Tofu Scramble with Spinach
Tofu scramble with spinach - so nutritious and a perfect protein boost for breakfast for vegetarians and vegans. I love spinach, so eating it for breakfast in that classic vegan dish - tofu scramble - is only natural.

One reviewer suggested adding extra soy sauce into the mix to make this spinach and tofu scramble a bit more flavorful.

Ingredients:

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3/4 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
  • 2 tomatoes
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 bunch spinach, rinsed
  • 1 pound firm or extra firm tofu, well pressed and crumbled
  • 1/2 tsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • salt and pepper to taste

Preparation:

Sautee tomatoes, garlic and mushrooms in olive oil for 2 to 3 minutes.

Reduce heat to medium low and add spinach, crumbled tofu, soy sauce and lemon juice. Cover and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Sprinkle with a dash of salt and pepper before serving.

Makes two servings.

Top rated tofu dish!, Guest Jennifer

With never cooking or eating tofu before, this meal really turned me into a lover of it. I love this recipe because it was easy to make, not a lot of spices/ingredients, and it was mainly vegetables, adding to a whole lot of nutrition. My boyfriend who said he would never eat tofu, thought it was better than scrambled eggs and pleasantly surprised how good it was. I used frozen chopped spinach, baby tomatoes, frozen shitaki mushrooms, about five cloves of garlic, 1 tbsp of soy sauce, with salt/pepper to taste. No lemon juice was used. When I made this recipe, my measurements were probably a lot more, because I like the vegetables to be balanced with the amount of tofu, which the picture doesn't show. That was another high light of this recipe, you can alter it to your tastes, without compromising the nutrition or taste. All in all, a FANTASTIC, easy recipe that I recommend to everyone!
