Konjac pepper

It is the season when delicious ingredients come from the sea, from the mountains, and from the village.

Sake also comes in the early spring and “Hiya-oroshi” when the new spring liquor matures and is ready to drink.

And as if waiting for this season, the appetite that declined during the summer is now in full bloom!

However, if I eat too much, I will be amazed at the value on the scale the next day.

Therefore, konjac is a popular diet for the food you want to recommend. Nowadays there are many types of konjac and it can be used for various dishes.

This time, we will introduce a konjac recipe that can be used as a snack for preventing or resetting weight gain.

A treasure trove of dietary fiber, Konjac

Oden

As well as oden, konjac was always in the boiled food made by my mom. It was twisted or torn, and was used in various ways by the family.

Konjac has been active as a stomach cleaning agent because it is difficult to digest, but now it is also attracting attention as a “diet food” and “health food” that makes the stomach swell with low calories.

In particularA plant fiber called “konjac mannan” improves cholesterol gut flora and lowers the risk of intestinal diseases, lowering cholesterolIt is said that there is.

In addition, the ingredients contained in konjacImprovement of skin troubleThere is also research that helps.

How many calories in konjac are useful for dieting?

Konjac97% is made of moisture. So, the calorie per 100g is only 7kcal.

Use konjac for steak and shirataki instead of pasta to reduce calories.

Besides, konjac can be seasoned in any way, so it can be arranged in a wide range of Japanese sake snacks.

Before making konjac snacks, I want to master “How to prepare konjac”

A woman who comes up with an easy preparation method for konjac

Konjac has a peculiar odor, so it is usually necessary to “prepar” and prepare for cooking.

But when you boil it, that is, when you heat it,

  • Konjac hardens
  • Loss of elasticity
  • Taste is hard to penetrate

It ’s not so good for Konjac.

You may want to be careful especially when you want to use it instead of pasta, raw noodles or Chinese noodles.

Recent konjac is made with konjac flour that has been refined from konnyaku rice cake, and since it has already been removed from the process in the manufacturing process, it can be eaten deliciously without having to boil it. The

Still, for those who want to remove the accumulators, we will introduce a simpler and quicker preparation method without affecting the texture.

Just squeeze sugar and wait 3 minutes before making konjac snacks

Ordinarily, boil in boiling water or dry in a frying pan. Isn't it quite cumbersome?

Such timeLet's swallow the sugar.

By squeezing sugar and placing it for 2 to 3, konjac water is discharged due to osmotic pressure. Since there is a gap in the place where there was moisture, the taste will be soaked easily.

The amount of sugar is about 100g compared to konjac 5g

.

After that, if you throw out the water and season it and put it in the refrigerator, it will taste well.

If you want to eat konnyaku with a warm texture, be careful not to boil it..
It seems to me that konjac tastes the more you boil it.

It looks just like Japanese sauce yakisoba, but when you eat it, it tastes like a tomato, and its sweet and spicy taste becomes a habit.

Easy to make.

Simply heat shrimp and chicken in a frying pan, add drained mannan noodles, enclosed vegetables such as megoren spice and onion, and fry.

I wonder if there is a time in your house that “there is konjac and vegetables in the refrigerator”. Konnyaku noodles can be easily handmade at such times. All you need is a megoren sauce, which is also a complete refrigerator.

  • Tomato ketchup: tablespoon 3
  • Oyster sauce: tablespoon 2
  • Sugar: teaspoon 2
  • Nampula, soy sauce, chicken glass scoop granule, etc.

Please mix and use the above. Adding chopped garlic, coriander, pepper etc. when fried will make it a good snack for pure rice sake.
