“I really want to encourage you to give shirataki (konjac) noodles a try if you have been a sceptic in the past. They never soften like pasta or rice, but these products have zero carbs. This means you can enjoy a delicious meal high in soluble fibre without a shred of guilt. Obviously, you need get past the texture, but like all things in life, you will get used to it. See my instructions below on how best to prepare them to eliminate the bizarre packaging smell. I make many delicious sauces and casseroles to enjoy alongside our ‘noodles’ or ‘rice’. However, here I simply made a delicious roast garlic butter and scattered over a generous pinch of dried chilli flakes for extra kick!” – Monya
