Konjac is a type of healthy Japanese food made of konjac root. This super foo is gluten freem cuts sugar and calories by 75% and is only 75 calories per serving. It is also rich in fiber!’

Finished (click to enlarge). Added kizami nori, narutomaki, shrimp, spring onion, shichimi, and black sesame seeds. The konjac noodles is quite possibly the best gauge I’ve tried yet – very thin with a little extra width. The flavor is a kind of buttery one which seems more atune as a seafood than a shio, but I can see it both ways. Definitely a win for the low cal crowd. 5.0 out of 5.0 stars.
