Ingredients

1 small onion diced
1 bell red pepper diced
2 cloves of garlic crushed
2 tsp curry powder or to taste
½ tsp paprika
¼ tsp turmeric powder
1 bloc firm or extra firm tofu (about 16 oz) drained and patted dry
2-3 cups baby spinach

Instructions

Warm up a large non stick pan with a little oil and then, add the onion, red pepper and a pinch of salt. Cook on medium heat for about 5-7 minutes stirring often.
Then, add the garlic and spices (curry, paprika and turmeric). Stir well and keep cooking for another minute.
Once fragrant, then crumble the tofu right over the pan using your hands/fingers. The pieces might start a little too big, but you can keep breaking them up using a wooden spoon.
Stir and keep cooking for another 7-10 minutes or until the tofu is warmed up and slightly roasted. If the pan gets too dry while cooking, then add a splash of water to the pan.
Add the baby spinach and cook until wilted, about 1 more minute. Then, taste and adjust salt and curry powder to your liking.
Serve while still warm with bread and avocado or stuff in a tortilla sandwich wrap.

Notes

Store in an air-tight container in the fridge for 4-5 days. Reheat in the microwave or using the stove. Can also be frozen.
Feel-free to use other vegetables, such as mushrooms, green peas, tomatoes or baby kale.
Different brands of curry powder differ in flavor, so make sure to taste and adjust how much you want to add (mine gave me a tofu scramble rather mild).
