A Spoonful of Health: Scrambled tofu

Ok, I need to start somehow…Of course it's all about diet, or mostly about healthy and calorie less food. I like to share own created recipes, giving ideas for low calorie and mostly vegetarian foods. I am going to post my daily dishes, describing how I made them, how may calories they are and something about the budget.

That blog is a non-official site for everybody who try to change to a healthier, but not distressed lifestyle.

A bit more about me: I am pretty picky on food, I don't really like meat, but I like sweets and like drinking nice beer, ale or wine. I really like all vegetables and always tried to make sure, that my food is as healthy as possible. And I know, my huge enemy are carbohydrates - such an ordinary woman…:)

So compare to all of that I keep an eye on my daily calories and exercises. I am using an application for counting calories (1200\day) and my own rules are: eating fruits till midday - nothing else, not eating any bread, pasta, pizza, etc (all good stuff:)) and avoiding sugar.

So if you still interested, follow my recipes and don't be shy to share yours, or comment on my notes.

Scrambled tofu

Ok, first of all, I totally forgot to take some pics during cooking yesterday...so I will steal from somewhere to illustrate...
I had some tofu at home, left from the weekend, so I decided to create something new from it. I haven't cooked with it before, and didn't know anything about it's different types, usage etc...
So I found out that my tofu is silk, which means it is soft, you can cook with it, but you can't bake it in whole cubes. Finally I have found lot of recipes for silk tofu, included "cheese" cake - I will definitely try it. Last evening it chose the scrambled tofu, and made some changes in the receipt. So let's see my version below.

Ingredients for 2
calories 210/portion
time: 10 minutes, budget £3

200 g silk tofu
1 onion
2tsp olive oil
150 g spinach
1 Californian paprika
8 cherry tomato or 1 normal tomato
(2 slice of dark rye cracker + 70 calories)

I fried the chopped onion on a tsp olive oil, added a half cup water, added the spinach (hand torn) and the chopped paprika. I was waiting while the spinach got soft. Than I added the chopped tomato. Quickly, in a separate bowl scramble the tofu with salt and a tsp olive oil. When the water totally evaporate from the pan, added the scrambled tofu and stir fry with the vegetables.

Now your scrambled tofu is ready. I put some lamb lettuce on to a plate, 2 slice of dark rye crackers and topped with a spoonful of health(y) scrambled tofu.

For my man, I fried 2 bacon to make him happy with some tasty meat. :)
