Ingredients:

1 small handful of fresh coriander finely chopped

1 green pepper diced

1 – 1 ½ cups broccoli florets chopped finely

1 small handful Swiss chard leaves shredded (place stems apart and dice)

2 tomatoes diced

800g tofu drained and crumbled with the back of a fork

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon sesame oil

3½-4 tablespoons tamari sauce

¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

⅛ teaspoon black salt (kala namak) – optional if you want the egg like taste

3 tablespoons nutritional yeast

2 teaspoons garlic powder

1 teaspoon mustard seeds

1 teaspoon black cumin seeds

1 teaspoon coriander seeds

¼ teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried oregano

¼ cup mineral water

1 pinch sea salt

 

 

Preparation:

1. Heat up some olive oil in a large wok on a high heat. As soon as the oil becomes hot add in the coriander seeds, the mustard seeds and the black cumin seeds. Stir for about 30 seconds until the aroma starts to release.
2. Add in the rest of the olive oil, the stems of the Swiss chard, the crumbled tofu and the tamari sauce together with the diced tomatoes. Once these ingredients have started to soften (around 5 minutes) add in the water and continue to cook for about 3-4 minutes.
3. Now add in the shredded chard, the sesame oil and all the rest of the ingredients except for the pinch of sea salt, the fresh coriander and the nutritional yeast. Cook for about 10-12 minutes until the tofu starts to become crispy.

All green vegetables contain chlorophyll which some small studies have shown could possibly decrease your risk of developing various types of cancer.

 

Where does your protein come from?

It comes form a combination of the tofu and the nutritional yeast both of which are complete proteins and both of which are high in protein as well.
