Spicy Tofu Scramble with Spinach and Sweet Potato

Ingredients

  • 17oz (500 g) firm tofu
  • 1 1/2 tsp (7 mL) garlic powder, divided
  • 1/2 tsp (2 mL) hot smoked paprika, divided
  • 1/2 tsp (2 mL) sweet smoked paprika, divided
  • 1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt, divided
  • 1/4 tsp (1 mL) mustard powder
  • 1/2 tsp (2 mL) ground turmeric
  • 1/4 tsp (1 mL) dried red pepper flakes
  • 2 Tbsp (30 mL) nutritional yeast
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp (22 mL) tahini
  • 3/4 cup (180 mL) oat milk
  • 1 cup (250 mL) finely diced sweet potato
  • 2 Tbsp (30 mL) extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • 1/4 cup (60 mL) sliced green onions
  • 2 cups (500 mL) baby spinach leaves

Directions

01

Lay folded kitchen towel on cutting board, place tofu on top, and drape end of kitchen towel overtop of tofu. Press tofu, to remove excess water, by placing cast iron pan or other heavy object on top. After 15 minutes, pat tofu dry and, using clean hands, break into crumbles the size of large breadcrumbs. Set aside.

02

Set out a small- and a medium-sized bowl and add 3/4 tsp (4 mL) garlic powder, 1/4 tsp (1 mL) hot paprika, 1/4 tsp (1 mL) sweet paprika, and 1/4 tsp (1 mL) salt to each one. Stir well to combine.

03

To small bowl containing garlic-paprika mixture, add mustard powder, ground turmeric, red pepper flakes, nutritional yeast, tahini, and oat milk. Whisk together to make a creamy sauce. Set aside.

04

To medium bowl containing garlic-paprika mixture, add sweet potatoes and 1 Tbsp (15 mL) olive oil, stirring well to coat with spice mixture.

05

Heat large nonstick pan on medium-high heat and add sweet potatoes. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes until soft and beginning to brown. Remove to plate and set aside.

06

Add remaining 1 Tbsp (15 mL) olive oil to pan and heat on medium-high. Add tofu and cook until light golden brown on both sides, stirring gently, being careful not to break up tofu too much. Once tofu is light golden brown, add sauce, and stir gently to coat. Add green onion and spinach, then re-introduce sweet potatoes, stirring to combine for a few minutes, until spinach begins to wilt. Serve immediately with whole grain toast or flour tortillas.
