Awhile back I posted about using konnyaku in my cooking...here.
In that post, I mentioned that by freezing konnyaku, it is supposed to have the texture of meat.
Well, I tried freezing some.
Doesn't it look like meatballs?!
Well, I cooked it in the shogayaki sauce I posted about recently.
NOTES: Funky texture...like eating gristle...maybe if you use sliced konnyaku it would be more "meat-like".
It was an interesting experiment though.
Might give frozen sliced konnyaku a try...maybe.
I got excited by your headline, thinking that there might be a way to improve konnyaku, I'm sorry to learn that the freezer wasn't a magical solution. :(
ReplyDeleteSo more like "suji" Kat?
ReplyDeletesliced thin maybe? they do pass for meatballs though!
ReplyDeleteNice try!
ReplyDeleteif I find some bravery or if I find the konnyaku that is already frozen, I may try again LJ!
ReplyDeletekind of like suji Kirk, but rubbery...hard to describe :( sorry!
I just may have to try this experiment again Rowena...
Thanks Jalna :)
Take care everyone!
