Ingredients

  • Naturtofu (fest, zerbröselt)150 g
  • Vollkornbrot (2 Scheiben)80 g
  • Olivenöl8 g
  • Babyspinat40 g
  • Cherry-Tomaten (halbiert)60 g
  • Kurkuma, Kala Namak, Pfeffernach Geschmack

How to make it

  1. Crumble the tofu into the pan with your hands — coarse, not fine. Those uneven pieces are what makes it read as scrambled egg.
  2. Add the oil, medium heat, five minutes without much stirring. You want the tofu to lose water and pick up colour.
  3. Scatter in turmeric and pepper, toast briefly.
  4. Fold in cherry tomatoes and spinach, two minutes, until the spinach collapses.
  5. Off the heat, and only now the kala namak. Toast the bread and pile everything on.

My tip: Kala namak is a black Himalayan salt whose sulphur content makes it smell like boiled egg. It belongs at the end, not in a hot pan — heat drives the sulphur note off. And go easy: a small pinch covers the whole plate.

Iron & calcium. Tofu set with calcium sulphate carries a surprising amount of calcium — worth a look at the ingredient list. The iron in the tofu gets the tomatoes' vitamin C as an absorption helper. More in the Supplement Compass →
