Crisp morning air feels magical, especially after the recent heat spell the past few weeks. Kids are now settled into their routine and I can finally get back into my own routine after the summer break. I’m back into my kitchen rejuvenated and inspired (this weather does that to me) and the focus will be on healthy recipes since I’ve realized that I might have gained a few extra pounds over the summer break, especially our month-long UK holiday! (blame it on my list of must-eat British foods and its quite a long list 🙂 )
My recipe today involves Tofu and it’s a simple breakfast/brunch recipe that’s absolutely delicious! If you haven’t tried a Tofu Scramble yet, well then, you should. I love Tofu and it’s one of the easiest things to work with. It can take on any flavor and it’s a good source of protein and energy. Its also pretty filling so you won’t be hungry for a while!
My Tofu Scramble uses onions, scallions and peppers (in yellow and orange keeping in mind the warm autumn hues) along with some cilantro for garnish. The peppers are a nice addition here adding their crunch and color and I’ve also added some chili flakes for a hint of heat (that’s purely optional). The dish takes less than 30 mins to prepare and looks beautiful on the table. The flavors are very clean and fresh and it’s a simple dish that looks as good as it tastes. Enjoy.

Thanks for sharing the recipe. This will be perfect for my meatless Mondays. BTW, is there a difference if I use soft tofu as opposed to firm tofu in the recipe?
