How to Make It

  • 1

    Pat the tofu dry with paper towels and cut into 2 cm cubes to ensure they don't break during stirring.

    Heat the vegetable oil in a wok over medium heat and lightly fry the tofu cubes until golden on all sides.

  • 4

    Add the minced garlic to the wok, sautéing for 30 seconds until fragrant, then move the tofu to one side.

  • 5

    Toss in the carrot strips and stir-fry for 1 minute until they begin to soften but remain vibrant.

  • 6

    Add the bean sprouts to the wok, along with the soy sauce and oyster sauce, tossing everything quickly.

  • 7

    Stir in the spring onions and cook for just 30 seconds until they slightly wilt, keeping them bright green.
