Cut the silken tofu into large cubes and carefully drain any excess water.
Slice the chicken breast into thin strips and peel the shrimp.
Mince the garlic cloves and slice the ginger into thin strips.
Prepare the vegetables: slice the shiitake mushrooms, separate the bok choy leaves, and julienne the carrot.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry, set aside.
Heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a large pan over medium heat. Gently fry the tofu cubes until golden brown on all sides. Remove them from the pan and set aside.
Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the pan. Stir-fry the chicken slices until they are no longer pink, then add the shrimp and cook until they turn pink and opaque.
Add minced garlic and sliced ginger to the pan, stir-frying until fragrant.
Add the mushrooms, bok choy, and carrots to the pan, cooking for about 3-4 minutes until vegetables begin to soften.
Pour in the chicken broth, soy sauce, and oyster sauce, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Return the tofu to the pan and gently stir in the cornstarch slurry to thicken the sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce coats all ingredients well.
Season the dish with pepper and salt to taste.
Garnish with chopped spring onions before serving.
Serve the Sapo Tahu hot as a main dish with steamed rice.
