Steak Ingredients
  • 1 block Konjac Soak in vinegar water for a less pungent scent if preferred.
  • 1/4 cup Unagi Sushi Sauce Consider using teriyaki sauce if unavailable.
Sweetness
  • 1 tbsp Honey or Brown Rice Syrup Swap in agave syrup for a vegan alternative.
Heat and Color
  • 1 cup Asian Peppers (e.g., Shishito) Bell peppers work well for a gentler taste.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Wash the konjac block thoroughly under cold water. Slice it into even pieces about ½ to ¾ inch thick.
  2. Score diagonal cuts in a crisscross pattern on one side of each konjac slice.
  3. In a wok, warm the unagi sauce over medium heat for about 1-2 minutes. Mix in honey or brown rice syrup.
  4. Place scored side down into the simmering sauce. Cook for about 5 minutes, spooning sauce over the steaks.
  5. Turn the konjac steaks to the unscored side. Add Asian peppers and simmer for another 5-10 minutes.
  6. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Serve hot, possibly with steamed rice or a salad.
