My brother has been doing eating low-carb far longer than I have and frequently calls me, excited, with new recipes he's created. This one was the one about which he has been the proudest, and included a bit of a chemistry lesson :) It requires a mason jar and a microwave, and provides for easy clean up! I enjoyed mine over some Trader Joe's parsnip chips (also my brother's idea!)

Ingredients:
200 g water
250 g chopped or shredded cheese of your choice (I mixed cheddar and pepper jack)
8 g sodium citrate (optional)
2 g sodium hexametaphosphate (optional)
2 tbsp konjac powder/flour

Directions:
Microwave water in a jar for approximately 2 minutes. Stir in the sodium citrate and sodium hexametaphosphate. Next, place the cheese in the water. Microwave in 45 seconds twice, stirring in between. Add the konjac flour. Microwave in 30-40 second increments, stirring in between and keeping an eye on the jar to ensure that the cheese does not bubble over. Pour over your favorite food :)

If you only want to buy one of the three weird ingredients, I definitely recommend the konjac powder. The other too, while helpful in thickening, aren't quite as necessary. Konjac powder has 0 net carbs, so the nutritional information is based on the cheese you use.
