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.

Ingredients

  • 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

  1. 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

  2. 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

  3. 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

  4. Stir in the spinach and the halved cherry tomatoes and cook for a minute more, just until the spinach wilts.

    2 min

  5. 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.
