Ingredients

Main Ingredients (2 servings)

  • Enoki Mushrooms 100g
  • Block Konjac Jelly 200g
  • Ground Chicken 100g
  • Toasted Sesame Seeds (to taste)
  • Chopped Scallions (to taste)
  • Ichimi Togarashi (Japanese Chili Powder) (to taste)

Seasonings

  • Salt for pre-treatment (a pinch)
  • Sugar for pre-treatment (a pinch)
  • Sesame Oil 2 tsp
  • [A] Mirin (Sweet Rice Wine) 2 tbsp
  • [A] Soy Sauce 2 tbsp
  • [A] Sugar 1 tbsp
  • [A] Dashi Powder 1/2 tsp
  • [A] Grated Garlic 1 tsp
  • [A] Grated Ginger 1 tsp

Steps

  1. Trim the **hard ends** of the enoki mushrooms and finely chop them into **1cm pieces**.
  2. Score the block konjac jelly with a **diamond pattern every 5mm**.
  3. Use a spoon to tear the scored konjac jelly into bite-sized pieces. **(Key Tip!)** Tearing with a spoon helps it absorb flavors better.
  4. Rub the torn konjac jelly with **a pinch of salt for pre-treatment** and **a pinch of sugar for pre-treatment**. **(Key Tip!)** Using sugar effectively removes the konjac's odor.
  5. Rinse the konjac jelly briefly with water after rubbing with salt and sugar.
  6. Place the konjac jelly in a frying pan and dry-fry without oil (use a thin layer of oil if it sticks).
  7. Once the moisture from the konjac jelly has evaporated and it starts to sizzle, the odor removal is complete. **(Key Tip!)** This is an easy way to remove odor without boiling, and it helps the flavors to soak in better when seasonings are added.
  8. To the same pan after the odor removal, add **2 tsp of sesame oil** and **100g of ground chicken**, and stir-fry until the chicken changes color.
  9. Once the ground chicken has changed color, add the chopped **100g of enoki mushrooms** and stir-fry until the enoki mushrooms are softened.
  10. When the enoki mushrooms have softened, add all the seasonings from [A] (**Mirin 2 tbsp**, **Soy Sauce 2 tbsp**, **Sugar 1 tbsp**, **Dashi Powder 1/2 tsp**, **Grated Garlic 1 tsp**, **Grated Ginger 1 tsp**) and mix well.
  11. After adding the seasonings, cook over medium to medium-high heat until the moisture has evaporated and the mixture has thickened. **(Key Tip!)** Evaporating the moisture and thickening the sauce ensures that the ingredients are well-coated with flavor.
  12. Once the moisture has evaporated from the entire mixture, it's done. Transfer to a serving dish.
  13. Garnish with **toasted sesame seeds**, **chopped scallions**, and optionally sprinkle with **Ichimi Togarashi**.
