Was eating traditional konjac rice difficult for you?

Konjac rice instead of rice is different

All the comfort of a bowl of rice, at just 75 kcal. Hanchaewon's konjac grain rice blends tiny konjac-seaweed beads with oats and brown rice, so it smells, looks and tastes like freshly cooked rice, without the strong smell or slippery texture of ordinary konjac rice. Each pouch is a generous 110 g and ready in about a minute.

Why you'll love it

• No konjac smell: patented konjac-seaweed beads cut out the odor konjac rice is known for.
• Tastes like real rice: glossy, soft and slightly sticky, with a nutty, wholesome grain flavor.
• Light but filling: 75 kcal, 0 g sugar and no white rice. The beads are rich in fiber and moisture, so a bowl keeps you satisfied.
• Keeps its texture: the beads hold their shape and bounce even after cooking, and don't go mushy or clump together.
• Pantry-friendly: sterilized in a retort pouch, so it keeps at room temperature for up to a year.

How to heat

Tear the pouch open slightly and microwave for about 1 minute. Choose your texture: 40 seconds for firm, 60 seconds for moist, or 90 seconds for soft. Careful, the pouch will be hot.

Ways to enjoy it: as everyday steamed rice, in a light rice soup (gukbap), tossed through a salad straight from the pouch, or in fried rice and risotto, where the beads keep a pleasant bite.
