Spanish scrambled tofu

Serves: 4
Prep: 10
Cook: 5

    This Spanish inspired quick and easy egg substitute recipe is an awesome breakfast for Vegans or those looking to reduce the intake of eggs in their diet. Turmeric gives it a yolk-yellow colour and the crumbled tofu gives it a similar texture to scrambled egg. It is protein packed and a great fuel for your body.
