Description

A quick and satisfying vegan breakfast dish that combines protein-rich tofu with spices and vegetables for a healthy option.


Ingredients

  • 300 g firm tofu, drained
  • 1-2 handfuls fresh spinach (or frozen, well-drained)
  • 1 small onion or 2 spring onions
  • 1 clove garlic (optional)
  • 1-2 tsp turmeric
  • 1 tsp sweet or smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Kala Namak to taste (start with 1/4 tsp)
  • 1-2 tbsp nutritional yeast (optional)
  • 1-2 tbsp olive oil or rapeseed oil
  • A splash of plant milk or water, if it seems dry
  • 2-4 slices of whole grain bread


Instructions

  1. Chop the onion and sauté in oil until translucent. If using garlic, add it shortly after, but only briefly to avoid bitterness.
  2. Crumble the tofu with your hands into small and medium-sized pieces; add it to the pan.
  3. Add turmeric, paprika, pepper, and a pinch of salt. Stir well and let it cook until it becomes drier and starts to brown.
  4. Stir in the spinach. Fresh spinach wilts quickly. If it seems dry, add a splash of plant milk or water.
  5. Finally, reduce the heat or turn off the pan and stir in the Kala Namak to maintain the eggy flavor.

Notes

If you have time, press the tofu in a clean kitchen towel to remove excess water for better frying. Feel free to customize the scramble with other vegetables or spices.
