Spicy Konjac Stir-fry
This is a simple, healthy, and budget-friendly side dish. By scoring the konjac and tearing it by hand, the flavors absorb much better. The rich aroma of garlic combined with the spicy kick of chili makes it addictive—perfect for bento boxes or as a snack to accompany drinks. Chef's tips: (1) 💡 Tearing the konjac by hand creates an irregular surface, which allows the flavors to absorb much more effectively than if it were cut with a knife. (2) 🔥 The key to a rich flavor without it turning watery is to sauté the konjac thoroughly for 5 minutes to evaporate the moisture. (3) ⚠️ Turning off the heat before adding the seasonings prevents the garlic and sauce from sticking to the pan and burning.
