Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika

Preparation

  1. Chop bell pepper and onion. 
  2. Sauté bell pepper, onion and kale with olive oil on medium heat for about 5 minutes. 
  3. Blend tofu, chickpea flour, cornstarch, almond milk, and seasoning in blender until smooth.

  5. Uncover, flip over and cook for about 10 minutes. If you have trouble flipping it over, simply stir it and cook like scrambled eggs.

Helpful hints

  • Make sure to use silken tofu, not regular tofu for this recipe. Silken tofu should be low in sodium, but always double check the nutrition label.
  • Use a good non-stick pan. If you divide the ingredients in half and use a smaller pan, it will be easier to flip over.
  • Use a tiny sprinkling of Indian black salt (Kala Namak) as an option for a sulfur egg-like flavor.
