* 500g firm tofu * 1/3 – 1/2 cup cornstarch, or as needed * 1/2 tsp salt * 1/4 tsp white pepper * Oil, for frying
**Spice mix**
* 1 tsp mushroom based veggie stock powder * 1/4 tsp Chinese five spice powder * 1/4 tsp sugar * 3/4 tsp salt * 1/2 tsp white pepper
**Topping**
* 1 small red capsicum * 1 small green capsicum * 4 cloves garlic * 1 small onion * 1 long red chili or 2-3 birds eye chili
### Instructions
1. Heat oil in a pot or wok and make sure it’s nice and hot before frying your tofu. 2. In the meantime, cut your tofu into chunks and evenly toss in the cornstarch, salt and pepper. 3. Dust off any excess starch then fry (in batches if needed), ensuring each piece is fully submerged in the hot oil. Fry until lightly golden and crispy, drain and set aside. 4. In the meantime, mix together your spice mix until well combined. 5. In a pan, fry the onion and garlic for 1 minute until fragrant. Add in the capsicum and chili and continue to fry for another 2 minutes. 6. Add in the tofu along with the spice mix and toss well to coat. Serve immediately!
