Savoring the Unexpected: Rosemary Miso Tofu Stir-Fry

Exploring New Flavors: Rosemary Miso Tofu Stir-Fry

As the weather begins to cool down and the leaves start to change colors, I find myself craving warm and comforting meals that are both hearty and healthy. Today, I’m excited to share a unique vegetarian recipe that combines the earthy flavor of rosemary with the umami richness of miso in a delicious tofu stir-fry.

For this recipe, you will need the following ingredients:

• knife
• cutting board
• wok
• whisk

To make this flavorful dish, start by cutting 300g of firm tofu into bite-sized cubes and patting them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of white miso paste, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon of maple syrup, and a pinch of red pepper flakes.

Heat a wok over medium heat and add a splash of sesame oil. Add the tofu cubes to the wok and cook until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides. Remove the tofu from the wok and set it aside.

In the same wok, add a bit more sesame oil and sauté 1 diced onion, 2 minced cloves of garlic, and a handful of chopped fresh rosemary until the onions are soft and fragrant. Add in a mix of your favorite stir-fry vegetables (such as bell peppers, snap peas, and mushrooms) and cook until they are tender-crisp.

Return the tofu to the wok and pour the miso sauce over the tofu and vegetables. Stir everything together until the sauce is evenly distributed and heated through. Serve the stir-fry over steamed brown rice or quinoa and garnish with additional fresh rosemary.

Once cooked, the total weight of this flavorful Rosemary Miso Tofu Stir-Fry is approximately 900g, making enough for 4 servings. Each serving is around 225g, with an estimated calorie count of 250 per portion.

A clever tip to enhance the flavor of this dish is to marinate the tofu in the miso sauce for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This extra step allows the tofu to absorb more of the delicious flavors, resulting in a more intense taste experience.

I encourage you to give this Rosemary Miso Tofu Stir-Fry a try and feel free to customize it with your favorite vegetables and herbs. It’s a delightful combination of savory, herbal, and tangy flavors that is sure to warm you up on a chilly evening. Enjoy!
