Konjac flour: Producers make this by grinding down dry konjac corms to make flour. People can then use this to make noodles. Eat with a variety of toppings, like hiyashi-chuka (cold noodles topped with a variety of ingredients). Cook from cold water:Konnyakuloses more moisture with this method. Hence, the texture will be firmer and chewier. Once boiling, cook for 2-3 minutes and drain.Remove any scum that appears on the surface then place a drop lid (otoshibuta) or an aluminium foil sheet with a hole on top of the ingredients. Leave it to simmer for around 15 minutes.
