Ingredients
- 17.6 ounces tofu firm
- 1-2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 2 green onions aka Spring Onions, fresh cut
- ¼ Teaspoon Black Pepper Ground
- ½ Teaspoon Cumin Seeds Ground
- ½ Teaspoon Coriander Seeds Ground
- ¼ Teaspoon Turmeric Ground aka Curcuma
- to taste salt
- paprika *see Notes, to garnish
Instructions
- Unpack and place your tofu block into a colander so that we get rid of some of the water. Place the tofu into a mixing bowl and with a fork start mashing the tofu to create something that looks like a scramble. Keep aside.
- Slice your Spring Onion, reserve the green parts to garnish the finished scramble.
- Grab a pan, heat up add the olive oil and stir-fry your sliced white part of the spring onion.
- Now add the tofu and stir fry on medium heat. To season add the spices one by one, including black pepper, cumin, coriander, and turmeric. Stir fry the whole content so that the spices cover all the scrambled tofu evenly.
- Do that for 2-3 minutes until you feel it' s right. The vegan egg scramble is ready when it's cooked but not too dry.
- Add to your plate and garnish with the green cut spring onion parts and optionally with paprika or spicy hot cayenne pepper (red chili) powder.
- Enjoy still hot with bread, hash brown, baked beans and similar. See serving suggestion above recipe card in the post.
