Shiritake noodle block????

Maagrie

I have been cooking with shiritaki noodle for a few weeks now with much success. Yesterday I came across a block of the noodle substance and thought " what the hey, I'll try it". After getting it home I realized that I'm a bit stuck as to what to do with it. I could slice it up and use it like lasagna noodles, but would like a few different options The block is about 3"x5"x3/3". Has anyone ever used this in a recipe? Or, does anyone have any ideas of what I can do with it?? I'm up for experimenting!

I personally don't care for it (because of the texture), but my mom would slice and stew it with beef and Japanese root vegetables in dashi, soy sauce, mirin, and sugar. Search for recipes under "konnyaku" (which is what the block is called - shirataki is the name for the noodles made from it) and you'll find some traditional Japanese recipes for it.
