6. Add the prepared tofu strips to the wok and stir fry for another 2-3 minutes with the vegetables.
7. Add the corn flower to the water and mix well, add this to the wok together with the vinegar, salt, chilli sauce, tomato sauce, plum sauce and stir fry until tofu strips are totally covered with the sauce.
