In addition to buying Konjac foods in the super market or online, you can them make them yourself. You can easily prepare Konjac foods at home using the following simple recipe:
Ingredients

1 tablespoon of glucomannan (contains 6 grams of soluble fiber.)
1/8 teaspoon of pickling lime, a food grade calcium hydroxide.

Procedure:
Pour 2 cups of cold water into a pot. Stir in a 1/8 teaspoon of pickling lime. Then, add 1 tablespoon of Konjac Glucomannan powder, stirring continuously to a boil. Boil the mixture for about 3 minutes. Remove from heat. A thermally stable (non-reversible) gel is formed once the mixture cools down. Cut gel into small pieces, dip in water or steam about 3-5 minutes and then cook in the way you like.

Hi,

I was fascinated with the idea of making low carb noodles and ordered the glucomannan power myself. I Received it a couple of days ago and I tried the recipe you listed along with one that said to dissolve the lime in 5 tablespoons of water before adding to the boiling water, with a total boil time of 8 minutes. Both batches came out lumpy, like little tiny dumplings. I'm thinking that both recipes are suggesting too long a cook time and I'm going to try again, taking it off the stove before it starts to break down into lumps.

Anyone else had success with making these noodles themselves? From what I've seen on other forums, these noodles are theoretically easy to make but in realty, nobody has had much success.

Check out Khymos.org for recipes for a lot of different kinds of thickeners,including konjac flour.
At first look , it seems 2 cups water + 1 tbsp konjac flour + 1/8 to 1/4 tsp pickling lime is right but the water must boil for 3 minutes after the konjac is added and before the lime is added (already dissolved in a small amount of water). After adding the lime, continue to boil for 5 more minutes, then remove from heat. Stir continuously the entire 8 minutes.

I don't have either the flour or the lime to try this. Check out the web site for many more recipes for thickeners of all kinds. Some of them look really yummy.

I tried that recipe. That recipe is also on Konjacfoods.com (where I bought my konjac powder), along with two other different recipes for making the noodles, I tried them all. You end up with a very thick glob that breaks down into lots of little, tiny dumpling things. They are edible, but no way you can slice them into noodles! I'll look at Khymos for recipes.
