From what I have read on this forum YES it is fine although a lot of people do not like it.

I think if it's not on the Induction list you should hold off for a while. No doubt you could keep it in a 20carb allowance - but just staying under 20 carbs isn't really Induction.

It wasn't available outside Asia when Atkins wrote his book. Shirataki is simply a vegetable in noodle form (similar to zucchini 'noodles') - extremely low carb and filled with good fiber. It also has properties that help burn stored body fat.

So, if you like it - enjoy a Guilt-Free dish, on induction or off! :)
