorie-restricted diet. The noodles themselves have little flavour and can therefore be nicely flavoured with the other ingredients in your noodle dish. These noodles are packed ‘ready-to-eat’ in a bag with water, so you only need to rinse and reheat them. Also available in other varieties.
