Tofu Scramble with Seared Shiitake and Caramelized Shallots

TOFU SCRAMBLE WITH SEARED SHIITAKE AND CARAMELIZED SHALLOTS


Ingredients

  • 2 small shallots, sliced
  • 4 large shiitake caps
  • 1/2 block tofu
  • 1 TB tahini
  • 1 tsp soy sauce
  • 1/8 tsp black salt
  • 1 tsp dried parsley or 1 TB fresh parsley, chopped
  • olive oil, for frying
  • salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. In a medium-sized skillet, heat a bit of oil over medium heat. Add in the shallots and saute until well caramelized, about 15-20 minutes. Only stir every 5 minutes or so.
  2. Once they are nicely caramelized, remove from the pan to cool.Increase the heat in the skillet to medium high. Add in the shiitake caps and saute until both sides are nicely seared, about 10 minutes. Remove from the pan to cool.
  3. Reduce the heat back to medium. Gently crumble the tofu into the pan and saute until some of the water has evaporated, about 5 minutes. Whisk together the tahini, soy sauce and black salt in a small bowl. Drop it into the tofu and stir until well-combined.
  4. Chop the shiitake into small pieces and add back into the pan. Saute for another minute and transfer to serving plates. Sprinkle with the caramelized shallots and parsley and salt and pepper if desired.
  5. Serve with toast and vegan bacon. Any leftovers reheat very well microwaved.
