Scrambled Tofu Breakfast Bowl

I’m so into breakfast lately. It’s been many years given that I was fired up about breakfast for far more than a day or two. A couple of months in the past we switched from consuming Large mugs of coffee 1st factor in the morning, to consuming a number of teeny tiny espresso-sized cups of coffee. Given that that tiny alter, my morning caffeine intake is significantly less of a JOLT and much more of a slow and regular drip into my program. Aside from having to fight the mind-boggling urge to down my small shot-sized coffee in a single gulp and violently slam the empty cup on the counter whilst yelling, “ANOTHER!”, it’s been a rather pleasant modify.

Now I truly have room for breakfast in the morning and I’ve been on a savoury meals kick. Sweet breakfasts just don’t sound right to me. We’ve been eating a entire lotta tofu, in breakfast sandwiches, tofu scrambles, and hashes.  Today I’m sharing a delicious tofu scramble breakfast bowl. Recently, I’ve been leaning towards the comfort foods side of items, not the light “January foods” side of factors. I consider this recipe strikes a healthful stability amongst the two.

We commence with a bed of total wheat couscous. I’m a fan of entire wheat couscous – it’s full of fibre and protein, helps make a cost-efficient substitute for quinoa, and it’s fast to put together. William and I are thankful to have no actual cause to stay away from gluten and couscous is a mainstay in our diet plan.

Layer garlicky sautéed kale and mushrooms (white button and Cremini), and scrambled tofu onto your grain of decision. For the scramble, the tofu is pressed, crumbled, and sautéed until finally golden brown. It’s flavoured with a thick sauce of dietary yeast, turmeric, kala namak, garlic powder, onion powder, and water. The kala namak (black salt) provides a pungent, sulfurous flavour that’s reminiscent of the flavour of eggs.

Best this savoury breakfast bowl with your favourite fresh toppings to feel like a appropriate “healthy breakfast individual”. I utilised halved grape tomatoes, sliced green onion (a necessity), pea sprouts and a sprinkle of not-as well-sweet granola for crunch (Nature’s Path Pumpkin Flax granola). I would’ve extra some chopped avocado but sadly all the ones I had on hand were hard as rock

For an Instagram-worthy breakfast bowl, cook the tofu, kale and mushrooms individually (as explained in the recipe.) For something quickly and straightforward: brown the tofu slightly, then cook the kale and mushrooms alongside the tofu, and coat all three elements with the “scramble sauce”. Not as pretty, but damn scrumptious.
