Scrambled Tofu
We arrived at a scrambled tofu recipe that tastes great on it’s own, and even better served with vegan haggis. It’s simple to make, easy to buy the ingredients and goes down a treat! Even better – it has been tested on lots of non-vegans, who seem to love it more than the vegans!
Quick tip: make it fresh and make sure you dry the tofu
Ingredients (makes two portions)
• 140g of tofu (we use Tofoo)
• 1 x tablespoon of light soy sauce
• 1 x tablespoon of dark muscovado sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric
• 1/2 teaspoon of dried parsley
• 1 x small shallot diced
• 1 x small tomato diced
• 1 tablespoon of nutritional yeast
How to make it (takes about 20 minutes)
1. Get your tofu and drain it by squeezing it. Let it sit for a bit, as it will dry just sitting.
2. Mix the turmeric, sugar, parsley and soy sauce together in a ramekin or small bowl. This is the flavouring. If the tofu is dry, you can add a little water to the mix.
3. Sauté the shallot in some vegetable oil for 3 minutes.
4. Add the tomato and cook for another few minutes. It should create a reddy / brown mix.
5. Crumble in the tofu making sure you don’t break it up too much and cook for a couple of minutes
6. Add the flavouring and mix in well. Keep mixing by turning the tofu over. Keep it on a low – medium heat until the flavouring and liquid is absorbed by the tofu. Should take 5 minutes.
7. Let the tofu sit in the pan on a low heat for another few minutes to cook it further.
8. A couple of minutes before serving, mix in the nutritional yeast.
The tofu should be fairly firm and dry. If the tofu is still quite watery, cook it for longer.
