Drain the excess water from the package of konnyaku and rinse it under running water. Cut into 7-8mm thick slices and cut a slit inside of each slice, lengthwise. Pull one end of the slice through the slit, twisting it into the tazuna shape. Do the same for the rest of the slices.
Place the konnyaku twists on a plate and cook in the microwave for 2 minutes. This helps remove moisture, which will allow them to absorb more broth, as well as better retain their tazuna shape.
Put the konnyaku twists in a pot and heat over high to further remove the moisture, flipping the twists after a minute or two.
Add the simmering ingredients and cook over medium heat until almost all the liquid has evaporated, about 15-20 minutes. Serve and enjoy 🙂
