Step 1
Make shallow diagonal cross-hatch scores on both sides of the konjac.

Drain the rinsed konjac in a colander and pat it thoroughly dry with paper towels.
Step 5
Add vegetable oil (1/2 tbsp) to a frying pan and set to medium heat.

Important Notes
💡 Tearing the konjac by hand creates an irregular surface, which allows the flavors to absorb much more effectively than if it were cut with a knife.
🔥 The key to a rich flavor without it turning watery is to sauté the konjac thoroughly for 5 minutes to evaporate the moisture.
⚠️ Turning off the heat before adding the seasonings prevents the garlic and sauce from sticking to the pan and burning.
