  • 4 spring onions
  • handful button mushrooms
  • olive oil
  • salt and pepper
  • teaspoon turmeric

Method

  1. Top and tail the spring onions and chop finely
  2. Finely chop the mushrooms
  3. Gently fry the onions and mushrooms in the oil
  4. Meanwhile, chop up the tofu and then mash with a fork
  5. Add the tofu to the frying pan
  6. Sprinkle the turmeric over the tofu and mix well
  7. Cook one side of the tofu for a few minutes
  8. Carefully turn over tofu and heat for a few more minutes
