Konnyaku steak served on a plate.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 block Konnyaku, about 250g
  • 1 Tbsp Oil
  • ½ Tbsp Butter
  • 1 clove Garlic, crushed
  • Scallions, chopped, as needed
For the Sauce
  • 1 Tbsp Sake
  • 1 Tbsp Mirin
  • 1 Tbsp Soy Sauce

Instructions
 

  1. Prepare the Konnyaku: Make lattice-like cuts on the surface of the konnyaku block, then slice it.
  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. Cook the Konnyaku: Heat oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the konnyaku slices to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are slightly golden brown.
  4. Add Butter and Garlic: Add butter and crushed garlic to the pan. Sauté for a couple of minutes to allow the konnyaku slices to absorb the flavors of butter and garlic.
  5. Add the Sauce: Add sake, mirin, and soy sauce to the pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and coats the konnyaku slices, about a couple of minutes.
  6. Serve: Transfer the cooked konnyaku slices to a serving plate. Top generously with chopped scallions.

Notes

  • Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. 
  • Making shallow cuts on the konnyaku helps the sauce soak in better and gives the steaks a tastier flavor.
  • Boiling konnyaku helps to remove any residual odor and firms up the texture. It also allows the flavor to be easily absorbed.
