• Use a pestle and mortar or a small blender to pond or blend the garlic and coriander roots and stalks into a paste. Add the peppercorns and continue to pound roughly.

• Heat the remainder of the oil in a wok or large frying pan and stir - fry the garlic paste over a medium heat for 3 - 4 minutes or until fragrant.
• Add the pepper and stir - fry for 3 - 4 minutes, then add the bean curd, ginger, spring onions and soy sauce. Gently toss together for another 2 - 3 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
