Finely chop a large amount of ginger, garlic, and spring onion to create a paste.

Heat vegetable oil in a wok over high heat until shimmering.

Add the ginger, garlic, and spring onion paste to the wok and stir.

Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook the paste for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until it turns golden brown.

Season the paste with sea salt and white pepper, mixing well to deepen the color.

Increase the heat back to high and add the firm tofu to the wok, ensuring it is coated with the paste.

Stir-fry the tofu on high heat for a short time to infuse the flavors, then reduce the heat back to medium.

Continue to stir-fry the tofu for about 10 minutes, folding it gently to brown the edges and absorb the flavors.

Once the tofu is nicely browned, drizzle light soy sauce over the top to add saltiness and flavor.
