Easy Vegan Tofu Scramble
I first tried tofu scramble at a vegan cafe around a year ago and I must say I was skeptical! I am a fan of tofu but only if its cooked and flavored right, theres nothing worse that bland slimy tofu! But this is exactly the opposite, easy to make so simple and so delicious, tofu scramble is my go to if I have a bit of time in the morning. I know everyone is a little wary of tofu recipes but this one will honestly change your mind on tofu forever. Only taking around 15 minutes to make, its the perfect easy weekend breakfast or lunch! Use your favourite veggies, your favorite type of bread and you're sorted! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
TIP: Try to get a block of firm tofu, with minimal liquid as it will make it easier to fry and provide a better scrambled texture. However if your tofu isn't as firm as you would like or you think it has a lot of excess liquid then simply wrap it in a thin cloth and place under a heavy pot or skillet for an hour or two until all the excess liquid is drained out, then continue with step one.
VEGAN TOFU SCRAMBLE
(serves one)
1 block firm tofu
a handful of mushrooms
1/2 small red onion
2 cloves garlic
1 tsp tumeric
vegan butter
a handful of spinach
salt and pepper
sourdough bread / a bagel
1. Drain your block of tofu by covering in a thin cloth and squeezing out the moisture
2. Finely chop the onion and garlic and fry in a pan with a little bit of water
3. Once softened, add the mushrooms and cook until soft
4. Move the veggies over to one side of the pan and in the other side crumble the tofu so it resembles the consistency of scrambled egg
5. Add turmeric, salt and pepper and fry the tofu for around 5-8 minutes, making sure it doesn’t burn
6. At the last minute, add the spinach and cook for a few minutes
7. Combine the tofu and veggies and plate on bagel or a slice of sourdough bread and serve!
