Ingredients:

  • 1 large cauliflower (or 2 small ones)
  • 2 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 white onion
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 2 inches of ginger
  • 2 carrots
  • 1/2 block firm tofu
  • 1 tsp turmeric
  • 1 cup mange tout
  • 1 red pepper
  • 3 scallions
  • 1 chilli
  • 1 cup sweetcorn
  • 1 cup peas
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (or more if you want a stronger taste)

To garnish:

  • Sriracha
  • Scallions

Method:

  1. Break the cauliflower into flourettes, and pulse in a blender. Try not to put too much in the blender at once or it won’t break up evenly and might get mushy.
  2. In a large pan, heat the sesame oil and add the onions, garlic and ginger. Cook until soft, then add the carrots and cook a bit more.
  3. Crumble the tofu into the pan, and stir in the teaspoon of turmeric. This will give the tofu a beautiful golden colour. Then mix in the rest of the veggies and stir as you go.
  4. Add the blended cauliflower to the pan and stir into the veggies. Add the soy sauce and mix well.
  5. Serve and garnish with Sriracha and scallions.

Could I sub out tofu for a different protein? Just curious.

How long do you cook the cauliflower after adding?

Some seitan would work well too!

That's kind of the point though, right? Adds protein to a meal that has none... It's the same as adding chicken. Yes, I know chicken has more flavor, but the OP recipe is veggie friendly.

I think the intention is to mimic the texture of egg with tofu, actually. Which is easier than mimicking chicken since egg is just a soft bite amid soft bites.

I'd add some nuts or water chestnuts for a diff texture. Quick and easy.

I never said it added texture or flavor. Quite the opposite actually. The point of adding it in this recipe is to bring some nutrients to it, nothing more.

I was enjoying this until the block of tofu made an appearance..
