In the same wok, add garlic and ginger; stir-fry until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Add sliced carrots and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until slightly tender.

Add choy sum and stir-fry until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.

Return tofu to the wok and mix well with vegetables.

In a small bowl, combine taucu, soy sauce, sugar, and water; stir until mixed.

Pour the sauce over the stir-fry and toss to coat evenly.

Add black pepper and salt to taste; stir-fry for another minute.

Garnish with chopped spring onions and red chili before serving.
