Ingredients
- 4 oz. extra-firm tofu, drained and cubed
- 1 whole eggs or 2 egg whites
- 2 egg whites
- 1/4 tsp. ground turmeric
- 1/8 to 1/4 tsp. ground pepper
- 1/4 tsp. sea salt or 1 tsp. tamari
- 1/2 cup unsweetened tomato sauce
- 1/2 cup onion, cut in rings
- 2 cups chopped asparagus
- 1 cup yellow bell pepper strips
- 1 1/3 tsp. olive oil
Preparation
- In medium bowl, mash tofu with fork. Add egg and egg whites, turmeric, pepper and salt and mix well. Set aside. In small saucepan, gently warm tomato sauce over low heat.
- In steamer basket, layer vegetables. Set basket in 1 1/2-qt. Pot filled with 1/2-inch water. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and steam until just tender, 5 to 6 minutes. With large, slotted spoon, immediately transfer vegetables to serving plate.
- In 9-inch skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat until oil sizzles. (Pan must be hot or eggs will stick.) Tilt skillet to coat evenly.
- Pour in tofu-egg mixture all at once, then reduce heat to medium-low. As eggs begin to set up, push cooked portion aside with a spatula, then let uncooked portion run under. Repeat as eggs start to set up. Cook until eggs are cooked throughout but still glossy and moist, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Remove pan from heat. Transfer to plate and serve with tomato sauce.
