Directions

  1. Slice a crisscross pattern into both sides of the konnyaku block, then cut into 2 cm (0.8 in.) cubes.

Cooking Basics

Yam cake - parboiling

If you quickly place the yam cake into boiling water (parboil) the distinct odor of the yam cake will be removed, flavor and seasonings will be soaked up easier, and the rubbery texture will be refreshed. The appropriate boiling time is for 2 to 3 minutes in water that is at a rolling boil. Avoid over-boiling as this will result in hard yam cake.
