Ethiopian Style Scrambled Tofu with Spinach and Awaze Sauce
A vegan twist on a classic breakfast scramble using tofu, flavored with Ethiopian spices and a touch of Awaze sauce. Served with spinach for added nutrients.
Ingredients
- 1 block Firm Tofu
- about 142 g Spinach
- 0.5 medium Onion
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Awaze Sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric Powder
- 1 tablespoon Nutritional Yeast
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable Oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black Pepper
Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.
Instructions
- 1Place the 1 block Firm Tofu on a clean surface and press it firmly with your hands or a clean kitchen towel to remove as much excess water as possible. Once pressed, crumble the tofu into small, irregular pieces directly into a bowl.
- 2Heat the 1 tablespoon of Vegetable Oil in a 25.4 cm skillet over medium heat (176.7°C / 175°C). Add the 0.5 medium Onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion pieces are softened and look translucent, about 3 minutes.
- 3Add the 2 cloves of Garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute more, stirring constantly, until you can smell its fragrance. Be careful not to let the garlic burn.
- 4Add the crumbled tofu to the skillet. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, allowing the tofu to lightly brown and absorb the flavors in the pan.
- 5Add the about 142 g Spinach, 2 tablespoons Awaze Sauce, 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric Powder, 1 tablespoon Nutritional Yeast, 0.25 teaspoon Salt, and 0.25 teaspoon Black Pepper to the skillet. Stir everything together well. Continue to cook, stirring, until the spinach has wilted down, about 2 minutes.
- 6Serve the Ethiopian Style Scrambled Tofu hot.
