This tofu scramble with spinach makes a great simple week dinner and an easy egg substitute for vegetarians and vegans.
This recipe is also a healthier version of an asian egg fried rice. You can add whatever else you want: peas, corn, chives, etc.
Basics: Tofu, spinach, onion, garlic, ginger, curry powder, turmeric and lemon (sorry, I forgot the onion, turmeric and soy sauce on the photo. Ups!).
