Sikreto ni Lola's Sinangag with Tofu Scramble and Atsara
"A deconstructed and diabetes-friendly take on the classic Filipino breakfast. Instead of white rice, we use cauliflower rice for a low-carb base, paired with a savory tofu scramble and a refreshing, homemade atsara (pickled papaya). This dish offers stable energy without the blood sugar spike."
Preparation Steps
Prepare the cauliflower rice: Pulse cauliflower florets in a food processor until they resemble rice grains. Alternatively, use a box grater.
Heat 1/2 tbsp coconut oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and onion and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes, or until tender-crisp and slightly browned. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1/2 tbsp coconut oil over medium heat.
Add the crumbled tofu, soy sauce, nutritional yeast (if using), and turmeric powder. Stir and cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking up the tofu further, until it's heated through and lightly golden.
Season the tofu scramble with salt and pepper to taste.
To serve, arrange the cauliflower sinangag on a plate. Top with the tofu scramble. Serve immediately with a side of atsara and garnish with fresh cilantro.
