エリックは弾力の強いゼリーのような食感を「気持ち悪い」と言います。コンクリートみたいな灰色が、美味しそうに見えないのも分かります。でも、おでんにはこれがないと…！原料はサトイモ科の植物。非常に低カロリーで、食物繊維が豊富な食材です。
Japanese food 10 –Konnyaku (Konjac)
Eric says “gross” about its firm, jelly-like texture. I understand that the concrete-like grey color does not look attractive, either. But I cannot miss it in Oden…! Konnyaku is made of an araceous plant (a kind of potato); it is very low in calories and rich in dietary fiber.
Oden （おでん）: It is a traditional Japanese stew made with fish/kelp bouillon. A variety of ingredients can be added; such as konnyaku, daikon radish, chikuwa fish-sausage and boiled eggs.
