Chinese Tofu Scramble

This recipe is for everyone who wants to spice up their tofu scramble game, or anyone else! It’s also perfect for those who have no idea what to do with tofu. 

Tofu is one of my favourite ingredients as it is super versatile and a nice source of vegan protein. They key lies in how it’s prepared. You can fry it, marinate it, add it to curries and soups, turn it into a dessert or turn it into a delicious scramble, just to name few examples. 

This scramble recipe is inspired by my Chinese heritage, using spring onions, 5 spice, sweet soy sauce and other delicious ingredients. 

It’s a very simple dish to prepare, you could even add this to your meal prep regimen as it’ll last for up to a week when stored in the fridge. Just preheat it and your meal will be ready in no time. 

You can add this on top of a toast, put it in a wrap, eat it next to rice, or any other way that comes to mind. Be creative and most importantly have some fun with it. 

Let’s get our scramble game on!
