Ingredients 

Scrambled Tofu

  • 500 grams firm tofu drained
  • 2 garlic cloves finely chopped
  • ½ brown onion finely chopped
  • 1 green capsicum de-seeded and finely chopped and/or ½ jalapeño, finely chopped (de-seeded for less heat)
  • 1 tablespoon vegan butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • cup fresh herbs - I used coriander

Sauce

  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup nutritional yeast
  • ¼ teaspoon ground turmeric
  • ¼ teaspoon sweet paprika
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ¾ cup soy or dairy-free milk the original recipes uses 1 cup - 250ml
  • ½ cup vegan chicken or vegetable stock omit this for the original recipe
  • 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon vegan butter the original recipe uses 2 tablespoons
  • lemon to serve

Instructions

  • To make the sauce, combine the flour, spices, yeast and salt in a medium saucepan over low to medium heat. 
  • Slowly add the milk, whisking constantly. 
  • Add the stock while whisking.
  • Continue whisking until the sauce begins to thicken. Turn the heat to low and add the dijon mustard and butter, stirring to combine.
  • With the heat as low as possible, cook the sauce for 5 minutes, whisking often. 
  • Meanwhile to make the scrambled tofu, heat the butter and oil in a large fry pan. Add the onions and garlic with a pinch of salt and sauté until the onion is browned slightly. 
  • Add the peppers and/or jalapeños and cook for one minute.
  • Crumble the tofu in to the pan and pan fry, without stirring until one side of the tofu is lightly toasted. Remove any excess liquid with a spoon.
  • To serve, gently fold the tofu through the reserved sauce and add fresh herbs. If you find the sauce is quite thick, add a spoon of water and stir through before folding the tofu through. 
  • Serve with toast and a wedge of lemon
