A dish like this was available in the readymade food section of the supermarket. I referred to the combination of ingredients to make my own version. The original may taste different though.

By scoring the surface of the konnyaku on both sides in Step 1 and stir frying it properly in Step 5, the flavors will seep into the konnyaku better. For 4 to 5 servings. Recipe by Junchan

Steps

1

Cut the konnyaku in half horizontally. Score both sides diagonally in small increments. Cut into easy to eat pieces.
2

Massage the konnyaku with salt (extra), and boil for 5 minutes to get rid of the odor.
3

Pour some boiling water over the atsuage to get rid of the surface oil. Cut into 1 cm plus dice.
4

Take the stem end and calyx off the shishito peppers. If they peppers are big cut them in half lengthwise. Mix the flavoring ingredients together.
5

Heat up a frying pan, add the sesame oil and stir fry the konnyaku. Make sure to cook both sides well.
6

Add the atsuage and continue stir-frying. Add the shishito peppers and stir-fry briefly.
7

Add the flavoring ingredients, and stir-simmer while shaking the pan.
8

When there is no moisture left in the pan, turn off the heat. Transfer to serving plates and it's done. It will taste better if you let it rest for a while before eating.
