Tofu and eggplant are usually skewered and grilled (over charcoal, in the frying pan, or the oven), but konnyaku and daikon are boiled before a thick coating of sweet miso is slathered on top. The name dengaku comes from dengaku boshi (田楽法師). Konnyaku is as close to zero-calorie food you'll find—the majority of the gelatinous block is water, solidified with the addition of pulverized konnyaku powder and sometimes seaweed powder.

I adapted the recipe for Spicy Eggplant from "Japanese Cooking: A Simple Art" and the result was delicious. If you serve it in a nice bowl (as you should with any Japanese food), the result will be impressive even though it's quite… With meat, fishcake, tofu, daikon, boiled eggs, and konnyaku simmered in dashi stock, it will warm you up from the inside out. If this sounds familiar, that's because this preparation still exists, and is now known as Dengaku (as in Eggplant Dengaku). The "den" in Dengaku is the same "den" in Oden.
