Description

Scrambled tofu is an easy-to-digest dish that resembles scrambled eggs. It is delicious and satisfies the need for phytoestrogens. It can also be served as a bean-protein side dish with lunch or dinner. A super brunch for lazy weekend breakfasts. The sweetcorn, peppers and spring onions are optional. Try different vegetables depending on what’s in season.

How-to? Steps

Step 1: Making Tahini sauce

In a high-speed blender, blend the ingredients for the sauce and set aside.

Step 2: Making Scrambled Tofu

In a heavy-based pan, warm a splash or two of filtered water over a medium heat. Add the shallots and turmeric, cover and allow to sweat for 5 minutes. Add the red pepper, mushrooms, spring onions and sweetcorn and sauté for a further 5–8 minutes.

Step 3:

Crumble or mash the tofu into the pan and add the shoyu, along with the half cup of water. Cover and cook for 5 minutes.

Step 4:

Stir in the creamy tahini mixture, nori threads and coriander. Stir well and remove from the heat.

Step 5: Garnish & serve

Sprinkle over the parsley and black sesame seeds. Serve hot piled high on some toasted sourdough or a crusty wholegrain baguette.
