I dont really know if they would work as toppoki, but they should absorb or get flavored by the sauce if you use them as replacement for the mochi. Now if you mean to use the konjac noodles as a rice/noodle replacement, well you would need to make the recipe saucier to let the noodles get not only coated with it, but to try and get the sauce and flavor cooked into it. It could work but I never tried. Normally I use konjac noodles or blocks in other recipes like sukiyaki or oden, where I can cook the crap out of it to let it soak in the flavors, and I do mean soak in, sometimes I cook it, let it cook and then reheat and boil it again to let the seasonings sink in.
Well I've got good news and bad news for you.Do anyone here has a recipe for flour tortillas that use vegetable oil and bread flour? I live in Japan and it is next to impossible to find lard or shortening, butter is pretty expensive and I am making my own tortillas because I want to save money instead of going to costco, a two hours trip each way to buy the ones that I like alongside other stuff, it is just not worth making the trip especially as I am between jobs right now. Finding AP flour is also pretty hard and I tend to buy what I believe to be bread flour since I more often than no make breads and pizza instead of cakes and cookies, so I am not sure if this affects the end result.
But my last attempt at making them had them coming out thicker and not as soft and pliable as I would like and see in videos, I am making a different recipe now that doesn't use baking powder like in the previous one and a few others that I researched use, but I ended using much more flour than the recipe asked and my past record with unleavened/unyeasted breads of any kind has then usually turning stiff and a touch dry.

Good news? You don't need all purpose flour. In fact, bread flour is actually what it sounds like and is indeed better for making bread type products due to the higher protein content. The only thing that might be an issue is if it isn't finely ground enough. You also don't need lard, shortening, butter, or actually even oil if you don't want to use it. Definitely not baking powder either. Just flour and hot water will be sufficient.
Bad news? You only need flour and hot water because there really isn't much of a recipe here. It's just making a high hydration dough that isn't too sticky (around 70-75% is probably good) then working it enough to develop the gluten properly, letting it rest, rolling it out thin, and cooking on a hot skillet till it puffs up and gets brown spots.
I'm not all that experienced with this if I'm honest, but what you're saying about your last attempt sounds like your dough was too dry and probably could have used a bit more kneading and a rest before rolling. That's my best guess anyway.
Compare roti/chapati from India. It's basically the same thing as wheat tortillas.
I don't know the recipe or how make it, but I believe that you can make amazake with it.
Been trying to make parathas and man, but they've been kicking my ass. They're harder than both tortillas and rotis, that's for sure.

Not entirely sure, but that issue could be lack of hydration or oil in the dough. The end result is that the final project gets too dry too quickly. Either that or you are cooking them for too long in low temperatures. Your recipe uses regular butter or ghee/clarified butter? Because regular butter does contain some water in it as well.Update, paratha failed successfully. Got the flaky layers and shape down, fucked up the texture. They're a bit too crispy, though frying them in a thin coating of oil or ghee does seem to make them less...cracker-esque.
Ghee, and a simple water+whole wheat flour dough. My aunt suggested it might be because of how much flour I dust it with, but if I use any less it sticks to the counter so hard I've had to basically start all over again.Not entirely sure, but that issue could be lack of hydration or oil in the dough.

Maybe your ratio of water is wrong, a common average of water to flour is around 40 to 60% of the weight of the flour. You might need to weight the ingredients but that makes easier to find what is wrong and adjust as well making it well every time. Maybe you should also work the dough some more and give it time to hydrate/absorb the water. Sometimes the dough is stick before the flour properly sucks up the water, then with proper kneading the dough stops sticking.Ghee, and a simple water+whole wheat flour dough.

This is the first time I have ever seen the claim that mineral content of water affects cooking. I mean it clearly does have effects on some things - soap lather, scale buildup, pipe corrosion - but cooking? Maybe a small difference in quantity of chemical leavening agents needed? Not sure if anyone has tried to measure it.Important issue when testing recipes, Water is not water and flour is not flour.
Namely because Water and Flour have different components and characteristics in different places. Mineral and protein content respectively. So some recipes which require high level ofprecision can fail badly with minor changes and require adaptation.
That is actually a thing, did you ever heard about hard water and soft water. those are terms for water with high mineral content and low mineral content, that kind of thing affects not only the taste of the water but how things cooked or brewed with it tastes like, there is a British tea whose name escapes me that is specially formulated for this area of the country that has water with such a drastically different mineral content than the rest of the country that tea companies there make teas for that region so it tastes good because the water causes non-purposely made teas to taste bad.This is the first time I have ever seen the claim that mineral content of water affects cooking.

Generally the main effect would be WRT to consistency as opposed to quality. IIRC for bread Flour protein is the main variable factor with Hardness of water being a tertiary factor.This is the first time I have ever seen the claim that mineral content of water affects cooking.
