Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

Heat the peanut oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tofu and break it up into very small pieces. Cook for a few minutes, until most of the liquid has evaporated and the tofu begins to brown.
Add chili powder, a little salt and black pepper, and stir. Add the green onions and corn and cook for a few minutes (the corn may remain crispy). Add the soy sauce and cook until most of the liquid is absorbed. Turn off the heat and stir in the balsamic vinegar.
