Tip:
– Take extra care when preparing the deep-fried tofu. You can get the ready-made deep-fried tofu at your local Oriental Supermarket. Otherwise, you can use normal extra firm tofu too.
-Stir fry is all about quick cooking. Hence, make sure you prepare all the ingredients and seasonings in advance, keep an eye on the wok at all times and put the right ingredients in at the right time.
