Scrambled Tofu Bagel

There's just something truly great about breakfast for dinner, it's quick, it's easy, and you can eat it in your pyjamas in front of the telly... it's just brilliant.

A few months ago in Amsterdam, a friend and I went out for lunch and I had a hummus and roast veggie bagel.

I think that was the moment I fell in love.. with bagels.

So I introduced my two loves together and said "Bagels, let me introduce you to someone very important to me... meet scrambled tofu". The two have been together ever since.

I've tried many different accompaniments with my scrambled tofu, I've even tried kiwi fruit and onions once (probably don't try this one, my taste buds are still trying to forgive me), in my defense my choices are usually based on whats left over in the fridge.

But my all time favourite is....

Curried Scrambled Tofu Bagels

To serve one lazy, hungry girl:

1 tsp olive oil
1/4 onion, diced
1 clove garlic, diced
1/4 red bell pepper, diced
1/2 cup of firm tofu, slightly mashed with a fork
1 tbs curry powder
1 tsp chilli powder
handful of coriander
Salt and Pepper

To Top:

Spinach or lettuce
Hummus
Mango chutney

Heat the oil in a frying pan. Add the onions and red bell pepper and saute for around 3-4 min, add the garlic, cook for another minute.
Add the tofu and continuously stir for about 5-8 minutes, add your herbs and spices and cook for another 2minutes.
Toast your bagel (co-operative supermarkets bagels are vegan), spread on your hummus, garnish with some salad, tip your tofu lovingly on top and finish it off with a big dollop of mango chutney.

Now you're already to curl up on the sofa in your pyjamas and watch a movie with your late night brekky.

  1. G'day tofu in the far north, love the inspirations from the chilly arctic climes and trust that some fine dishes are being contemplated for b'day celebrations. Enjoy the house and kitchen when it happens. There's always an open fire & camp oven for you here on the granite belt to trial a few recipes. cya B2
