• Heat 2 tbsp of oil in a wok or fry pan and add the tofu in it and shallow fry it until golden brown.
• Drain it on a paper towel and keep aside.
• In the same pan, heat the remaining 1 tsp of oil.
• Add the minced garlic and fry for 10 seconds.
• Now add the spring onions (keep a few green to garnish) and saute for about a minute.
• Then add the chopped bell pepper and saute further for a couple of minutes.
• Now add the soy sauce, brown sugar and the sriracha (chilli sauce) and mix well.
• To this add the fried tofu and give it a good toss to mix well.
• Transfer it to a serving platter and garnish with the spring onion top.
