01Cut the tofu into pieces 1 inch by 1 inch by 3 inches. Place them on paper towels to drain for 10 minutes.
02Heat a wok or skillet and add the 1/2 cup peanut oil. When it is hot, deep-fry the tofu pieces on both sides until they are golden brown. Drain them well on paper towels.
03Discard the oil and reheat the wok or skillet. Add the 1 1/2 tablespoons of oil and stir-fry the scallions and garlic for 30 seconds. Add the rice wine, hoisin sauce, soy sauces, sugar and stock. Bring to a boil, add the fried tofu and cook over high heat for 10 minutes, or until the tofu has absorbed most of the sauce.
