A really easy, versatile tofu recipe that can be adapted to include different veggies or used to add some extra protein into a stir fried rice recipe. There are so many recipes out there for vegan scramble.. THIS is my favourite ‘go to’ basic recipe with the right balance of textures and simple ingredients that are often already in the cupboard.

This Recipe Serves 4 People | 0.5 Portions of Veg Per Serving | Ready in 15 Minutes

To make this recipe you will need:

1 280g pack of Tofoo (you can use an alternative brand but the firmer the better for the right texture contrast.)

1 pack of silken tofu

1 Small Onion (Finely diced)

1 Teaspoon Lazy Garlic

1 Heaped Teaspoon of Dijon Mustard

1/2 Teaspoon Ground Turmeric

1/2 Teaspoon Cracked Black Pepper

1/2 Teaspoon Sea Salt Flakes

2 Tablespoons Nutritional Yeast

How to do it:

Open and drain the liquid from your firm Tofoo – If you are using the brand suggested, you won’t need to press your tofu, it will be ready to use. Then use your hands to crumble the firm tofu into a bowl.

Next, open the silken tofu and add to the same bowl of crumbled firm tofu – Use a spoon just to gently smush the silken tofu up. Preparing the tofu like this just makes it easier for the cooking stage and creates less mess!

Pop the diced onion into a pan with a splash of oil. Stir fry over a medium to high heat for about 5-10 minutes. This should allow your onion pieces to turn translucent and just start to catch a little.

Reduce the heat right down and then add the prepared tofu along with all other ingredients to the pan. Mix well to combine the flavours and then allow to gently cook for about 5 minutes. This brief cooking period allows the turmeric to cook out. You will know when your scramble is done when you have a consistent pale yellow colour across the full contents of the pan.

Use this mix on toast, along side a cooked breakfast or with a squidge of mayo in sandwiches.

This filler will keep in an airtight tub in the fridge for up to 4 days – PERFECT as an easy prep ahead option for easy packed lunches and speedy protein packed brunch.
