Lightly dust tofu with cornstarch, shaking off excess.
Pan fry in vegetable oil, turning occasionally until golden brown on all sides. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
Heat vegetable oil in a pan.
Sauté ginger, red pepper, and black peppercorns until aromatic.
Stir together water, cornstarch, sweet soy sauce, light soy sauce, and sugar in a bowl until free from lumps.
