Method
Pat the firm tofu cubes dry, then fry in 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil in a wok over medium-high heat for 6 minutes until golden on all sides. Lift onto a plate.
Heat the remaining oil in the wok and fry the onion for 3 minutes until softened.
Add the curry powder and fry for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the celery and stir-fry for 2 minutes until just starting to soften.
Whisk the blended silken tofu into the coconut milk until smooth, then pour into the wok with the light soy sauce and white pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer.
Return the firm tofu to the wok and simmer gently for 2 minutes, stirring, until the sauce thickens slightly and turns silky.
Scatter in the spring onions and stir through for 30 seconds.
Transfer to a serving plate and serve at once.
