Ingredients

firm tofu 150 g
diced bell peppers 1/2 cup
olive oil 1 tsp
whole wheat English muffin 1 piece

Method

Prepare the tofu. Drain the tofu and wrap it in a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Press gently to remove excess moisture. Then crumble the tofu into small pieces using your hands or a fork, resembling scrambled eggs.
Tip: Pressing the tofu helps it absorb flavors better and improves texture.
Prepare the bell peppers. Wash the bell peppers thoroughly. Remove the stem, seeds, and membranes. Dice them into small, even pieces about 1/2 inch in size for quick and even cooking.
Tip: Using mixed colors like red, yellow, and green bell peppers adds visual appeal and flavor variety.
Sauté the bell peppers. Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the diced bell peppers and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they soften slightly but still retain some crunch.
Tip: Keep stirring occasionally to prevent burning and promote even cooking.
Cook the scrambled tofu. Add the crumbled tofu to the skillet with the bell peppers. Stir well to combine. Cook for another 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the tofu is heated through and slightly golden. Optionally, season with salt and pepper to taste.
Tip: Use a spatula to gently break up tofu clumps as it cooks for a fluffy texture.
Toast the English muffin. While the tofu and peppers are cooking, split the whole wheat English muffin in half and toast it in a toaster or toaster oven until golden brown and crisp.
Tip: Toast the muffin just before serving for the best texture.
Serve and enjoy. Plate the scrambled tofu and bell peppers alongside the toasted English muffin. Optionally, add your favorite toppings like avocado slices or hot sauce for extra flavor.
Tip: Serve immediately while warm for the best taste and texture.

Press tofu well to remove excess water for better texture and flavor absorption.
