Japanese recipe:Simmered konjac with sweet miso sauce

I love everything about Konjac(konnyaku) .

First of all,  the taste. Konjac can change the taste by how you cook. One of  the common dishes that konjac is necessary is Oden. I love the taste of Konjac soaked in oden broth.

Secondary, the texture. The texture of konjac is like very firm Jelly. It's just fun to chew. Konjac jelly, for example, has a great texture and I always feel something is missing when I eat normal jelly. 

Finally, the nutrition factor. Konjac contains lots of fiber and is extremely low in calorie. Since it's filling but yet healthy, Konjac is popular for diet food too.

I would like to introduce this Konjac dish today.

Simmered Konjac with sweet miso sauce

I cooked Konjac with miso and sweet rice wine.

The nutty miso sauce goes well with Konjac very well.
