Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Tofu: Drain the tofu and press it to remove excess water. Once pressed, crumble it into small pieces.
- Sweet Potato: Peel and dice the sweet potato into small cubes.
- Spinach: Wash and roughly chop the spinach.
- Mushrooms: Clean and slice the mushrooms.
- Onion: Peel and dice the onion.
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil over medium heat.
- Add the diced sweet potato to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sweet potato becomes tender and starts to brown, about 8-10 minutes.
- Add the remaining tablespoon of coconut oil to the skillet.
- Add the diced onions and cook for about 3-4 minutes, until they begin to soften and become translucent.
- Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for another 3-4 minutes, until they start to release their moisture and brown slightly.
- Stir in the chopped spinach and cook until it wilts, about 2 minutes.
- Add the crumbled tofu to the skillet and mix well with the vegetables. Cook for another 4-5 minutes, allowing the tofu to absorb flavors and heat through.
- Sprinkle a dash of salt and a dash of black pepper over the scramble.
- Mix everything together and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to ensure even seasoning.
- Taste and adjust salt and pepper if needed.
- Transfer the tofu scramble to plates and serve hot. Enjoy your nutritious and delicious meal!
Tips:
- Press the tofu to remove excess water before cooking to achieve a better texture.
- Cut the sweet potato into small, even pieces to ensure they cook evenly and more quickly.
- Sauté the onions and mushrooms first to enhance their flavor before adding other ingredients.
- Add the spinach towards the end of cooking to retain its bright green color and nutrients.
- Feel free to customize the seasoning with other spices such as turmeric, garlic powder, or nutritional yeast for added flavor.
