If you are conscious about your protein intake this recipe is for you. I pimped up the tofu with chickpeas and kale, both good source of protein (especially the chickpeas) and I love to serve it with some quinoa which is another excellent plant source of protein and I think it really works with the consistency of the tofu. If you have any ripe avocados hanging around feel free to add them to the bowl, it will be so delicious, I just didn’t have any on hand 🙂 I love adding a spoonful of kimchi for that extra heat bit if that’s not your thing leave it out.

Ingredients:

Serve 2

For the tofu scramble:

A block of firm tofu (about 280-300g) 

2 tbsp of nutritional yeast 

1 tsp of garlic powder 

1 tsp of onion powder

1/2 tsp of turmeric 

2 handful of chopped kale or baby spinach 

1/2 tin (400g) of chickpeas – drained and rinsed

A dash of plant milk (i have used oat)

200g of chestnut mushrooms – sliced

1 tbsp of olive oil 

1 tbsp of soy sauce 

150g of cherry tomatoes – cut in half

1/2 cucumber – cut into small slices 

1 cup of cooked quinoa
