Spicy Tofu Stir-Fry with Umami Fire Seasoning

Ingredients:

For the Stir-Fry:

• 1 block (14 oz) firm tofu, drained and cubed

• 2 tablespoons Umami Fire seasoning

• 3 tablespoons soy sauce

• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar

• 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce

• 1 tablespoon sesame oil

• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1-inch piece fresh ginger, grated

• 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced

• 1 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced

• 1 cup snow peas

• 1 cup broccoli florets

• 2 green onions, sliced

• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)

• Fresh cilantro or green onion tops (for garnish)

For Serving:

• Steamed jasmine rice or noodles

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Tofu:

• Press the tofu to remove excess moisture by wrapping it in a clean kitchen towel and placing a heavy object on top for about 15 minutes.

• Cut the pressed tofu into cubes and toss them with 1 tablespoon of Umami Fire seasoning to coat evenly.

1. Cook the Tofu:

• In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned tofu cubes and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the tofu from the skillet and set aside.

1. Prepare the Sauce:

• In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and hoisin sauce. Set aside.

1. Cook the Vegetables:

• In the same skillet, add the sesame oil. Once hot, add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

• Add the red and yellow bell peppers, snow peas, and broccoli florets to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

1. Combine and Cook:

• Return the cooked tofu to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the sauce over the mixture and toss to coat everything evenly.

• Sprinkle the remaining 1 tablespoon of Umami Fire seasoning over the stir-fry. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through and well combined.

1. Serve:

• Remove the stir-fry from the heat and garnish with sesame seeds and fresh cilantro or green onion tops.

• Serve the spicy Umami Fire tofu stir-fry over steamed jasmine rice or noodles.

Presentation:

• For a five-star presentation, arrange the stir-fry on a large serving platter or individual plates.

• Garnish with additional sesame seeds and a sprig of fresh cilantro or green onion tops for a pop of color.
