    Wow! This looks simple and great. But when you listed soya sauce is that dark soya sauce or light soya sauce?

    • Anita Anita says:

      I usually use Japanese dark soy sauce for this :)

  • Michelle Michelle says:

    Hi Anita, Why do we need Konnyaku for this recipe and Takikomi Gohan? Isn't it like transparent jelly? Tks, Michelle

    • Anita Anita says:

      Actually, we don't. Or more precisely, you can throw in any vegetable (which of course include any mushroom) of your choice, and konnyaku is just one of such choices. And I might be wrong, but maybe you are confusing dessert konnyaku made of jelly powder vs. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konjac" title="Konjac" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Japanese konnyaku</a> made from yam starch basically. The recipe uses the later one. Cheers!
