Instructions to make My Mom's Simmered Chicken and Konnyaku:
  1. Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces, parboil the konnyaku and cut it with a spoon, and roughly chop the carrot into chunks.
  2. Pour a bit of sesame oil into the pan, stir-fry the chicken, and once it changes color add the vegetables and konnyaku and stir-fry together.
  3. Add the dashi stock, the ★-marked ingredients, and the soy beans, set to low heat and simmer until the sauce is reduced to 1/3 of its original volume.
  4. Add the soy sauce, place on small drop-lid that sits right on top of the food (otoshibuta) on and simmer for 10 minutes.

I believe soy beans are very bitter. Do I need to do anything to 'de-bitter' them? We simmer vegetables and chicken (leave it out if you are vegetarian or vegan) in a savory broth until it's all tender and…SO DELICIOUS! Rinse the konnyaku, and score both sides. Using a spoon, cut off bite-size pieces.
