Scrambled Tofu with Whole Wheat Toast and Avocado

Ingredients

• firm tofu 150 g
• olive oil 1 tsp
• whole wheat toast 1 slice
• avocado 100 g
• diced tomatoes 1/4 cup

Method

1. Prepare the tofu. Drain the firm tofu well by wrapping it in a clean kitchen towel or paper towels and gently pressing to remove excess moisture. Then crumble the tofu into small pieces using your hands or a fork to create a scrambled texture.
   Tip: Removing excess water helps the tofu absorb flavors better and improves the texture when cooking.
2. Cook the tofu scramble. Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the crumbled tofu. Stir frequently and cook for about 7-8 minutes until the tofu is heated through and slightly golden. You can season with salt and pepper to taste if desired.
   Tip: Use a spatula to gently break up the tofu while cooking to mimic scrambled eggs.
3. Toast the bread. While the tofu cooks, toast one slice of whole wheat bread until golden and crisp using a toaster or oven.
   Tip: Toast the bread just before serving to keep it crispy.
4. Prepare avocado and tomatoes. Slice about 1/4 of an avocado into thin slices. Measure 1/4 cup of diced fresh tomatoes and set aside.
   Tip: Use ripe avocado for creamy texture and sweet flavor.
5. Assemble the dish. Place the toasted whole wheat bread on a plate. Top with the scrambled tofu. Arrange the sliced avocado on the side and sprinkle the diced tomatoes over or beside the tofu scramble. Serve immediately.
   Tip: You can add a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or chives for extra flavor.
