Konjac tofu and konjac shreds are like two completely unrelated things. Not only do they have unrelated shapes, but they also don’t taste like the same family. Konjac shreds are more common in hot pot and oden. Like other ingredients, they can be eaten after being boiled. The following are mainly recommended ways to eat konjac tofu.
To say that konjac tofu is really unattractive, it is gray, with a purple tint, and there are some weird black spots dotted in it, and the texture is also soft. It is slippery and extremely difficult to taste. No matter how heavy the condiments are, it still maintains its bland taste. However, if you don’t like it, if you mix it properly, konjac tofu can also be transformed into a gorgeous one!
First of all, among my favorite flavors, hot and sour goes best with konjac tofu. Slice the konjac into thin slices, prepare a small bowl of pickled peppers and pickled pepper water, cut them slightly, and prepare sauerkraut. Some. Heat the pan with cold oil, sauté the onions, ginger and garlic, add a little bean paste, then stir-fry the pickled peppers and sauerkraut. After the aroma is released, add the konjac tofu, mix well, turn to low heat and stir for a while, then add the original pickled pepper water. Pour it into a small bowl, turn to high heat and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to reduce the juice. At this time, the sour flavor is strongest and the taste is the most refreshing. This is the most recommended way to eat it.
Secondly, the roasted duck with konjac is also amazing. These two seemingly incompatible ingredients can actually collide and create incredible sparks. You will only know if you try it! The method is actually simple, just wash the duck, cut it into pieces, add cooking wine and onion and ginger, knead and marinate for a while to remove the smell, then heat up a large oil pan, add dried chili peppers and green chili peppers to sauté until fragrant, add sauce, and add duck pieces. , stir-fry slowly to release the water, then stir-fry the water vapor dry, then cook with cooking wine to remove the smell, add seasonings to taste, the duck is almost flavorful, add konjac tofu, stir-fry evenly, add a little stock, cover the pot and simmer until the duck meat is cooked. Open the pot and sprinkle some garlic sprouts and you can eat it. It tastes very good.
If you find the above two methods troublesome, then simply eat them cold: cut the konjac tofu into shreds, blanch it (or not), and then add your favorite ingredients like other cold dishes. , add additional millet chili and lemon juice, soak for a while, and you will have unexpected delicious effects~
