Line a cookie tray with several layers of clean paper towels.

Combine all the sauce ingredients in a bowl and mix them thoroughly with a wire whisk then set aside.

Cut drained tofu about 1 inch thick then set aside on a plate

Place deep frying pan over medium high heat then add 1 1/2 cup vegetable oil.

Repeat the process until all the tofu is fried.

Preheat a wok over high heat.

Add 2 tablespoon vegetable oil.

Add chili pepper and stir fry for about 20 seconds.

Remove chili pepper from wok and set aside.

Add ginger and garlic and stir fry for about 10 seconds.
