Directions
- Press the tofu by sandwiching it between towels on a baking sheet with a weight on top, while you prepare the other ingredients.
- Stir together mayonnaise with curry powder and a pinch of salt and set the curry mayo aside.
- Rinse and dry the vegetables, then trim and seed the bell pepper and cut it into small dice.
- Cut the green onions into thin crosswise slices and add them to a separate bowl with the diced pepper.
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and swirl in a little oil to coat the bottom.
- Add the diced pepper and green onion to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 2–3 minutes.
- Crumble the tofu directly into the skillet and season with turmeric and a bit of pepper and salt; cook, stirring occasionally, until warmed through and lightly golden, 3–4 minutes.
- Thinly slice the tomato and set aside.
- Toast the buns if you like a crisper base.
- Spread each bun with curry mayo, layer with tomato slices, then top with the tofu scramble from the pan.
- Serve immediately and enjoy.
Two tips
- Press the tofu for a longer time if you have it available to speed up the final crumble.
- Use any extra buns to make leftovers or swap in a different bun type for variety.
