Konnyaku is cheap! I always buy it...

It is sweet and spicy, so it goes well together with rice and sake . It gets really spicy if you add in a whole chili pepper, half a pepper might suffice. You can also omit the red pepper and use ichimi or shichimi chili powder instead .
The sesame will stick to the konnyaku when cooking if there is water remaining, so it is a good idea to squeeze out the water with a paper towel. Recipe by Iku..

Steps

1

Clean the konnyaku by rubbing with salt. Make shallow cuts into once side in a lattice pattern, and cut into dice-sized slices. Or, rip it up into bite-sized pieces with your fingers.
2

Boil some water, and then boil the konnyaku to remove the smell. You can skip this step if the smell doesn't bother you. Heat up sesame oil in a small saucepan, and sauté the deseeded finely ripped-up chili pepper.
3

Add in a bit of water (4-5 tablespoons) and ☆, and boil down over a medium-strong heat until most of the broth has evaporated.
4

Top it with sesame and you are done .
