This Curried Tofu Scramble with Spinach is a delicious and healthy vegan dish that’s perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It’s packed with flavor from the Indian spices and is a great way to get your daily dose of protein and veggies.

INGREDIENTS

For the Scramble:

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable broth or olive oil
  • ½ medium onion, diced
  • 1 large red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 block firm or extra-firm organic tofu, pressed and drained
  • 3 cups kale or spinach, roughly chopped

For the Seasoning:

  • ½ teaspoon curry powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon cumin powder
  • ¼ teaspoon coriander powder
  • ¼ teaspoon turmeric
  • ¼ teaspoon garam masala
  • ¼ teaspoon Himalayan pink sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon water

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Heat the vegetable broth or olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté the diced onions for about 5 minutes until they are soft and translucent.
  • Add the sliced mushrooms and diced red bell peppers to the skillet, cooking for an additional 5-7 minutes until tender.
  • Push the cooked vegetables to one side of the skillet. On the other side, add the pressed and drained tofu. Use a wooden spatula to break the tofu into chunks and sauté until heated through, about 2-3 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, mix all the seasoning ingredients together, adding just enough water to form a paste (not too watery).
  • Pour the seasoning paste over the tofu, tossing to ensure each piece is evenly coated.
  • Add the sautéed veggies back to the skillet along with the chopped kale or spinach. Cover the skillet and cook for 5 minutes, or until the greens have wilted.
  • Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve immediately.

PRO TIPS & MEAL PREP IDEAS

  • If you don’t have kale or spinach, you can substitute with broccoli or tomatoes for a different twist.
  • A few slices of fresh avocado on the side make a delicious addition.
  • For best results, use extra-firm tofu, as softer tofu tends to crumble easily.
