Shirataki mushrooms that are slippery and smooth, okra that becomes sticky when chewed, crunchy kimchi, and gooey natto (fermented soybeans). The unique ingredients work together to create a rich texture and flavor. The smell of shirataki mushrooms disappears when they are pre-cooked, and instead, the savory richness of soy sauce and sesame seeds is added. The spiciness of kimchi lingers in the mouth.


If you do not have Korean seaweed at home, you can omit it, but if you have it, the aroma of the sea and the saltiness will make the dish even more flavorful. You can use it as a topping right from the start, or add it later to accentuate the flavor. If you prefer, you can use canned tuna or mackerel for a more satisfying meal.


The shirataki mushroom base makes this dish a good choice for a late night meal when you want to eat well. It is a dish that will fill both your stomach and your heart.
