Score the konnyaku on both sides and on the edges too. Cut into easy to eat cubes.

Boil the konnyaku briefly to get rid of the odor, and drain well in a colander or sieve.

Stir fry the konnyaku pieces in a frying pan without any oil.

When the konnyaku is fairly well cooked, add the butter and coat the konnyaku with it. When the butter has melted, add the soup stock granules.

Stir-fry for about a minute until browned. Add the garlic powder and salt and pepper to finish.
