Tofu Heaven

Scrambled Tofu
Serves 2

10-15 minutes: 5 minutes preparation time, 7-10 minutes to cook.

1 block firm tofu
1 tbsp oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
Turmeric (mild tasting yellow spice – watch you don’t get it on clothes, as it stains! It’s available in all supermarkets, health and Indian stores)
Chilli (only if you like hot spicy food!)
Chopped spring onion (if you like it)
Salt and pepper
Bread for toast

1. Remove the tofu from its wrapper and drain all the water out.
2. Pat dry using a clean tea towel and then squash it between two plates so that the excess water drains out.
3. Add one tbsp of oil to a frying pan and heat gently.
4. Add chopped onion.
5. When the onion is beginning to soften and brown (after about five minutes) crumble in the tofu – it should be in small pieces about the size of peas.
6. Gently fry for a couple more minutes and add some turmeric, chilli and spring onion if you want them and a little bit of salt and pepper.
7. Serve with toast and any other breakfast things you fancy!
