Quick Curried Tofu Egg Scramble
Ingredients
- 7 oz (200 g) tofu
- ½ small red onion, diced
- 1 (140 g) tomato, diced, approx. 1 cup
- 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
- ½ tsp curry powder
- ¼ tsp turmeric
- ¼ tsp kala namak , or Himalayan salt
- 1½ cups (25 g) baby spinach
Instructions
- Crumble the tofu with your fingers or you can use a fork. I prefer it a little bit chunky.
- Add all ingredients, except baby spinach, to a non-stick pan. Heat it up and stir constantly for just 4-5 mins, then remove from the heat. It only needs to warm up so the seasoning can release its flavor and aroma.
- Once it's ready, add the baby spinach to the pan and mix well until it softens a bit. Remove from the heat.
- Serve with avocado, a salad, over a loaf of bread. You can also make some delicious burritos with it. Enjoy!
Notes
- You can add different veggies to your tofu, like red pepper, broccoli or anything you like.
