Dusting the tofu cubes with cornstarch makes them easier to handle and produces a firm, crisp exterior. Add the fragile bok choy leaves at the last minute to avoid overcooking. If not using a wok, use a saucepan or skillet with high sides. Tofu is very moist, and oil may spatter.From "Betty Crocker's New Chinese Cookbook." Text Copyright 2005 General Mills, Inc.
