Earthy ginger-like turmeric Tofu Scramble with bulbous piercing spring onions and roasted succulent tart tomatoes.
Devour something moist and fluffy that will get your balls going. And, lounge.
This dish smashes any belief that vegan food can’t be fulfilling and nourishing.
Make this:
- When you’ve got a big activity day ahead of you and want something nourishing that will see you through the day ahead
- When you’ve got friends over for the weekend and want a quick and dirty dish that will get your carb and protein up
- When you’re looking for a fry up to go with your full English breakfast and a scramble to go with it
Tofu Scramble was inspired when first turning vegan, and discovering that tofu made an amazing nourishing fried substitute for eggs. A scramble is fluffy beaten tofu gently heated with salt and oil.
Tofu Scramble is vegan.
