Method
- Cut tofu crosswise into 2cm slices, then diagonally, to make triangles.
- Combine the marinade ingredients in a flat dish and layer in the tofu triangles, turning to coat. Allow to sit for 10 minutes to absorb flavours.
- Prepare the sauce mix by combining all ingredients in a small bowl.
- In a separate bowl mix the water or stock and the 1 tsp of cornflour.
- Dredge the marinated tofu pieces in cornmeal and fry over medium heat in a shallow amount of oil for 3-4 minutes on each side. Drain and keep warm in oven.

- Heat 3 tbs of oil in a wok.
- Stir-fry garlic and onion until translucent.
- Add greens and continue stir-frying until just wilted but not mushy.
