When ready to start cooking carefully put the tofu into the boiling water.

Heat wok to smoking; add a tablespoon or two of oil and stir in seasonings.

(Note: if the wok looks too dry during cooking, just add a little more oil by pouring it directly onto the hot metal).
6
As soon as the seasonings start to give off a pungent aroma add the bbq pork and stir fry for 2- 3 minutes to coat with oil and seasonings and to heat through.
7
Add the pea pods and continue stirring until they're hot.
8
Pour the tofu into a colander or sieve and let it drain while you continue the recipe.

Give the sauce ingredients a good stir and pour into the wok, trying to hit the metal surface rather than the contents.
10
When it starts to bubble thicken it with a little of the binder.
