Scrambled Tofu

I'm not vegan. But, I do love a lot of vegan food. I particularly like this recipe, because it's super high in protein and it's really quick and satisfying. It's eaten in the same way that you would scrambled eggs.

In this photo I fried broccoli and zucchini before following the below instructions. It's yummy without it, I just like vegetables.

Preparation Time: 2 minutes
Cooking Time: 5-10 minutes
Serves: 2

Ingredients
200 grams firm tofu
1 tsp ghee or olive oil (for vegan)
2 Tbs finely chopped spring onions
4 fresh basil leaves, finely chopped (you can used a 1/4 tsp of dried basil if you don't have this)
pinch ground turmeric (or 1/4 tsp fresh and grated)
1 Tbs tamari
Salt and pepper to taste

Method

Use your hands to break up the tofu and place it to the side.

Heat the oil in a frying pan on a low heat.

Add the onion and basil to the pan. Stir until soft, about 3 minutes.

Now add the turmeric and tamari, stirring until combined.

The crumbled tofu can now be stirred through. This step is about coating the tofu and heating it through. It should take about 2-5 minutes. Continue to use a low heat as you do this or the tofu will dry out.

Season as you like with salt and pepper

Serve on toasted bread, perhaps spread with avocado with a tomato relish on the side.

Yum!

Please note! It's really important that you do this on low heat. Otherwise all the liquid will evaporate leaving nothing left to flavour the tofu.
