Prepare the Konnyaku: Make lattice-like cuts on both surfaces of the konnyaku block, then cut it into bite-sized cubes.
Boil the Konnyaku: Bring a pot of water to a boil, add the konnyaku, and boil for 2 minutes. Drain the konnyaku and pat it dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Marinate the Konnyaku: In a bowl, combine the boiled konnyaku, soy sauce, grated ginger, and grated garlic, and toss to coat evenly. Let the konnyaku marinate for at least 5 minutes.
Bread the Konnyaku: Set up three shallow bowls with flour, beaten egg, and panko breadcrumbs. Coat each piece of konnyaku in the flour, dip it in the beaten egg, and finally cover it with panko breadcrumbs.
Fry the Konnyaku: Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the breaded konnyaku until golden brown and crispy on all sides. Place them on a wire rack or paper towel to remove excess oil.
Serve: Place the fried konnyaku on a plate and serve them with a dipping sauce of your choice.
