Method

• Heat the oil on a moderate heat in a large pan. Add the onion, garlic and chilli and cook gently until the onion is soft and the garlic has browned a little.
• Add the spices and stir. Leave to cook for a minute – this helps to release the flavours and prevent bitterness.
• Add the tofu and mash with a fork to break it down into smallish chunks. Stir to combine and leave to cook for a couple of minutes before adding the vinegar and soy/aminos. Stir again.
• Allow the scramble to cook gently for 20 minutes, or until you have the consistency you want. The longer you cook it, the drier it will be.
• To finish, add the thyme and black pepper.
