- Make the stir fry sauce by combining the soy sauce, 1/2 tsp dark soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, maple syrup, and pomegranate juice
- After 15min, turn the heat off on the rice and let it steam further for another 10min
- Heat up a nonstick pan to medium heat. Add the 1 tsp chili oil followed by the crumbled tofu. Sauté for a few minutes. Add 1 tsp dark soy sauce and sauté for a couple of minutes. Set the tofu aside
- Place the pan back on medium heat. Add 1 tbsp chili oil followed by the red onions. Sauté for about 2min. Add the garlic, mini sweet peppers, and ghost pepper. Sauté for another couple of minutes
