Scrambled Tofu

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!).

Steps:

  1. Start by cooking the rice.
  2. In the meantime, press the tofu with a couple of kitchen towels to drain the excess water.
  3. Crumble the tofu, season with the lemon juice, salt, pepper, turmeric and curry powder.
