Step-by-Step Instructions

Cut the tofu skin into bite-size rectangles or strips. Bring a pot of water to a boil, blanch the tofu skin for 2 to 3 minutes, then drain and rinse briefly under cool water. Set aside well drained.

Prepare the aromatics and sauce. Mince the garlic, chop the scallions, and slice the green and red chilies. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch, salt, black pepper, soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, and water until smooth.

Heat the cooking oil in a wok or large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced chilies and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant, then stir in the garlic.
