Shirataki noodles aren’t known as “miracle noodles” for nothing – you can enjoy them just like your regular pasta, but with less worry about your intake of carbohydrates or total daily calories.
Made from the root of the konjac yam plant, these glass-like noodles are naturally lower in calories and net carbs compared to wheat noodles, since they mostly consist of dietary fiber-rich flour derived from the konjac root (called glucomannan) and water.1
In fact, shirataki noodles are about 97% water, which makes them almost carb-free. They also have almost no calories, making them a good addition to a weight loss diet.2 Yams are powerful, just look at our yam cream for saggy skin. Wondering how to prepare shirataki noodles? It’s easy. But first…

Where To Buy Shirataki Noodles
It’s not difficult to find shirataki noodles at your local health food store, Asian grocery store, and even online. Plus, many well-stocked regular grocery stores carry them. You may also find them labeled as miracle noodles, ito konnyaku, glucomannan noodles, or even devil’s tongue noodles. They’re all packaged in liquid, so give them a quick rinse before adding them to your low-carb, low-calorie recipes.
How To Prepare Shirataki Noodles
These miracle noodles are often described as ready-to-eat, which means you can simply drain, rinse, and cook with them straight out of the packaging. However, because they’re often saturated with water (don’t be put off by the sliminess!), they might not soak up the flavor of your other ingredients, so your final dish might not taste as good as you want it to.
Here is the best way to optimize the taste and texture of your shirataki noodles:
- Place your serving of noodles in a sieve. Rinse and drain.
- Dump the noodles into a pot of boiling water. Let them boil for a couple of minutes, then drain again.
- Place the noodles in a dry pan (no oil or any other liquid) over medium heat for a few minutes. Stir often to avoid scorching. This reduces the water in the noodles and improves the texture.
Your cooked noodles are ready.
