Look up Miracle Noodle, they sell konjac based noodles, pasta, rice, etc. All gluten free and very low carb having only a few grams. They even make Meals Ready to Eat, in microwaveable pouches for instant pasta and noodle dishes you can just cook in the microwave.

Fixing the product is a bit different, you have to rinse, cook, rinse again then dry to get rid of the initial flavor/smell. Then incorporate it into your favorite dish. I even have used the rice for a oatmeal replacement stewing it in with nut flours and butters for keto oatmeal complete with that consistency.

I used to look forward every year to a family friends holiday cookies, I had to start making them with a almond flour blend a few years ago, not quite that soft pastry texture but more of a coffee dipping sugar cookie, it works and started my new passion of making them every time around Christmas.
