Tofu & Soybean Scramble on Toast
The addition of cooked soybeans to a regular tofu scramble makes for a creamy-textured scramble. Did you know that the humble soybean is high in fibre, high in protein, low in saturated fat, a good source of omega-3 fatty acids, a source of antioxidants, and cholesterol free.
Serves 2 | Prep time: 10 mins | Cooking time: 10 mins
INGREDIENTS
Scramble
- 200g/7oz firm tofu
- 65g/2.3oz cooked soybeans*
- 1/2 Tbsp tamari sauce
- spices of choice (we used turmeric, cumin, cayenne pepper)
- 1 medium tomato
- 25g/0.9oz greens of leeks
- handful of fresh herbs of choice (we used parsley)
Serving suggestions
- toasted wholemeal bread
- sliced avocado
- lettuce
METHOD
- Soak dry soybeans overnight, then cook them ahead of time in a pressure cooker.
- Cube the tofu, then mash with a fork in a shallow bowl.
- Add the cooked soybeans, tamari sauce and spices of choice. Mix and mash some more.
- Dice the tomato, finely chop the leek greens and herbs, then add to the tofu mix and combine.
- In a heated pan add the scramble mix and cook for about 10 minutes. If you’re not using oil, add about a tablespoon of water to the pan while it’s heating, then add the scramble mix. Can add a little more water halfway through cooking so that the scramble remains moist.
- When it’s ready you can serve it on a slice of wholemeal (or GF) toasted bread, with avocado, lettuce or anything else you prefer.
Note (1): *Cook a batch of soybeans in a pressure cooker and use the required amount for the recipe. Refrigerate or freeze the rest to use in other recipes.
Note (2): 2 cups of dry soybeans yields approx. 6 cups of cooked soybeans.
