Tofu is pressed and crumbled rather than sliced, so it takes on the texture of scrambled egg. Turmeric gives it the colour, garlic powder and browned mushrooms give it the savoury depth that plain tofu has none of.

Tofu
300 grams
Olive Oil
1 tablespoon (14 grams)
Onion
80 grams
White Mushrooms
150 grams
Turmeric, ground
1 teaspoon (2.2 grams)
Garlic Powder
1 teaspoon (3.1 grams)
Black Pepper
to taste
Salt
to taste
Spinach
80 grams
Cherry Tomato
120 grams
Parsley · Garnish
1 handful (15 grams)
Steps
Press the tofu between two plates with a weight on top for 5 minutes, pour off the water, then crumble it with your fingers into pieces the size of scrambled egg.
5 min
Dice the onion and slice the mushrooms. Heat the oil in a pan over medium-high heat and cook them for 5 minutes, until the mushrooms have given up their water and started to brown.
5 min
Add the crumbled tofu, turmeric, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Fry for 5 minutes without stirring too often, so some edges catch and go golden.
5 min
Stir in the spinach and the halved cherry tomatoes and cook for a minute more, just until the spinach wilts.
2 min
Divide between two bowls and scatter with chopped parsley.
1 min
Serving suggestion
Good in a bowl or piled onto toast. Half an avocado on the side suits it.
Storage
Keeps 3 days in the fridge. Reheat in a pan; the tomatoes go soft in a microwave.
Notes
Pressing matters. Wet tofu steams instead of frying and stays pale and bland.
