I saw this recipe in one of the food blog, it tasted nice but mine dont looks as nice as the one I saw in the food blog (lol). I simply do not know how to decorate my food (lol).

Ingredients.
2 cake of firm tofu
5 tbsp corn flour
2 tbsp plain flour
½ tsp Chinese Five Spice Powder
½ tsp salt
Oil for shallow frying
3 stalks of lemongrass,minced
3 cloves of garlic, minced
1 small red chilli, minced

For toppings
1 tsp five spice powder
1 tbsp oil
½ tsp of salt
½ tsp white pepper

Method
Cut the tofu into 4 portion each block.
Combine the flour, five-spice powder and salt together in a large plate.
Coat the tofu well with the flour mixture.
Heat oil in a non-stick pan till hot, then shallow fry the tofu till golden brown. Set aside, keep warm in a low oven.
For the topping, heat extra oil in the pan till hot.
Fry the minced lemongrass, garlic and chilli for about 1-2 mins, until tender and fragrant. Season with five spice powder and pepper.
Spread the mixture on top of fried tofu and serve hot with a dash of fish sauce.
