LOOKING FOR A WAY TO MIX UP YOUR TOFU SCRAMBLE?


Today we will banish those bland tofu fears away and take on this incredibly simple tofu scramble using smoked tofu as it's main flavour. 

I must say I wasn't a fan of tofu the first few times I tried to make it at home, and since the beginning of my plant-based food journey I went from not loving tofu that much, to buying it weekly and absolutely loving it in every dish I create!

Tofu has some fantastic health benefits. It boasts a complete protein containing all nine essential amino acids, also high in iron, calcium, and the minerals manganese and phosphorous. In addition to this, it also contains magnesium, copper, zinc, and vitamin B1.

The trick for those new to tofu, I would say is to always follow a recipe the first few times when making a tofu dish, as this will help you to understand how to cook with tofu and how it cooks differently from other foods, as it's truly unique. This recipe is so simple and will produce the same results time and time again, I just know you're going to love it as much as I do!

HAVE YOU TRIED SMOKED TOFU YET?!


Smoked tofu is a relatively new style of tofu that is readily available here in the UK. The brand I enjoy most is Tofoo, and they use handmade organic tofu smoked with beechwood for a distinctive smokey taste. It can be appreciated hot or cold; however, I love using it in my cooked dishes such as a tofu scramble, pie, or fried rice.


If you usually make your tofu scramble with plain tofu or silken tofu, try this recipe with smoked tofu and discover the fantastic flavour!


All you need is four simple ingredients: smoked tofu, organic turmeric, nutritional yeast, unsweetened plant-based milk, and seasoning with salt and black pepper. 


Since I started using organic turmeric, I've never looked back; the taste is much better. It's less bitter and works wonders in this dish and others, so I find I use it far more and can enjoy its excellent anti-inflammatory benefits. I encourage you to consider making the switch!

Smoked Tofu Scramble Recipe

Serves 2


INGREDIENTS

  • 200g smoked tofu, I used the tofoo brand
  • 1/2 tsp organic turmeric
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened plant-based milk, I used soya
  • 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Spring onion greens for garnish, optional
  • Veggies of choice, I added bell pepper, onion, and spinach


METHOD


  1. Pan-fry or water-fry veggies of choice, I went with sliced onion and bell pepper, cook until softened.
  2. Drain the juice from the tofu packet, crumble the tofu with your hands and place into a non-stick frying pan, add the juice for more smokey flavour!
  3. Then, add the turmeric and the unsweetened plant-based milk.
  4. Cook on low for 3-5 minutes until warmed through.
  5. Add your nutritional yeast, salt and black pepper. Fold in spinach, if using.
  6. Serve with toast, favourite toppings, alongside a cooked breakfast, and with some sliced spring onion greens if you like.

There’s nothing quite like waking up to the smell of a freshly brewed cup of coffee, is there? It’s a delicious and all-pervasive scent that we look forward to each and every day… but as much as we love the delightful coffee bean, it doesn’t always love us back in the same way and all too often we find ourselves feeling a little anxious and jittery, or even dealing with a few stomach cramps after sipping on our morning cup of Java Joe. So what alternatives are there that we can enjoy just as much as coffee, that will give us a bit of a kick we’re looking for first thing but which won’t give us any of the nasty potential side-effects that come with caffeine? Here are just a couple of ideas to help get you started with your new caffeine-free routine! Mushroom coffee If you don’t want to turn your back on your favourite beverage entirely, what about substituting it for mushroom coffee every now and again? This is somewhat similar in flavour to actual coffee since it’s just coffee with mushroom extract in it, so it could help you bridge the gap from caffeine enthusiast to caffeine-free. It even looks like your typical ground coffee beans, since the mushrooms have been dried and extracted to get all the compounds out, before they’re blended into regular coffee. And even better than that, there are all sorts of potential health benefits to be reaped by increasing your mushroom consumption, so give it a go and see what you think! Peppermint tea Another alternative is a delicious and refreshing cup of peppermint tea. How dainty! It’s thought that peppermint can help give you an energy boost and tackle fatigue and sleepiness, so if you do struggle to get going in the morning, this could be the new tipple for you. Chicory coffee Or what about giving chicory coffee a go? For this coffee iteration, chicory root is dried, roasted and ground up to make a healthy drink that’s similar in colour to coffee but is sweeter (so no need to add extra sugar!), nuttier and less bitter than traditional coffee. It may not give you the intense morning energy boost you’re after, but research suggests that the inulin found within the root (which is a prebiotic fibre) can support the gut microbiome and promote good bowel health, so there are other potential benefits to the drink.
