Gyusuji Nikomi is a Japanese dish made with beef tendons and konnyaku stewed for a long time until it is very tender and melts in your mouth. It’s such an interesting dish in fact it’s quite a unique stew compared to all other stews that I tried, the flavour profile is different unlike the usual which is based on tomato, red wine, drippings/gravy, mushroom, cream or even soy sauce this one is based on miso. At the first bite you will already know its Japanese, the dashi and miso are strong hints of its origin.
