“This pesto chicken keto pasta is a quick idea where I throw together konjac noodles, pesto and chicken breasts. I also add roasted cherry tomatoes which add bites of sweetness. Remember, these noodles need to be rinsed well before using. I simmer them several times in batches of fresh water. This removes the funky packaging smell. Regarding the texture, well, you get used to it!” – Monya
“Backpacking around Vietnam with Funnyman in 2010 was one of our best holidays ever! I recall having phở bo (pronounced “fuh” – not “foo” or “foh”) for the first time in Hanoi. I was blown away and happily slurped it down numerous times as we travelled north to south over several weeks. Now, many years later and hardcore into my very low-carb lifestyle, I wanted to relive those awesome memories. I created a quick 15-minute keto pho bo using the (konjac / shirataki) ‘noodles‘ to make it low-carb friendly. You could also use courgette noodles.” – Monya
“Fragrant, spicy, creamy… this Thai prawn curry was made using Thai yellow curry paste and coconut milk. I struggle to find Thai yellow curry paste in the stores here in the UK, so I buy it online. It’s authentic, delicious and affordable. I quickly cook the prawns before starting the curry, then add them back in later to warm through before serving. This prevents an unsightly grey soup and delays the sauce reducing. I learnt this from experience! The sauce is reduced until thick and creamy and then simply poured over konjac pasta. The plump prawns, sweet cherry tomatoes, salty fish sauce, spicy chilies, acidic lime and the fragrant coriander create perfect harmony. I also added a teaspoon of powdered erythritol to finish it off with some much-needed sweetness. Simply put – you need to eat this!” – Monya
“I love big, bold flavours that slap me right in the face. Craving pasta happens to all of us, but thanks to shirataki (konjac) noodles, we can make a creamy sauce and enjoy it guilt-free. A few nights ago, I used everything I had in the fridge to make this satisfying dinner.” – Monya
