130g

3g
1/2 tsp black pepper
1.05g

Instructions:

1. Season the Tofu:
- In a small bowl, combine the crumbled tofu with garlic powder, ground cumin, chili powder, and turmeric powder. Mix well to ensure the tofu is evenly coated with the spices.
2. Cook the Vegetables:
- Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and diced red pepper to the skillet. Sauté for about 3-5 minutes until the vegetables are soft and the onion becomes translucent.
3. Add the Tofu:
- Push the sautéed vegetables to one side of the skillet.
- Add the spiced tofu to the other side of the skillet.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tofu starts to lightly brown.
4. Combine and Cook the Kale:
- Mix the sautéed vegetables and tofu together in the skillet.
- Add the chopped kale.
- Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the kale is wilted.
5. Season and Serve:
- Season the scramble with salt and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Serve hot, garnished with your choice of fresh herbs or avocado slices if desired.

Tips:

- Press the tofu to remove excess moisture before cooking to achieve a better texture.

- Feel free to add other vegetables like tomatoes, mushrooms, or spinach for extra flavor and nutrition.

- Use a non-stick skillet to prevent the tofu scramble from sticking.

- Adjust the spices according to your taste preferences; you can add more chili powder if you like it spicier.

- Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro for added flavor and color.

Tofu scramble with kale and red pepper is a quick, easy, and healthy meal that is sure to become a favorite. The vibrant colors and rich flavors make it as pleasing to the eye as it is to the palate. Serve it on toast, with potatoes, or on its own for a satisfying and nutritious meal.
