Ingredients
- 200 grams tofu
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 cup diced onion
- 1/4 cup diced bell pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped spinach
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce (or to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric (for color, optional)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- **Prep Vegetables and Tofu:** Chop the onion, bell pepper, and spinach. Crumble the tofu by hand or with a fork.
- **Cook Vegetables:** Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the onion and bell pepper, sautéing until slightly soft, about 5 minutes.
- **Add Tofu:** Introduce the crumbled tofu to the pan, mixing well. Sprinkle in the turmeric if using, for color, and stir until evenly distributed.
- **Season:** Drizzle soy sauce over the mixture, stirring to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Let cook for another 5-10 minutes until everything is heated through and the flavors meld.
- **Finish with Spinach:** Add the chopped spinach, stirring until just wilted, about 2 minutes.
- **Serve:** Transfer to a plate and enjoy warm.
Note
- Feel free to use any vegetables you have on hand. Bell peppers, spinach, and mushrooms make great additions.
- Traditional Japanese seasonings like soy sauce and mirin can add a depth of flavor, but adjust according to your taste preferences.
- Firm or extra-firm tofu is recommended for a texture closest to scrambled eggs.
