Cut the tofu into 1-inch cubes and gently press to remove excess water. Coat the tofu cubes with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch.
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the tofu cubes and fry until they are golden on all sides. Remove from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and ginger, and sauté until fragrant.
Add the sliced chicken breast to the pan and cook until it begins to brown, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the carrot, baby corn, and shiitake mushrooms. Stir fry for about 2-3 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
Mix the gluten-free soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and chicken broth together in a small bowl. Pour this sauce over the chicken and vegetables in the pan.
In a cup, mix the remaining 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water. Pour this slurry into the pan, stirring until the sauce thickens.
Add the bok choy and cooked tofu to the pan. Stir gently to combine and allow the bok choy to wilt slightly, about 2 minutes.
Season with rice vinegar and white pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste if needed.
Serve hot, garnished with chopped scallions.
