Ingredients
- 1 tbsp cooking oil (12g)
- ½ pack extra-firm tofu (175g to 225g)
- ½ tsp kala namak (black salt) (*optional)
- ¼ tsp Turmeric (*optional)
- 1 tbsp nutritional yeast (*optional)
- ¼ red onion (50g)
- ¼ bell pepper or Anaheim pepper (or even jalapeno if you like spicy) (40g)
- 1 pack mushrooms (150g)
- 3 cloves minced garlic (10g)
- 1 ½ cup baby spinach (40g)
- salt and black pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Wash and prep veggies: dice the onion and pepper, mince the garlic, and roughly chop the tomatoes and mushrooms.
- Heat up a large cast iron skillet on medium heat. Pat dry the tofu.
- Once skillet is hot enough (after ~5 minutes, or, if you have a laser thermometer, when the cast iron reaches 400 F), add oil and crumble in the tofu. If the tofu is still wet it will splatter a bit, so be careful!
- Pan-fry the tofu, moving them around every thirty seconds or so with a spatula or wooden spoon and breaking up the larger chunks. Don't stir too often because you want each piece to develop a nice seared crust.
- When the tofu pieces are looking nice and golden brown, add the onion and pepper.
- After a minute, add the tomatoes. Another minute, add the mushrooms... and finally the garlic.
- Turn off the heat and stir in the spinach. The spinach only takes a minute or two to wilt, after which the tofu scramble is ready to eat!
