Dried Konjac Rice, 100g x 2 packs
Dried konjac rice: a rice-like bite, no fishy smell
Most konjac rice comes wet, packed in fishy-smelling liquid. Ours is dried, so there's no smell when you open the pouch and it keeps in the cupboard. Soak it in cold water, simmer for 12 minutes and leave it to stand, and it has a slightly al dente bite that's close to real rice. Use it on its own, or mix it with white or brown rice.
- About 40% fewer calories than cooked rice: 135 kcal per 190 g serving

- 1 pouch = 2 servings: 100 g dry makes 380 g of rice

Use it for curries, egg fried rice, risotto and rice salads.
