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
- ⅓ 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
- ¼-½ teaspoon kala namak
Instructions
- To make the sauce, combine the flour, spices, yeast and salt and kala namak 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
