Shirataki Noodles

Shirataki is a variety of Japanese noodles made from a yam-like tuber known as Devil's Tongue. The starch is combined with water and limewater to turn the combination into konnyaku, which is then shredded to make these traditional noodles.

Interestingly, shirataki noodles have zero calories because the starch used in the preparation process is indigestible fiber. The noodles are characterized by their thin structure, translucent visual appearance, and gelatinous texture, and are often incorporated into salads or various broths and soups.
