Drain the tofu in a fine mesh sieve and put a bowl on top. Drain this over the sink or over a bowl with a couple of cans in the bowl to weigh it down while the coating and vegetables are prepared

Mix the 1/2 teaspoon of salt, white pepper, and turmeric with the 3 teaspoons of cornflour in a large bowl until blended together

Cut a V shape to remove the tougher part of the stalks of the cabbage, roll into a cigar shape and cut once lengthways and then in 1/2 colių (1cm) strips across

Trim, remove the tougher leaves and cut the springs onions on the diagonal into 1″ (2 ir 1/2 cm) dalys

Finely chop together the red and green chillies, the ginger and the garlic

Pat dry the tofu and cut into one inch (2 ir 1/2 cm) cubes, roll each one in the cornflour, turmeric and salt and pepper mix until thoroughly coated and drop into the heated oil in the wok (saving the remaining flour and spice mix for later)

Cook for around 10 minutes turning with tongs until each side is golden brown

Remove the tofu from the wok, drain on kitchen paper and set aside

Put the broccoli, cabbage and mushrooms into the hot oil in the wok and stir fry over a high heat for 3 į 5 minutes until the edges are slightly charred

Add the chopped garlic, chillies and ginger and stir fry for a further 2 protokolas
