So today I went on a trip to China town and took the opportunity to raid the Japanese shop for Shirataki noodles (which you will see in a later post), and also picked up some Konjac, which comes in a block and is sealed in with some slightly suspect smelling water and I had no idea what to do with it. After a quick bit of Googling I found that Konjac is what Shirataki noodles are made from, is nearly entirely fiber and comes in a block to be used for stew, lasagne, and side dishes. It has no flavour of it's own and will take on the flavour of what you cook with, and what I chose to cook with was chorizo. Since I have got a bit sick of boiled broccoli, it served as my vegetable with dinner.
Ingredients
60g Shirataki Yam cake (make sure you thoroughly rinse in water before doing anything)
10 Chorizo slices
1tsp Olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
A sprinkling of cheddar cheese
Firstly tear up the yam cake don't cut, tearing it enables the pieces to soak up all the lovely flavour and season with the salt and pepper.
Cut up the chorizo slices.
Heat the olive oil in a frying pan and as it starts to bubble throw in the yam.
Fry the pieces on their own for 1 minute before adding the chorizo.
Fry the chorizo and yam together until the chorizo goes nice and crisp.
Grate a small amount of cheddar over the top.

Pro tip- to reduce the calories fry the chorizo lightly first and then add the yam, removes the need for oil.
