Konnyaku dengaku served on a plate.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 block Konnyaku, about 250g
For the Miso Glaze
  • 2 Tbsp Miso Paste
  • 2 Tbsp Sugar
  • 2 Tbsp Sake
  • 2 Tbsp Mirin

Instructions
 

  1. Prepare the Konnyaku: Make lattice-like cuts on the surface of the konnyaku block, then cut it into six pieces. Thread them onto skewers.
  2. Boil the Konnyaku: Bring a pot of water to a boil, add the konnyaku, and boil for 2 minutes. Drain the konnyaku and pat it dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  3. Make the Miso Glaze: Combine the miso paste, sugar, mirin, and sake in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Serve: Transfer the konnyaku to a serving plate and pour the miso glaze over them.

Notes

  • Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When ready to eat, reheat in the microwave until warm.
  • Boiling konnyaku helps to remove any residual odor, firm up the texture, and allow the flavor to be easily absorbed.
  • If you have leftover miso glaze, it makes a delicious topping for steamed vegetables, grilled eggplant, or drizzled over shiratama dango (sweet rice dumplings)!
