How does konjac rice compare with real rice?

It is far lower in carbs and higher in fiber, but the texture is chewier and springier and the taste is mild. Use it where sauce and seasoning carry the dish.

How do I cook it so it isn't rubbery?

Rinse it well, then simmer briefly and drain before adding it to the pan. Overcooking makes it tougher, so keep the cooking short.

Each 8 oz bag holds four servings of dried konjac rice.

Does it taste like rice?

Not much on its own. The flavor is neutral, so it takes on the taste of sauces, stocks and seasonings you cook it with.

Our take on the Dried Konjac Rice 500g

Superamen Dried Konjac Rice is a plant-based rice substitute made from konjac, sold in 8 oz bags of four servings. It is low carb, grain-free, gluten-free, soy-free and Kosher-certified, and it carries more protein and fiber than plain white rice. It suits keto, low-carb and gluten-free eaters who miss rice dishes, though konjac has a chewier, springier texture than real rice and needs thorough rinsing. Against shirataki noodles it is a dry pantry staple rather than a wet-pack product, but it will not fool anyone expecting the taste of rice.
