Konjac Kung Pao
By MireyaGlover
Although Gong Bao dishes are delicious, the amount of oil used cannot be underestimated. However, since my parents both like this, I, who is in charge of dinner, have to try my best to satisfy them. So in order to help my mother control her weight, I changed the ingredients, gave up chicken and shrimp, and switched to low-calorie konjac, so that I could rest assured that my parents could enjoy it.

Steps for Konjac Kung Pao

1
Prepare the ingredients, wash the yams, and soak the fungus in cold water.
2
Rinse the konjac with running water and soak it in boiling water to remove the alkali taste
3
Cut the dry red pepper into sections, dice the green onion, ginger and garlic
4
Peel the yams, cut them into hob pieces, and soak them in water for later use (the cut yams will easily oxidize and discolor when directly served on a plate)
5
For dressing, adjust the amount of seasoning according to the amount of ingredients, but note that the ratio of vinegar, sugar and salt is 4:2:1. Add appropriate amount of rice flour, add a small amount of cooking wine, add a small amount of water to fully dissolve the sugar. (In fact, I added water because I had poor cooking skills and was never enough to turn it in time, so I added water in order to have more time to stir it evenly. Those skilled can do this step freely)
6
Drain the water from the yam and konjac. Pour oil into the pan, add Pi County watercress and dry red pepper and saute until fragrant
7
Pour in the yams and stir-fry slightly
8
Add fungus
9
Add onions, ginger and minced garlic
10
Stir fry until the yam is broken, add konjac and stir-fry for a while
11
Pour in the mixed juice, stir quickly until the juice is thick, remove from the pan and serve on a plate
