- 40g/1½oz baby spinach leaves
- ½ tsp ground turmeric
- sea salt and ground black pepper
- 2 slices wholegrain sourdough, toasted or griddled, to serve
- grilled tomatoes, to serve
Method
Heat a tablespoon of oil in a medium frying pan. Mash the tofu with the back of a fork or a potato masher in a large bowl, until broken into small pieces, then add it to the frying pan.
Stir in the spring onions, spinach, turmeric, a good pinch of sea salt and lots of pepper.
Fry for 4–5 minutes, stirring constantly, until the tofu is creamy, flaky and yellow.
Drizzle the remaining oil on the sourdough, top with the tofu and serve with the grilled tomatoes.
Recipe Tips
To make the tofu taste ‘eggy’ you can add black salt (kala namak), which can be found online or at specialist Asian food stores.
