Ingredients :

 

  • 500g/17.5oz firm tofu, cut into cubes

  • 2 tsp. cornstarch for the sauce/plus 1 tsp. for dusting
  • 50g/1.75oz red pepper, thinly sliced
  • 20g/0.75oz ginger, julienne
  • 125ml/4.25fl oz water

  • 2 tsp. palm sugar
  • 1 tsp. black peppercorns, slightly crushed
  • 7g/0.25oz spring onions for garnish

Method :
  1. Lightly dust tofu with cornstarch, shaking off excess.
  2. Pan fry in vegetable oil, turning occasionally until golden brown on all sides. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
  3. Heat vegetable oil in a pan.
  4. Sauté ginger, red pepper, and black peppercorns until aromatic.
  5. Stir together water, cornstarch, sweet soy sauce, light soy sauce, and sugar in a bowl until free from lumps.
  6. Pour mixture into the pan and simmer until thick.
  7. Toss the fried tofu cubes into the sauce until evenly coated.
