I used to be able to buy pre-cooked packages of lotus root and beans, so I tried to re-create that flavor.

When frying the shirataki, be sure to simmer away all the liquid, and be sure to simmer thoroughly after stir-frying.
Feel free to adjust the seasonings to taste, as well as the amount of main ingredients.
You can also use carrots, burdock root, or hijiki seaweed, to make a total of 300g. Recipe by Jikana

Steps

1

Peel the skin off the lotus root and cut into quarters, then slice thinly and soak in vinegar diluted with water. Measure out the amount of mixed beans. Work salt into the shirataki with your hands and then rinse with water.
2

Combine all of the ☆ ingredients in a bowl. Remove the seeds from the red chili pepper and cut into thirds.
3

Put the cut shirataki into a frying pan and dry roast to remove all moisture (you should be able to hear a crackling sound). Add vegetable oil, and once evenly heated, add the chili pepper.
4

Stir-fry the lotus root and mixed beans, and once the lotus root becomes translucent, stir in half of the combined ☆ ingredients, and when evenly mixed add the rest. Finally, add sesame seeds and the chirimen-jako and simmer. Then, it's ready to serve.

By just adding 1 teaspoon of gochujang (Korean hot pepper paste), the spice turns it into a more refined dish for adults, and you'll have no problems working up an appetite.
