Method

Step 1

Put all the spices in a bowl and mix well.

Step 2

Spray a large non-stick frying pan with a couple of pumps of low-calorie cooking spray and put it over a medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms, peppers, spring onions, ginger, garlic and chilli and fry for about 8 minutes, or until everything just starts to brown.

Step 3

Using your fingers, crumble in the tofu to get a nice ‘scrambled egg’ texture. Stir in the spice mix and stir-fry for another 6-8 minutes.

Step 4

Season with pepper to taste and scatter over the dill to serve.
