Ingredients

  • 400g firm tofu, pressed
  • 2 tbsp oil
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • ½ thumb sized piece ginger
  • 1 spring onion
  • 1 quarter of red and green pepper - diced
  • 1 red onion - diced
  • 150ml vegetable stock
The Marinade
  • 1 ½ tbsp mushroom stir-fry sauce
  • 1 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 4 tbsp cornstarch
The Sauce
  • 2 tbsp Shaoxing rice wine (or sherry)
  • ½ tbsp mushroom stir-fry sauce
  • ½ tsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp dark soy sauce
  • ¼ tsp ground black pepper

Method

• Roughly chop the ginger, garlic, and spring onion. Quarter the red onion and cut into 1-2 cm cubes. Quarter the green pepper, red pepper and red onion. Place on the wok clock starting at twelve with the ginger and garlic, then the spring onion, red onion and, lastly, the peppers.

• Pat the tofu dry and cut it into 1 cm cubes. To the tofu add the mushroom stir fry sauce, 1 tsp of black pepper, and the sesame oil. Fold through with your fingertips (be careful not to break up the tofu). If you are going for a crisp tofu, add 4 heaped Tbsp of corn-starch and coat.

• Make the stir fry sauce with the rest of mushroom stir fry sauce and the sauce ingredients.
