This is a personal favourite. Once you have this recipe in your head, it will easily stay in your recipe vocabulary for a few months. You prepare it in 10 minutes, and a lunch or dinner recipe doesn't get much simpler than this. pak choi is a vegetable that is quick to prepare, and konjac rice doesn't need more than 2 minutes either. Oh, and another big bonus in this recipe: konjac rice is low-calorie. Just 10 kcal pp. The combination of peanut butter, sesame oil and pak choi (low-carb vegetables) also makes this konjac recipe equally suitable if you eat according to the keto diet. If you don't, then you're just in luck with a recipe that is low in carbs and high in good fats and proteins.
