Vegetarian Cooking… Try Something New for Breakfast

Next time you’re putting together a tofu scramble, try using soy flour instead of tofu. One-quarter cup of the dry flour has 10 grams of protein, 10 % of the daily requirement for calcium, 25% for iron, 14% for phosphorus and 30% for magnesium. I find that very impressive for something that is also quite tasty.

In a small cereal bowl, take a couple tablespoons of soy flour and add equal parts water. Mix it well with a fork. Add two raw eggs and mix well. Add a tablespoon of salsa and scramble that in. Cover the bowl with a small plate and microwave it for three-and-a-half minutes. When done, drizzle soy sauce on it. Serve with whole-wheat toast and fresh avocado slices.

Cooking With Soy Flour: More Protein for Vegetarians

Soy flour is inexpensive and you don’t need very much. It can be found at the natural foods store and will add protein to your breads, sauces and whatever you dream up. I like to mix a tablespoon and a half with two raw eggs and mix it up when I make omelets. In a cast iron skillet, sauté onions in the smallest amount of oil you can get by with then pour the soy egg mixture on top of the onions. Cook the bottom for a few minutes then place the skillet under the broiler for another few minutes to brown it lightly and cook the top. Turn the broiler off and remove the skillet and place sliced tomatoes and avocados on top. Sprinkle with a little soy sauce and you have a tasty omelet with soy protein that might be easier to digest than tofu.
