Heat the oil in deep wok and fry the tofu until brown in both sides. Set aside. When they are already cold, scoop out the middle part to make a hole for filling.

Filling: in remaining oil, stir fry the onion and garlic. Add the meat, stir well until brown. Then add carrots. Pour some water, just enough to make the carrots tender. Add salt and pepper to taste. When it is about to be done, mix corn flour with small amount of water and pour it to the filling, this will make the filling becomes a bit thicker. Cook about 10 minutes until water is absorbed.

Take a spoon of it and stuff it into the hole of tofu one by one until all is done. Put aside.
