SPICY SCRAMBLED TOFU

Brimming with flavour this is a quick, tasty and fulfilling breakfast that will warm you up for the rest your day. You can of course use eggs if you don’t have tofu, just make sure to stir through the whisked eggs into the frying pan rigorously to ensure they don’t set too quickly at end up as more of a spiced-up omelette… although I guess that would be pretty tasty too!
