Steps

  1. Prep first: pat the tofu dry, slice the red bell pepper, green bell pepper and red onion, grate the ginger, mince the garlic and chop the cilantro.
  2. Heat half of the canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the red bell pepper, green bell pepper and red onion and cook without stirring for 2 minutes, then stir and cook 4 more minutes until charred at the edges and tender. Move the red bell pepper, green bell pepper and red onion to a plate.
  3. Lower the heat to medium and add the remaining half of the canola oil. Stir in the ginger and garlic for 30 seconds, then the curry powder and cumin for 15 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Crumble the tofu into the skillet in bite-size pieces. Season with the salt and black pepper and cook, turning occasionally, for 6 to 8 minutes until lightly golden.
  5. Pour in the coconut milk and stir until the tofu is coated and creamy, about 1 minute. Return the cooked red bell pepper, green bell pepper and red onion to the skillet and toss until hot.
  6. While the scramble finishes, toast the whole-wheat bread until crisp.
  7. Take the skillet off the heat, stir in the lime juice and scatter the cilantro over the top. Serve the scramble with the toast, two slices per plate.
