How'd you like the konnyaku? Similar to natto most non Japanese people do not like them. It's like eating rubber. I personally like it and it also has great health benefits.
It soaks up the flavour of whatever it’s cooked with pretty well but yeah, the texture takes some getting used to. I’m a fan though. There’s a great stew for winter in a Japanese cookbook I have with pork belly, konnyaku, daikon and carrots (and maybe potato IIRC) cooked for hours in soy sauce, sake and sugar. So damn good.
I love the konnyaku noodles that are sometimes included in the konbini gyuudon that I used to eat in college in Japan. I know they were filler to use less beef, but I enjoyed it just the same.

Damn you got me hungry!!! Lol
Yeah I love the texture! To me it’s very satisfying, especially when it soaks up delicious liquid.

Oh yea. The konnyakyu noodles for some reason goes perfect with gyudon!!
