Heat a wok or heavy soup pot on high for a half a minute and add the oil. Swirl the oil to coat the bottom and add the garlic, leeks, and carrot matchsticks. Lower the heat to a simmer and cook, covered, for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Uncover the wok, increase the heat to high, and add the spinach. Stir fry for 2 minutes until the spinach is wilted. Lower the heat to medium. Add the stock, soy sauce and rice vinegar. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Heat through but do not boil. Serve immediately, garnished with strips of tofu.
