📝 Ingredients
- 300 g firm tofu
- ½ brown onion (about 60 g)
- 1 garlic clove
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp turmeric + ½ tsp sweet paprika
- 150 g cherry tomatoes
- 60 g baby spinach
- 1 tbsp soy sauce + 3 tbsp oat drink
- 4 slices wholemeal bread (about 40 g each)
- Salt, black pepper
🍴 Utensils
- Non-stick frying pan
- Spatula
- Chopping board and knife
- Kitchen paper
- Toaster
📖 Steps
- Drain the tofu, wrap it in kitchen paper and press it for 5 min under a plate weighed down with a tin to remove as much water as possible: it will brown better and have a texture closer to scrambled eggs.
- Meanwhile, finely slice the onion, chop the garlic and halve the cherry tomatoes. Rinse and drain the baby spinach well if it isn't already washed.
- Heat the oil in the frying pan over medium heat. Fry the onion for 4 min, stirring, until translucent, then add the garlic and stir for 30 s without letting it brown.
- Crumble the tofu by hand straight into the pan, in irregular pieces like scrambled eggs. Sprinkle with the turmeric and paprika, then cook for 5 min, stirring, until the tofu is a deep yellow and lightly golden.
- Add the cherry tomatoes and cook for 2 min: they should soften without falling apart. Stir in the spinach for about 1 min, just until it wilts. Meanwhile, toast the bread.
- Pour in the soy sauce and oat drink, then stir for 1 min: the tofu becomes soft and creamy. Season with pepper, then taste before adding salt, as the soy sauce is already salty.
- Divide the toast between two plates and spoon the hot tofu scramble on top. Serve immediately, with a final grind of pepper.
💡 FitBot tip: Make a double batch: the tofu scramble keeps for 2 days in the fridge and reheats in 2 min in a frying pan. Rolled up in a tortilla, it also makes a great wrap to take with you.
