I live in Japan (American) and I love shirataki as a keto friendly pasta substitute. I started eating them because of their lower carb levels, but even happier now that you confirmed their ketogenic properties. Thanks Doc!
I’m SO glad that these exist!! I was disappointed to be separated from my favourite noodle bowls to stay on keto so I got super happy after seeing this!
I make an absolutely delicious Keto-friendly stir fry with shirataki (konjac) noodles or rice. I cook a small to moderate portion of grass-fed beef (steak) in either ghee or avocado oil, with Himalayan salt and freshly-ground Tellicherry peppercorns, fresh garlic and red onions. I add in broccoli, celery, portobello or shiitake mushrooms, and pasture-raised eggs. I mix it all together with those noodles or rice, then top it with fresh parsley and a small handful of broccoli sprouts - after it’s off the stove heat. It’s delicious! If you’re on Keto and doing OMAD (“one meal a day”), it’s very satisfying, as there is a HUGE amount of vegetables in this meal.
Hey Doc!! And, anyone else who is interested --- The correct pronunciation is kone-yack. 😀😉 I love it!! It's delicious!!! There IS flavor, but not the crazy way westerners expect flavor. It's made of corm, not corn. Pro Tip: Start out slow, and only eat half of what you think you'll want. Because it will swell/expand in your stomach and intestines. Your body has to get used to it.
I am a Japanese who live in Canada. We often eat konjac with seaweed salada. Some people do not like the smell, so I highly recommend boil and rince well. Also, there is Konjac jelly with fruit tastes. They are very tasty but low calorie.
Skinny pasta and skinny rice are rarely available in Japan😂 Additional information, The best boiling time in salted water is 2 or 3 minutes. Over-boiling makes konjac tough. And if you boil them with a little vinegar, the smell is further removed. You can also add sake🍶
FYI, many brands that make konjac noodles (like Miracle Noodle) are now transitioning to using citric acid in the water solution rather than calcium hydroxide/limewater (the culprit of the "fishy" smell. Citric acid has no odor, so depending on which brand you buy, they may be a lot more palatable and simple to prepare! Another heads up though, always check the ingredients because some brands contain soy which is questionable. I believe Nasoya does so I typically stick to Miracle Noodle.
Is calcium hydroxide even a safe ingredients to consume? I wonder how konjac noodles were traditionally made 100s of years ago, they wouldn't have used chemicals
@@annc.3908 maybe you got a bad brand. Mine barelly smelled. And if you boil them for 5 minutes and then rinse with clear water the smell goes away completely.
In the "Timing is everything!" category, I had some konjac noodles for dinner last night. I did the nutrition calculations and my dinner was 350 calories, and that included a salad.
Yes, that's very good, is not everyone can do that. Why I say this, is because , I see/read many receipts, but they never specify and or breakdown the calories contents. Great! You must show others how you're doing it. Have a blessed day. 🤗♥️
You are helping transform my life by all your knowledge! Thank you!!! I have started the keto diet and it has affected my mind and body in such an amazing way! Really has changed my life.
I bought konjac noodles at costco and I am happy to say that its a great substitute , let me tell you I am quite fussy about many items that I use on keyo diet, I hated vegetables as noodles , but this is a great replacement👍 I rinsed it and then added to other ingredients on a heated pan , added some sauces and butter , it is an awesome replacement👌
I’m so glad to hear this because I’ve been eating them a few times a week. Alfredo sauce, curry sauce, brown gravy, are a few of the flavors I like. I cut the noodles down to bite size pieces because they are chewy.
I cut them down too because they are actually a choking hazard. People have died eating them. The strands don't break easily and it's even difficult with teeth. I would never let kids have them.
I use the konjac "rice" a lot, too. I just rinse it and toss it into soups, broth, chili, whatever, no fussing with cutting up noodles. Any leftover bits of this and that in the frig can be quickly made into a hardy soup.
@@carmiejones8289 Wonderful that there is also have konjac "rice". I'm looking forward to trying both the konjac noodles and rice now! I do miss having noodles once in a while on keto so this will be perfect!
@@NintCondition Walmart. One brand name is Taste of Asia. I find them so much easier to eat than noodles because they are small, like rice. I mix them with something I’m having like meat & veggies, or soup, etc.
Dude, so glad you did a video on this. I started eating konjac noodles a few months ago after finding them pretty cheap on Amazon (in Canada, so it's harder to get some stuff in local markets). Some things to add to your video comments: - They are super chewy. Might want to avoid the long noodles like spaghetti due to this. Maybe give them a try and figure out if you want to chew your noodles that much before ordering a bunch! - They stink. Like seriously, the noodles smell like fish. However, this has no impact on their taste (like Dr. Berg says, they are basically tasteless). Don't let this put you off, just be aware that they aren't bad, they just smell bad. Rinse them a good couple of times before eating them (it's also recommended on the package and good hygiene in general - especially whenever you're not sure where or how a product is produced or manufactured). - Interesting fact (at least to me): the konjac plant (蒟蒻) is native to Yunnan, China. They've been eating this type of stuff for hundreds of years, and it's part of Chinese traditional medicine. My wife is Chinese, so she's a huge supporter of stuff like this.
The fishy smell is due to the calcium carbonate preservative. Soak in Apple Cider or Rice Vinegar for 5 minutes, then rinse with running water twice before using.
As of this morning, I have lost 40 lbs since February, thanks to Dr Berg, Keto and IF. I feel SO much better. For the first time in my life, I have a diet that doesn't feel like a 'diet' and I'm sure I can continue for the rest of my life. Thank you Doctor! I look forward to your new videos every day.
Wow- that is wonderful! Thank you for sharing! Would you mind using this link to share your success story and tell us more about your journey? www.drberg.com/add-client-success-story We'd love to hear about it!
I refuse to get on the scale. When I did get on the scale after 2 months of Keto/IF and OMAD, I had only lost 6 pounds. But I feel amazing, I'm a 63 yr old woman my skin is beautiful, I don't have lose skin except on my thighs and my clothing showed different. I had lost 4 pant sizes. Started at size 24 and was a 20. And as of today I feel and look like I have shed 50 or 60 pds. I also use Dr. Bergs products. Thanks Dr. Berg. I am going to take the recommended course. And WILL keep on keeping on this journey. I will get on the scale on my birthday in December. Be blessed friends!❤
I am loving it now. I just rinse it really well and inlet it boil for a long time then i pan fry it to remove the moisture before i use it. I used itvin making pad thai and in making vietnamese bun thit nuong. I saw a recipe for keto chow mein recipe, so i will try that as well
After discovering Shiritaki/ konjac noodles, it has helped both me and my husband with our keto diet. We eat it with soup and with sauce. It definitely keeps me more full and I am not hungry for a very long time after a meal. Thank you Dr. Berg for keeping us updated on the latest keto foods so we can fight the good fight to stay thin and healthy.
I triple rinse them, set in a bowl of water in the fridge when ready to use, just take out the amount you need for your dish, pat dry and add them to whatever you’re making…delish!!!
Thank you Dr. Berg for going the extra mile each and every time by teaching & showing us the what, why & how nutrition affects our bodies and what their function is. It really matters and makes a difference bc it helps us make educated choices. 🙏🏽
I absolutely love them. The key is to rinse well. They will take on the flavor of your keto sauces when tossed and heated well. We use coconut amino acids and toss these in our Asian dishs. I add the rice version to my broccoli and cheese casserole. So delicious! My grandson's like them with Kerry gold butter and a dash of coconut amino acid. We use them when making spaghetti...their use is endless.
Thanks Doc. I’ve been eating shiitake noodles for about a year and a half now. I love them. I’ve tried different brands and like The brand that Walmart carries (Nasoya) the best. To my pallet, they have a corn taste. I mix in an Italian red sauce, Alfredo sauce or pesto. Proteins I use are beef, chicken and shrimp.
They kind of remind me of overcooked pasta, but lighter and less gooey. Takes a little getting use to how to use them with your meals, but it's not difficult.
Konjac is also used here in Japan as partial rice substitute. So instead of eating a bowl of rice only, you mix rice and Konjac and hence, consume way less carbs. It's almost flavor neutral.
I’m Taiwanese and I love konjac noodles! They have always been something we use to try to lose weights and the texture is so good and they absorb sauce so well so I can make them as any flavor as I want. Hight recommended!
Thank you so much for clarifying that they are Keto friendly. I love them!!!! I haven’t eaten ‘real’ pasta in soooo long, these are truly a miracle godsend for me. I’ve been adding loads of veg mainly cruciferius veg with soya sauce and they’re yummy. I have to admit I was a bit scared when I clicked on this video, just in case you said they weren’t Keto but luckily they are. Thank you once again.
One of my fave keto meals to make is konjac noodles with mushrooms and leftover chicken chunks (or prawns...) in coconut milk with curry and some greens! It’s so satisfying when you’re doing intermittent fasting and only eat a meal or two 👌🤤 🍝
That sounds easy maybe that’s what I should’ve made tonight. Maybe tomorrow still have mushrooms and I have coconut milk and I do have curries seasoning.
I’ve tried all three substitutes but we like the vegetable ones the best. I made zucchini noodles with chicken , spinach , mushrooms and Parmesan cheese in a cream , herb, and garlic sauce and it is SO good. My daughter and non keto husband love it! I also use them in ‘spaghetti bolognese’. The other noodles I use in my homemade chicken ‘noodle’ soup.
I've really grown to LOVE them!!! I take chicken spinach and mushrooms and butter and a bit of HWC and parmesan cheese... Poof.. dinner... Totally keto friendly and filling.. especially when I'm doing omad ❤
We can get a range of these in Australia. I find konjac noodles are a fantastic substitute for vermicelli, in laksas etc (the angel hair version). To me the thicker pasta substitutes and especially the rice version are less successful because the texture is too slippery and not firm enough. But they are a great product for those of us who have to watch our blood sugar!
Yellow summer squash makes great noodles too. Weird name however.......Squadles? Also cabbage sliced in pasta shaped strips is really good if you like cabbage, just boil them to the tenderness you like.
I have these all the time! They come in rice shape too which is my favorite. Just don't expect that they're the same as rice and pasta. But as a zero-carb substitute, they work great! Rinse thoroughly and dry roast in a skillet to remove water so they'll absorb sauces. I'm so pleased that they are Dr. Berg approved!
I just don't like noodles in general, do not miss pasta or bread one bit. Thanks Sensei Berg, I am literally at my 1996 martial arts fighting weight because of your advice this last year. I have already improved my kidney function as well.
I have been having these for a while as they are a great substitute for pasta, noodles and rice, I was hoping that Dr Berg or one of the other keto dr's I follow would do a video on this, and here it is. The most common ones in the UK a slim pasta, the rice is also really good
@@frappelover6213 It should do. I wash mine well, I’m guessing I’m using the same ones they are called ’bare naked' over here, then I strain them as much as possible, then sauté them to help dry them out. I mix in various herbs or spices as well, depending on the meal. Ours come wet in sealed pouches so, as there aren’t really enough for two and they are fairly expensive, I mix them with zucchini noodles, they really go well with meatballs and a good keto tomato sauce. With grated cheddar on top. A seriously strong cheddar of course.
This is a good tip. I actually boil them for 2 minutes, then strain them, then into the dry pan until they start popping. I learned this method from Dr.Gundry.
Thank you for clarifying whether or not Shiritake or miracle noodles are Leto appropriate. I’ve never had a thirst problem after eating these noodles, and it’s a nice addition to my diet.
Since April 1st this year I have been Keto, lost 48lbs . Thank you Dr Berg for all your videos , it has made the world of difference to me. I’ve been eating these noodles since the recommendation of ‘Heavenly Fan’ TH-cam channel. I think they are delicious, I generally have them with king prawns & veg. I love that they are satisfying to eat ( nice bite ) and are filling too. I located some konjac powder recently and added a tiny amount to my sauce to thicken - it really does swell x 50. Definitely can recommend
I made a delicious Thai style soup with the noodles in coconut milk, miso, spring onions, ginger, chilly, like juice, tamari sauce, lemongrass, cilantro, broccoli spinach, tuna, hard boiled egg pieces,, etc. It was so yummy.
I've been getting these lately since they added them to the pasta shelf at our local market. They got spaghetti, fettuccini and nootles variants. Works real well for pasta courses just immerse it in sauuuuce :)
I made these noodles today. I combine them with cabbage, onions, soy sauce, garlic, and cilantro.. and drizzled a little olive oil on it! I love it these noodles have curb my appetite as well. Thanks for the information doc
Tried them recently and I'm very pleased with them hopefully it helps my keto journey because since the pandemic I have gained some extra weight that I had already previously lost wake me up back on keto cause it does work
We have them once every 3 months. My husband enjoys them. I put Costco’s pesto on it and some fried mushrooms, little tomatoes, shrimp. Can be made as a side or main dish. Must add grated cheese!
They MUST be prepared properly. Rinse, thoroughly, in a strainer. Heat in a pan on low/medium for several minutes. I usually add sweet cream butter and simmer them for a few more minutes before adding a sauce.
I think they work great in Asian and cream sauces dishes instead of noodles or rice. For Italian tomato base dishes I prefer zucchini. It’s a brilliant food staple to have in the pantry 😍
Another thing to be careful of is eating too much too fast, and with no other food. I ate 2 packs one night and it plugged me up because they expand and don't digest. Was throwing up and had stomach pains. It took 30-40 hours to feel better.
I recently discovered konjac noodles and I think they're a great substitute for grain pastas. I made pad thai tonight with them and it was really good.
I had these with spaghetti meat sauce last week. I bought an organic brand from Thrive. I really enjoyed them, just rinsed them off, not really any taste. The one thing that surprised me is they pass right on through and don't really digest. It gave me some cramps the 1st day I tried them, the second day was not so bad. I will use them again, the carb count is great! I used Rao's spaghetti sauce mixed with primal kitchens garlic alfredo sauce and 1 lb of hamburger. It was delicious!
Not into keto but I do eat konjac for my diet since I don't eat rice now although I'm asian. It's easily available in various forms and my favourites are konjac fettuccine, rice and macaroni😍 If you think it's fishy, just boil it for more than 5min with some vinegar. It will remove the unpleasant smell. You can cook it however you want afterward. I like to have konjac egg fried rice and kimchi fried rice
@@beverlybalfe115 It doesn’t take long. I’ve soaked them for 5-10 mins to as little as just a minute. Just cover them in cold water, add a few splashes of vinegar and stir around making sure the vinegar is mixed into the water. Let it sit a bit then drain and rinse. Voila! No stinky konjac noodles! 😁
Glucomannan powder is an excellent thickener for gravy, thickening fruit sauce for low carb cheesecake and I use it to make low carb lemon pie. I use fat head dough to roll the crust. It does not clump the same as the other low carb thickeners.
Hello from France ! I use them aswell, in soups or with sauce as pasta, or with vegetables wok style. They don’t have really any special taste. They take the taste of what you put with them. Nice texture too.
Thank you for awesome videos. I use Skinny noodles and Wonder Noodles. I by on Amazon. I love pasta but hated the FULLNESS in my stomach. So I basically stopped eating them altogether. I would use rice and potatoes which are not good for me. Now I can enjoy pastas and feel good about what I am eating.I'm satisfied and I make so many different variations of sauces. The possibilities are endless.
I use them with my home made spaghetti sauce. I like them more than Zucchini noodles. I also use them in stir fries. They also have some in little bits that they call rice, but I wasn't a fan of that. Cauliflower rice is much better.
I trainned to run 13 miles and lost a total of 32 lbs. I jogged and reduced clories for about 6 months. End result affter loosing some weight I felt weak. I did eliminate most process foods and cut down on eating fast foods. . When the pandemic started the 1/2 marathon I tranned hard for was canceled. Subsequently I gained back 5 lbs. I saw Dr. Eric Bergs videos and I have learned alot about healthy eating. I adjusted my diet and started eating two meals a day on days that I do 16 hour fast. With what I have learned about food and cut down more on carbs and added healthy fats I lost 18 lbs. I feel much better physically and mentally sharper. My orinal weight was 207 lbs. Can any do the math to figure out my current weight. Retired Algebra teacher. Dr. Berg you are doing a great job helping so many people. PS i want to order the nutritional yeast.
I love it! It has a fishy smell when you open the package but to get rid of the smell simply dry it a little bit on a pan . Now I know it is Dr Berg approved!! Great!!
I rinse them under the tap, usually gets rid of that whiff, & someone told me it was the lime in the liquid they come in. Not sure if that's true though. 👍
The fishy smell is due to the calcium carbonate preservative. Soak in Apple Cider or Rice Vinegar for 5 minutes, then rinse with running water twice before using.
I just had my first meal of Konjac noodles (made a stir fry) and they're SO GOOD, I'm really happy :D Didn't realize they had these other good effects too, thanks so much for the info ^_^
I just tried the rice form of the Konjac noodles. No taste and the texture was more like barley. With spices and a few other ingredients to approximate fried rice, it tasted great. The Bag indicated that there was no odour and no need to rinse and that was true. Other Konjac noodles I have tried all have an odour and a need for alot of rinsing. Great alternative. Thanks for your perspective on this.
I like the noodles, I chop them up really tiny, & add them to soups, or do stirfrys. We also get Spaghetti, Fettuccine & Penne pasta shaped varieties, here in the UK. Handy to have in, as a bit of Keto Prep, for when I can't get certain Vegetables to Spiralize. (Which is happening more frequently now.) TFS this important information with us all. Take care too everybody. ❤🙂🐶
I literally have been wondering this for about a week now. I was so excited when I discovered these that I made my homemade recipe OMG!!! The texture is like a Al dente noodle so thankful to have this option...
Glad to hear that, I was almost sure but. Used a lot, but in last few months I cut carbs to less than 5% and every little counts. After your advice I will use again, sometime, Italian style..Aglio, Olio e Peperoncino (garlic, EVO and chilly peppers) YUMMY YUMMY
I use the miracle noodles and I love them. I rinse for double the time called for and then pan dry in a hot frypan or wok depends on how I'm using them. Add some butter to keep from sticking and for an added layer of flavor. toss in spaghetti or alfredo sauce. Or do a keto lo mien. YUMM. I've also made a keto chicken noodle soup with them.
Konjac noodles are good to have with stir fry, and particularly before a fast. I'm surprised you left out kelp noodles. They're great in salads and stir fry. Because they're made of powdered kelp, they're also pretty healthy.
In Pakistan we use it in "Falooda" which is a mixture of these noodles, sugar syrup and khoya or Rabri (made of milk, by boiling milk untill it gets very thick brown color)
I like these quite a bit. I can now eat my favorite "pasta" dishes again, which was the reason it too me as long as it did to get on Keto. I have always loved pasta. It was always my biggest weakness as far as the S.A.D. I'd like to find a good keto recipe for Lo-Mein, as I would make that in a heartbeat if I knew how.
I LOVE THESE NOODELS !!!! (Shirataki) I feel like I'm having pasta, you can mix it with anything you make as long as it has a broth or some kind of liquid base, I used them with shrimp and a butter, garlic sauce, delicious. Can't find them in the store yet, I'm in Florida but have ordered on line, and my family tried them too, they had no complaints. Which I knew about these years ago. Thanks Dr. Berg for this video, and all that you do, Love all your video and have shared with family & friends.
The Japanese actually pronounce it the same way the French pronounce their brandy - cognac! It also has kind of a funky smell. But is fine once it has been cooked.
I can’t stand the taste- even after extensive prep to get rid of it...then I douse with tons of cover up the taste type ingredients. To much trouble for me, wish I liked them. Good to know info! Thanks!
Been eating these a lot. Glad to know they're actually GOOD for you! I'm searching for organic ones now, which seem to be available at a lower price on Thrive.
I have never tried these noodles but I have tried something called Healthy Noodles from Costco that tastes pretty good. Reminds me of a rice noodle or a pad Thai-type noodle. It's a good substitute when my family is eating spaghetti or having some other garlic butter type pasta.
It's written on the box to consume min 200ml of water during eating them... due to danger of suffocation ☝🏼 not because dehydration ☝🏼. First bites are ok, nevermind what sauce you use with... and they also look very good with any sauce. But then I understand the warning on the box. That stuff is like gum/rubber. The noodles don't have any own taste, but the consistency/structure/bitefeeling is cruel. Between the tooth like soft finger nails, in the throat like gum. And seriously, I needed the water to finish them. Never tried the rice version, but for the noodles... can't personally recommend them.
I love spaghett squash too and i cut it in half not lengthwise. They are much longer to twirl around the fork. 😁 I also love zoodles.(zucchini spirals) soo good!
I ate them for breakfast today and they were good. I first sliced some garlic, fried it in olive oil, added soy sauce and waited, till the water boiled off, then i added the noodles and an egg and fried it for a few minutes.
I've tried them once. Got severe stomach pain and later intestenal pain after eating. This lasted for 3 days! So I stick with the zucchini noodles, brocolli and cauliflower rice.
As an Asian, we eat it since our childhood and there are tons of different food made with konjac where I'm from. The benefits for weight loss is really outstanding, bc you stay full for longer and there is zero sugar konjac jello (search Korean zero sugar conjac jelly) etc that's easily digestible. I'd say try again, but maybe soak the noodles in baking soda for a little so it's softer, then rinse well with water. Drink more water after eating.
@@loveislove2359 Thanks for the tip! Would you share how much baking soda, (assuming in water to soak) I've been using them a lot but would be nice to make them softer! :D
I’ve been eating these for years! I have a subscription for a special package that consists of the rice and the fettuccine. It helps me when I’m trying for one meal a day. If you cook them properly then you shouldn’t have any issues with the flavor and chew.
Can you tell me what brand you eat and how you cook them? I had the fettuccini style miracle noodles and it tasted like rubber bands!!!! I boiled them and then pan fried

Dude, so glad you did a video on this. I started eating konjac noodles a few months ago after finding them pretty cheap on Amazon (in Canada, so it's harder to get some stuff in local markets). Some things to add to your video comments:
- They are super chewy. Might want to avoid the long noodles like spaghetti due to this. Maybe give them a try and figure out if you want to chew your noodles that much before ordering a bunch!
- They stink. Like seriously, the noodles smell like fish. However, this has no impact on their taste (like Dr. Berg says, they are basically tasteless). Don't let this put you off, just be aware that they aren't bad, they just smell bad. Rinse them a good couple of times before eating them (it's also recommended on the package and good hygiene in general - especially whenever you're not sure where or how a product is produced or manufactured).
- Interesting fact (at least to me): the konjac plant (蒟蒻) is native to Yunnan, China. They've been eating this type of stuff for hundreds of years, and it's part of Chinese traditional medicine. My wife is Chinese, so she's a huge supporter of stuff like this.
The fishy smell is due to the calcium carbonate preservative. Soak in Apple Cider or Rice Vinegar for 5 minutes, then rinse with running water twice before using.
Thank you for this explanation. Very informative!
@@BuddhasMiddleFinger thank you for your comment. Good to know both comments are very informative.
I use NuPasta in Canada. It’s a privately owned company out of Markham. I really enjoy konjac noodles.
@@BuddhasMiddleFinger that's awesome! I have tons of ACV, I didn't even think of using it! I'm gonna try that next time I use kojac! Thanks!
As of this morning, I have lost 40 lbs since February, thanks to Dr Berg, Keto and IF. I feel SO much better. For the first time in my life, I have a diet that doesn't feel like a 'diet' and I'm sure I can continue for the rest of my life. Thank you Doctor! I look forward to your new videos every day.
Wow- that is wonderful! Thank you for sharing! Would you mind using this link to share your success story and tell us more about your journey? www.drberg.com/add-client-success-story We'd love to hear about it!
Can you please tell me ur diet and meals that u usually eat ive been struggling with weight
👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿😁
@@Drberg Dr Berg is there a chance you could talk about instant noodles? Like I know there not good, but just how bad are they?
Congratulations! 🥳🙌🏾
I refuse to get on the scale. When I did get on the scale after 2 months of Keto/IF and OMAD, I had only lost 6 pounds. But I feel amazing, I'm a 63 yr old woman my skin is beautiful, I don't have lose skin except on my thighs and my clothing showed different. I had lost 4 pant sizes. Started at size 24 and was a 20. And as of today I feel and look like I have shed 50 or 60 pds. I also use Dr. Bergs products. Thanks Dr. Berg. I am going to take the recommended course. And WILL keep on keeping on this journey. I will get on the scale on my birthday in December.
Be blessed friends!❤
Be blessed love ❤!
I am loving it now. I just rinse it really well and inlet it boil for a long time then i pan fry it to remove the moisture before i use it. I used itvin making pad thai and in making vietnamese bun thit nuong. I saw a recipe for keto chow mein recipe, so i will try that as well
After discovering Shiritaki/ konjac noodles, it has helped both me and my husband with our keto diet. We eat it with soup and with sauce. It definitely keeps me more full and I am not hungry for a very long time after a meal. Thank you Dr. Berg for keeping us updated on the latest keto foods so we can fight the good fight to stay thin and healthy.
I triple rinse them, set in a bowl of water in the fridge when ready to use, just take out the amount you need for your dish, pat dry and add them to whatever you’re making…delish!!!
Thanks for the tip!
Thank you Dr. Berg for going the extra mile each and every time by teaching & showing us the what, why & how nutrition affects our bodies and what their function is. It really matters and makes a difference bc it helps us make educated choices. 🙏🏽
I absolutely love them. The key is to rinse well. They will take on the flavor of your keto sauces when tossed and heated well. We use coconut amino acids and toss these in our Asian dishs.
I add the rice version to my broccoli and cheese casserole. So delicious! My grandson's like them with Kerry gold butter and a dash of coconut amino acid.
We use them when making spaghetti...their use is endless.
We have Konjac noodles sometimes as they're a great replacement for traditional noodles in Phò etc. Thanks for this video.
I've mixed kelp noodles and zucchini noodles together. It's delicious with the combined texture, the dressing is the key :)
Thanks Doc. I’ve been eating shiitake noodles for about a year and a half now. I love them. I’ve tried different brands and like The brand that Walmart carries (Nasoya) the best. To my pallet, they have a corn taste. I mix in an Italian red sauce, Alfredo sauce or pesto. Proteins I use are beef, chicken and shrimp.
Yes me 2
I have them a least 5 times a week
*shirataki noodles (shiitake = mushroom)
Thank you for actually telling us what you use and where you got them❤
@@tgwel4839 YW😊
Thanks for sharing where to get this kind of noodles - have been looking all over!
I found out about them thanks to you. They're expensive but still under half the price of pasta ordered at a restaurant.
Broccoli slaw cooked down into noodles is a super good keto friendly noodle replacement
Once you get used to the texture it's a great noodle to use. Just need a bit of resetting of the expectation that it will compare to carb noodles.
They kind of remind me of overcooked pasta, but lighter and less gooey. Takes a little getting use to how to use them with your meals, but it's not difficult.
Yes, reset your expectations to about -100 and pretend that alien entrails are a delicacy and enjoy!🤪
Konjac is also used here in Japan as partial rice substitute. So instead of eating a bowl of rice only, you mix rice and Konjac and hence, consume way less carbs. It's almost flavor neutral.
Thank you. I have been consuming them as part of my low carb diet for a long time, they are a great pasta substitute! I couldn't do without them now.
That's great. Good job!
I’m Taiwanese and I love konjac noodles! They have always been something we use to try to lose weights and the texture is so good and they absorb sauce so well so I can make them as any flavor as I want. Hight recommended!
Thank you so much for clarifying that they are Keto friendly. I love them!!!! I haven’t eaten ‘real’ pasta in soooo long, these are truly a miracle godsend for me. I’ve been adding loads of veg mainly cruciferius veg with soya sauce and they’re yummy. I have to admit I was a bit scared when I clicked on this video, just in case you said they weren’t Keto but luckily they are. Thank you once again.
You're welcome!
One of my fave keto meals to make is konjac noodles with mushrooms and leftover chicken chunks (or prawns...) in coconut milk with curry and some greens! It’s so satisfying when you’re doing intermittent fasting and only eat a meal or two 👌🤤 🍝
Sounds nice. Enjoy!
That sounds easy maybe that’s what I should’ve made tonight. Maybe tomorrow still have mushrooms and I have coconut milk and I do have curries seasoning.
Zucchini noodles lightly sautéed in butter take on a flavor and texture of wheat noodles.
Good to know! Sounds yummy!
First!!!
other alternatives to pasta:
spaghetti squash
zucchini noodles
thank you dr berg!
@@Prettyscorp80 👍👍👍
I love love love zucchini noodles with meatsauce (tomato sauce with ground hamburger, basil and fresh Parmigiano-Reggiano)
Do you have a tool to make the noodles with that you like? I have to make a large amount for a family and the tool I have takes too long.
@@Mo-mr8vv I can buy them frozen at my grocery store. Just pan-fry in olive or avocado oil or ghee.
@@luddity ahhhhh. I was looking to use the ones from my garden. But thank you ☺️🌱
I use a spirilizer but I let my daughters make them-they think it’s fun so it’s not a big ordeal for me to make them.
I’ve tried all three substitutes but we like the vegetable ones the best. I made zucchini noodles with chicken , spinach , mushrooms and Parmesan cheese in a cream , herb, and garlic sauce and it is SO good. My daughter and non keto husband love it! I also use them in ‘spaghetti bolognese’. The other noodles I use in my homemade chicken ‘noodle’ soup.
Cheryl Pearson, can you please share the recipe?
Yeah it sounds quite good actually! Share recipe?
@@kallekallessons I know right - it really does!
Yeah, the zucchini noodles were the best substitute for my family.
I've really grown to LOVE them!!! I take chicken spinach and mushrooms and butter and a bit of HWC and parmesan cheese... Poof.. dinner... Totally keto friendly and filling.. especially when I'm doing omad ❤
We can get a range of these in Australia. I find konjac noodles are a fantastic substitute for vermicelli, in laksas etc (the angel hair version). To me the thicker pasta substitutes and especially the rice version are less successful because the texture is too slippery and not firm enough. But they are a great product for those of us who have to watch our blood sugar!
Yellow summer squash makes great noodles too. Weird name however.......Squadles?
Also cabbage sliced in pasta shaped strips is really good if you like cabbage, just boil them to the tenderness you like.
I have these all the time! They come in rice shape too which is my favorite. Just don't expect that they're the same as rice and pasta. But as a zero-carb substitute, they work great! Rinse thoroughly and dry roast in a skillet to remove water so they'll absorb sauces.
I'm so pleased that they are Dr. Berg approved!
Ah!! You dry roast them. They retain their shape?
@@ayethegreat4997 Yes. It takes just 3-4 minutes with a preheated pan. Works best with rice.
@@PhiloYT1 thanks!!
@@PhiloYT1 Great tip! Thank you :)
I just don't like noodles in general, do not miss pasta or bread one bit. Thanks Sensei Berg, I am literally at my 1996 martial arts fighting weight because of your advice this last year. I have already improved my kidney function as well.
I have been having these for a while as they are a great substitute for pasta, noodles and rice, I was hoping that Dr Berg or one of the other keto dr's I follow would do a video on this, and here it is. The most common ones in the UK a slim pasta, the rice is also really good
Wow...I was eating them for low carb substitutes but didn't know all these other benefits. I will be eating more of these konjac noodles now.
Rinse these thoroughly, then dry in a colander. Saute briefly in a frying pan to dry.
Thanks for this. I don’t like Konjac noodles but I’ll give them another try using your tip.
Yes I couldn’t stomach these, so nasty. Will this make it taste better?
Great tip!!!
@@frappelover6213 It should do. I wash mine well, I’m guessing I’m using the same ones they are called ’bare naked' over here, then I strain them as much as possible, then sauté them to help dry them out. I mix in various herbs or spices as well, depending on the meal. Ours come wet in sealed pouches so, as there aren’t really enough for two and they are fairly expensive, I mix them with zucchini noodles, they really go well with meatballs and a good keto tomato sauce. With grated cheddar on top. A seriously strong cheddar of course.
This is a good tip. I actually boil them for 2 minutes, then strain them, then into the dry pan until they start popping. I learned this method from Dr.Gundry.
Dear doctor, I want to thank you for each video you make and each information you provide 🙏🙏🙏
Grew up eating these in sukiyaki. It's a great substitute in my ramen. Thanks for covering this.
Thank you for clarifying whether or not Shiritake or miracle noodles are Leto appropriate. I’ve never had a thirst problem after eating these noodles, and it’s a nice addition to my diet.
Since April 1st this year I have been Keto, lost 48lbs . Thank you Dr Berg for all your videos , it has made the world of difference to me.
I’ve been eating these noodles since the recommendation of ‘Heavenly Fan’ TH-cam channel. I think they are delicious, I generally have them with king prawns & veg. I love that they are satisfying to eat ( nice bite ) and are filling too. I located some konjac powder recently and added a tiny amount to my sauce to thicken - it really does swell x 50. Definitely can recommend
CONGRATS 👏 👏 on your weight loss,
I hope you stick with it.
I made a delicious Thai style soup with the noodles in coconut milk, miso, spring onions, ginger, chilly, like juice, tamari sauce, lemongrass, cilantro, broccoli spinach, tuna, hard boiled egg pieces,, etc. It was so yummy.
I've been getting these lately since they added them to the pasta shelf at our local market. They got spaghetti, fettuccini and nootles variants. Works real well for pasta courses just immerse it in sauuuuce :)
I love these noodles! You are correct, it definitely keeps you feeling full. It’s a nice switch up from spaghetti and zucchini squash.
I made these noodles today. I combine them with cabbage, onions, soy sauce, garlic, and cilantro.. and drizzled a little olive oil on it! I love it these noodles have curb my appetite as well. Thanks for the information doc
Tried them recently and I'm very pleased with them hopefully it helps my keto journey because since the pandemic I have gained some extra weight that I had already previously lost wake me up back on keto cause it does work
We have them once every 3 months. My husband enjoys them. I put Costco’s pesto on it and some fried mushrooms, little tomatoes, shrimp. Can be made as a side or main dish. Must add grated cheese!
It's strange how Costco pesto is literally the BEST pesto. I've tried a dozen other brands and none match up.
@@Xponential911 plus I M allergic to most nuts but I can eat this pesto! No walnuts in it!
@@chomperthefirst533 pine nuts ftw!
I shall try that tommorow for my tea , thank you
They MUST be prepared properly.
Rinse, thoroughly, in a strainer. Heat in a pan on low/medium for several minutes. I usually add sweet cream butter and simmer them for a few more minutes before adding a sauce.
I think they work great in Asian and cream sauces dishes instead of noodles or rice. For Italian tomato base dishes I prefer zucchini. It’s a brilliant food staple to have in the pantry 😍
Thanks Dr. Berg, this is my 5th year Keto/OMAD/EOD (vegan) anniversary. I'm 60, and in the best shape of my life…Be blessed.
Congrats on your Vegaversary! ❤
Another thing to be careful of is eating too much too fast, and with no other food. I ate 2 packs one night and it plugged me up because they expand and don't digest. Was throwing up and had stomach pains. It took 30-40 hours to feel better.
Dang that’s a lot after a few chews I’m full or maybe have it as a small side
I recently discovered konjac noodles and I think they're a great substitute for grain pastas. I made pad thai tonight with them and it was really good.
I eat Konjac noodles regularly, with a large knob of melted butter, and sometimes a pinch of cayenne pepper.
I had these with spaghetti meat sauce last week. I bought an organic brand from Thrive. I really enjoyed them, just rinsed them off, not really any taste. The one thing that surprised me is they pass right on through and don't really digest. It gave me some cramps the 1st day I tried them, the second day was not so bad. I will use them again, the carb count is great! I used Rao's spaghetti sauce mixed with primal kitchens garlic alfredo sauce and 1 lb of hamburger. It was delicious!
Not into keto but I do eat konjac for my diet since I don't eat rice now although I'm asian. It's easily available in various forms and my favourites are konjac fettuccine, rice and macaroni😍 If you think it's fishy, just boil it for more than 5min with some vinegar. It will remove the unpleasant smell. You can cook it however you want afterward. I like to have konjac egg fried rice and kimchi fried rice
That’s what I did and it was so good
I just soak it in water with some vinegar. Takes the smell out quickly.
@@nicolemazza1971 soak for how long?
@@beverlybalfe115 It doesn’t take long. I’ve soaked them for 5-10 mins to as little as just a minute. Just cover them in cold water, add a few splashes of vinegar and stir around making sure the vinegar is mixed into the water. Let it sit a bit then drain and rinse. Voila! No stinky konjac noodles! 😁
@@nicolemazza1971 thank you, thank you so much!
Glucomannan powder is an excellent thickener for gravy, thickening fruit sauce for low carb cheesecake and I use it to make low carb lemon pie. I use fat head dough to roll the crust. It does not clump the same as the other low carb thickeners.
Love konjac noodles! Konjac rice is also great, but too much of a pain in the but to have to strain and rinse compared to the noodles :)
Hello from France !
I use them aswell, in soups or with sauce as pasta, or with vegetables wok style.
They don’t have really any special taste. They take the taste of what you put with them.
Nice texture too.
I just heard about this “noodle”. This video is right on time!! Thank you 😊
Same lol
I tried them. It's ok but not something i would eat often. So exspensive for a small little thing
@@mikeinthetruth agree, and really no flavor, almost like eating solid water
Yes it is expensive! I like that it takes any flavour you add to it.
Thank you for awesome videos. I use Skinny noodles and Wonder Noodles. I by on Amazon. I love pasta but hated the FULLNESS in my stomach. So I basically stopped eating them altogether. I would use rice and potatoes which are not good for me. Now I can enjoy pastas and feel good about what I am eating.I'm satisfied and I make so many different variations of sauces. The possibilities are endless.
I use them with my home made spaghetti sauce. I like them more than Zucchini noodles. I also use them in stir fries. They also have some in little bits that they call rice, but I wasn't a fan of that. Cauliflower rice is much better.
I trainned to run 13 miles and lost a total of 32 lbs. I jogged and reduced clories for about 6 months. End result affter loosing some weight I felt weak. I did eliminate most process foods and cut down on eating fast foods. . When the pandemic started the 1/2 marathon I tranned hard for was canceled. Subsequently I gained back 5 lbs. I saw Dr. Eric Bergs videos and I have learned alot about healthy eating. I adjusted my diet and started eating two meals a day on days that I do 16 hour fast. With what I have learned about food and cut down more on carbs and added healthy fats I lost 18 lbs. I feel much better physically and mentally sharper. My orinal weight was 207 lbs. Can any do the math to figure out my current weight. Retired Algebra teacher. Dr. Berg you are doing a great job helping so many people. PS i want to order the nutritional yeast.
I love it! It has a fishy smell when you open the package but to get rid of the smell simply dry it a little bit on a pan . Now I know it is Dr Berg approved!! Great!!
I rinse them under the tap, usually gets rid of that whiff, & someone told me it was the lime in the liquid they come in. Not sure if that's true though. 👍
Rinse them.
Boil in water for 5min
The fishy smell is due to the calcium carbonate preservative. Soak in Apple Cider or Rice Vinegar for 5 minutes, then rinse with running water twice before using.
@@BuddhasMiddleFinger Great tip! I’ll use the apple cider vinegar which I love! Thank you
I just had my first meal of Konjac noodles (made a stir fry) and they're SO GOOD, I'm really happy :D Didn't realize they had these other good effects too, thanks so much for the info ^_^
I Buy Konjac noodles in Bulk. I love pairing them with pasta sauce, as a substitute for ramen and also stir fried. Quite versatile 👌
Can you share a link? I only see outrageously expensive packs on Amazon.
@@Cryptogally I buy them from H Mart, they're typically less than $2 a pack

@@KETO.n.WRESTLING - Thanks for sharing.
I just tried the rice form of the Konjac noodles. No taste and the texture was more like barley. With spices and a few other ingredients to approximate fried rice, it tasted great. The Bag indicated that there was no odour and no need to rinse and that was true. Other Konjac noodles I have tried all have an odour and a need for alot of rinsing. Great alternative. Thanks for your perspective on this.
I like the noodles, I chop them up really tiny, & add them to soups, or do stirfrys.
We also get Spaghetti, Fettuccine & Penne pasta shaped varieties, here in the UK.
Handy to have in, as a bit of Keto Prep, for when I can't get certain Vegetables to Spiralize. (Which is happening more frequently now.)
TFS this important information with us all.
Take care too everybody. ❤🙂🐶
Hi Maxi......are these available in supermarkets here in the UK
Gilly wife of Mark
Where do you find these varieties in UK please? I have found rice and noodles in Ocado, but never seen any other shapes.
@@kaymgee08 Holland & Barrets do them, they're £2.49 but are in the Penny sale right now. Take care kaymgee08. 👍❤🙂🐶
It's gonna look great. Thanks for sharing the process.👍
Glad to help!
I literally have been wondering this for about a week now. I was so excited when I discovered these that I made my homemade recipe OMG!!! The texture is like a Al dente noodle so thankful to have this option...
Glad to hear that, I was almost sure but. Used a lot, but in last few months I cut carbs to less than 5% and every little counts. After your advice I will use again, sometime, Italian style..Aglio, Olio e Peperoncino (garlic, EVO and chilly peppers) YUMMY YUMMY
My fav pasta alternative 💙
I use the miracle noodles and I love them. I rinse for double the time called for and then pan dry in a hot frypan or wok depends on how I'm using them. Add some butter to keep from sticking and for an added layer of flavor. toss in spaghetti or alfredo sauce. Or do a keto lo mien. YUMM. I've also made a keto chicken noodle soup with them.
Konjac noodles are good to have with stir fry, and particularly before a fast. I'm surprised you left out kelp noodles. They're great in salads and stir fry. Because they're made of powdered kelp, they're also pretty healthy.
Thanks for the suggestion!
In Pakistan we use it in "Falooda" which is a mixture of these noodles, sugar syrup and khoya or Rabri (made of milk, by boiling milk untill it gets very thick brown color)
I like these quite a bit. I can now eat my favorite "pasta" dishes again, which was the reason it too me as long as it did to get on Keto. I have always loved pasta. It was always my biggest weakness as far as the S.A.D. I'd like to find a good keto recipe for Lo-Mein, as I would make that in a heartbeat if I knew how.
I LOVE THESE NOODELS !!!! (Shirataki) I feel like I'm having pasta, you can mix it with anything you make as long as it has a broth or some kind of liquid base, I used them with shrimp and a butter, garlic sauce, delicious. Can't find them in the store yet, I'm in Florida but have ordered on line, and my family tried them too, they had no complaints. Which I knew about these years ago. Thanks Dr. Berg for this video, and all that you do, Love all your video and have shared with family & friends.
The Japanese actually pronounce it the same way the French pronounce their brandy - cognac! It also has kind of a funky smell. But is fine once it has been cooked.
If I spell exact how japanese pronounce...we say konnyac 😅
i use this noodle for lots of keto recipes. They are really helpful in keeping you on keto, for sure.
I can’t stand the taste- even after extensive prep to get rid of it...then I douse with tons of cover up the taste type ingredients. To much trouble for me, wish I liked them. Good to know info! Thanks!
Go with zucchini then
Try one more time rinse with vinegar n lemon
Been eating these a lot. Glad to know they're actually GOOD for you! I'm searching for organic ones now, which seem to be available at a lower price on Thrive.
I have never tried these noodles but I have tried something called Healthy Noodles from Costco that tastes pretty good. Reminds me of a rice noodle or a pad Thai-type noodle. It's a good substitute when my family is eating spaghetti or having some other garlic butter type pasta.
Same thing but the best in Flavor and texture
I was so happy there is keto friendly noodles i used them in a noodle soup the other day love em
It's written on the box to consume min 200ml of water during eating them... due to danger of suffocation ☝🏼 not because dehydration ☝🏼. First bites are ok, nevermind what sauce you use with... and they also look very good with any sauce. But then I understand the warning on the box. That stuff is like gum/rubber. The noodles don't have any own taste, but the consistency/structure/bitefeeling is cruel. Between the tooth like soft finger nails, in the throat like gum. And seriously, I needed the water to finish them. Never tried the rice version, but for the noodles... can't personally recommend them.
You read my mind.... I was wondering about these. Please do diet Soda next
Cut your spaghetti squash into rings about 1 and a half inches thick instead if lengthwise down the middle... you get much longer strands this way!
I love spaghett squash too and i cut it in half not lengthwise. They are much longer to twirl around the fork. 😁 I also love zoodles.(zucchini spirals) soo good!
I ate them for breakfast today and they were good. I first sliced some garlic, fried it in olive oil, added soy sauce and waited, till the water boiled off, then i added the noodles and an egg and fried it for a few minutes.
Tell me more?
I've tried them once. Got severe stomach pain and later intestenal pain after eating. This lasted for 3 days! So I stick with the zucchini noodles, brocolli and cauliflower rice.
As an Asian, we eat it since our childhood and there are tons of different food made with konjac where I'm from. The benefits for weight loss is really outstanding, bc you stay full for longer and there is zero sugar konjac jello (search Korean zero sugar conjac jelly) etc that's easily digestible. I'd say try again, but maybe soak the noodles in baking soda for a little so it's softer, then rinse well with water. Drink more water after eating.
@@loveislove2359 Thanks for the tip! Would you share how much baking soda, (assuming in water to soak) I've been using them a lot but would be nice to make them softer! :D
I’ve been eating these for years! I have a subscription for a special package that consists of the rice and the fettuccine. It helps me when I’m trying for one meal a day. If you cook them properly then you shouldn’t have any issues with the flavor and chew.
Can you tell me what brand you eat and how you cook them? I had the fettuccini style miracle noodles and it tasted like rubber bands!!!! I boiled them and then pan fried
