Scrambled Tofu w/ Arugula, Mushrooms And Cranberries.

And it's time again for a scrambled tofu variation!

Today I had a very savoury, crispy kind of scrambled tofu.
Here we go:

- 200g firm tofu
- 2-3 big button mushrooms
- 3 tbsp breadcrumbs
- 2 tbsp dried cranberries
- lime juice (of half a lime)
- arugula
- oil
- rosemary salt
- one clove garlic


First heat 1-2 tbsp oil in a pan and add the smashed (and or minced) garlic clove. Crumble the tofu and add together with the sliced mushrooms and bread crumbs, let fry for a few minutes without stirring on medium heat. Add some salt, then stir and add cranberries. Fry til tofu is golden brown and add the fresh lime juice. Then serve on a big handful of arugula salad. I guess I say this very often, but this combination of flavours is just perfect. The breadcrumbs bring a very crunchy consistency, the arugula is slightly bitter and tangy and the cranberries and lime juice add a nice freshness.

Scrambled tofu.

Haven't posted a lot of scrambled tofu variations recently, not only because I was getting tired of posting about it, I really hadn't scrambled tofu that often. But today is a scrambled tofu day! A scrambled tofu with smoked salt day!

The smoked salt is not as obtrusive and outstanding as the smoked paprika I have. The smoky flavour is a bit more subtle and goes along pretty well with the tofu. And no, it does not taste like smoked tofu in the end, it's different.

- firm tofu
- smoked salt
- fennugreek
- 1 tsp mustard
- a few roasted cashews
- scallions
- oil

Heat oil in a pan and crumble the tofu into the pan. Fry for about 3 minutes, than add spices and nuts, stir well.
Turn the heat off and mix with chopped scallions.

Talk is just convention.

Scrambled tofu made from silken tofu. Was very good but I still like it more with firm tofu. 
Together with a cucumber sandwich. 

Hoummous made with lots of wood garlic.

Hoummous with mint and garlic greens on bagel. Orange juice. Cappuccino.

Quite new hair. Carnation pink (mixed with lavender) and tourquois.

The garden sorrel is growing, 3 weeks or so ago it looked like this. 
The tree in the background is full of chirping sparrows. Have I mentioned, that I love sparrows? I love sparrows.

The cat is perfectly alright at the moment. It's sometimes heartbreaking to look at him, though.

A few minutes before our recent radio show in April (DIY OR DIE). Bored and tired and excited, waiting to get into the studio. I like that moment.

Orange-Sage Scrambled Tofu.

- 200g tofu

- piece of ginger

- some fresh leaves of sage

- 1 orange

- salt, pepper

- dash of smoked paprika (optional, use regular paprika otherwise)

- 1 tblsp oil

Heat the oil and fry crumbled tofu on medium heat. Grate a big piece of ginger and add together with salt, pepper and (if you have some) smoked paprika to tofu. Stir well.

Peel the orange and cut out the filets. This is way easier as it sounds, but you need a very sharp, big knife otherwise you'll just have a mushy lump of orange in your hand.

Then cut the sage into thin stripes and add together with orange filets to tofu, the tofu should already have some golden brown spots. Stir carefully and fry for another 5 minutes on medium to low heat.

Even if you don't have smoked paprika this dish has a warm hearty flavour by the sage, while orange and ginger give a fresh and fruity (but not very sweet) note.

I love scrambled tofu and always try new variations. Most of the time I don't have an idea beforehands, I just have the idea that I want scrambled tofu.

Of course I have a basic recipe, but sometimes I want a new flavor - then I'll throw in whatever I have in the kitchen and might be suitable. 

This was one of the best scrambled tofu variations I've ever had and I'll defintively keep that in mind. Yum!

Scrambled Tofu w/ Potatoes.

Potatoes and tofu are two of the best inventions ever!

- 1 large potato

- 200g tofu

- 1 tbsp margarine

- seasalt, fresh ground pepper, paprika, curry powder, vegetable broth

Grate the potato and fry for two minutes in margarine ( I didn't peel it. Depends on the potato.) Add crumbled tofu and fry for about 10 minutes on medium heat. Add spices to taste (I just used a hint of curry) and stir occasionally. That's it.

Scrambled tofu day aka Sunday.

This time with a roughly grated carrot, a hint of curry, salt, a dash soymilk, a teaspoon olive oil.

Scrambled tofu again and again!

This time with dried tomatoes (marinated in oil, herbs and garlic), thyme and chives, a bit of salt and pepper. With a big glass of chilled orange juice for breakfast.

Tofu Scramble.

This time with edamame, white mushrooms and sweet-and-sour-chili-sauce.

Just another scrambled tofu.

This time with onions, a little chicory and parsley. Ate it with a sesame bagel with mango-chili-spread, a big cappuccino and cold orange juice. Saturdays can be so great.

Scrambled Tofu.

This was my last sunday breakfast. Great for hanging around
on a lazy sunny afternoon. Just go back to bed after enjoying this.

200g tofu
50g edamame (frozen)
1 tomato
garlic
salt, pepper, basil, kohlrabi leaves

Crumble tofu and fry in a little olive oil. Add garlic and edamame till tofu is
golden. Season to taste with salt, pepper, paprika, vegetable broth, soysauce
or whatever, add finely diced tomato and turn off heat. Carefully fold in tomato
and herbs. Scrambled tofu is great and you can create thousands of variations,
so just try and check out which is your favorite one!
