I figured pork and lotus root would go well together, and made this.

Steps

1

Cut the pork into 3~5cm pieces. Thinly slice the konnyaku, and then thinly slice it again from the edges.
2

Peel the skin from the lotus root, thinly slice, and briefly soak in water. Cut the lotus root into 1/2 or 1/4 if it's too thick.
3

Add water and the lotus root to a small pot, and turn on the heat. After bringing it to a boil, add the konnyaku, and boil together.
4

Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan or pot, and sauté the pork. Add the lotus root and konnyaku after the meat has cooked through, and sauté.
5

Add soy sauce, mirin, sake, and sugar, and simmer.
6

It's convenient to use noodle konnyaku instead cutting normal konnyaku. I learnt this tip from user "Miwaboshi".
