Vegetable oil, for deep-frying
1 cup cornflour
250 grams pressed Tofu, cut into 8 cubes
4-5 cloves garlic, finely sliced
1 large red chilli, deseeded and chopped
2 shallots, chopped
1/2 tablespoon salt-pepper mix
Salt and pepper mixture:
4 tablespoons sea salt
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon ground white pepper
Grind until well blended

1
It's easiest to coat the tofu if it's drained first. To do that, invert a colander over a plate, place the tofu on the colander with a weight on top (I also put paper towels under the tofu and use a plate with something on top). Leave for the excess moisture to drain, 15-30 minutes.
2
Heat the oil in a wok until hot -- a piece of bread will sizzle if dropped in it.
3
Put cornflour in a bowl and gently coat the tofu, taking care that it doesn't break up. Allow the tofu to rest for a minute.
4
Deep-fry until golden brown. Put aside.
5
Drain all but a little of the oil from the wok, return to the heat. Throw in the garlic, then the chilli and shallots. Fry gently.
6
Re-add the tofu, sprinkle with some of the salt and pepper mixture and give it all a good toss.
