Heat 4 tablespoons of oil in a wok or skillet until it is hot enough to bounce a drop of water. Fry the tofu triangles for a few minutes on each side until their outer surfaces become crisp. Drain on paper towels. In a medium sized saucepan, combine sherry, soy sauce, water, vinegar, honey, sugar, garlic and dry mustard. Heat it until it almost boils, remove from heat. Place the cornstarch in a small bowl and pour in a small amount of hot liquid, whisking until it dissolves. Whisk this back into the saucepan. Keep the whisk there, you'll need it. Heat wok or skillet again. Add the remaining oil and cook the onion over high heat for about 2 minutes. Add bell peppers, salt and crushed red and black peppers. Cook for about 2 minutes longer. Gently stir in the tofu triangles. Whisk the sauce to reintegrate the cornstarch, and pour all of it over the wok. Stir and cook over high heat for about 8 minutes, adding the scallions at the very end. When the sauce is thick and everything is coated, serve hot over rice.
