Arrange tofu triangles in one layer in a dish and cover with marinade. All to soak for at least 10 minutes or absord the flavors. Prepare sauce mix by combining all ingredients in a small bowl. In a separate bowl mix the water or stock and the 1 teaspoon cornstarch. Dredge marinated tofu pieces in cornmeal or cornstarch and fry over medium heat in 1/8 to 1/4 inch oil, for 34 minutes on each side. Drain and keep warm in 200 degree oven. Add leftover marinade to sauce mix. Heat 3tablespoons oil in a wok. Stir fry garlic and onion until onion is tender. Add greens and continue stirfrying until just wilted but not mushy. Add sauce mix and fried tofu. Serve with rice. You can cut the tofu into many more smaller triangles...
