Equipment: Non-stick frying pan

Ingredients

  • 280 g block firm tofu, drained
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 100 g mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 large handfuls of spinach
  • ½ tsp ground turmeric
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • Salt and black pepper

Optional extras

  • 1 tbsp nutritional yeast

Method

  1. Pat the tofu dry and crumble it into rough, egg-sized pieces with your hands or a fork.
  2. Heat the oil in a non-stick pan over a medium heat and fry the mushrooms for 3–4 minutes, until golden.
  3. Add the crumbled tofu, turmeric and paprika and cook for 4–5 minutes, stirring, until hot and lightly golden.
  4. Stir in the spinach until wilted, then the nutritional yeast, if using. Season well and serve.

Swaps and tips

Pressing the tofu for 10 minutes under a plate gives a firmer scramble. A splash of soy sauce adds extra savoury depth.
