This is one of my favourite dishes. I remember that I had Paella once when I was small and I was blown away by that yellow rice. It was Paella. Since then, I have been a big fan of Paella. Cooking Paella may sound difficult to you but actually it's not, especially with Dried Konyaku as you don't need to worry about how much rice is cooked. This Dried Konyaku Paella is super easy, very healthy and mouth-watering! Fumi
