Here’s a super quick lunch or dinner with a golden hue of goodness. You can also try using prawns or beef strips. Add garlic and ginger if you like.
Working from home has its benefits, but it also means that you’re much closer to the fridge.
Konjac is a plant native to Southeast Asia. It’s known for its starchy corm (the modified stem of the plant), which is a tuber-like part of the underground stem containing glucomannan, a water-soluble dietary fibre. People extract glucomannan from konjac to create a gel-like substance with very few calories and carbohydrates.
Konjac has become popular as a food ingredient and it’s commonly used to make konjac flour, konjac noodles and other konjac-based products. Konjac noodles, also known as shirataki noodles, are a common choice for those following low-carb or gluten-free diets, as they offer a low-calorie alternative to traditional wheat-based noodles in various Asian dishes.
In addition to its culinary uses, konjac has been employed in traditional Chinese and Japanese medicine for its potential health benefits. Some believe it may assist in weight loss, blood sugar control, and cholesterol management.
