“Nimono” is the Japanese word for food that is boiled and seasoned. The taste is very mild and the aroma reminds me of the way my childhood home used to smell when I got home from school. Enjoy!

Konnyaku is elephant ear yam. You can get it in cake form or noodles. It is also called shirataki.

The reason for boiling the konnyaku is to remove the harsh taste and any unpleasant odors. However, if you want to use potatoes instead, boil them with the daikon.

Thankyou, i have been looking for this recipe for a few months now, after my friend made it whilst i was at her house! it is slightly different but seems perfect! Oh, yeah, with konnyaku, if i substitute it with potatoes, do i still boil it for only 3 minutes???
