Why? Tofu swaps in an egg's worth of volume: protein stays, fat drops, and the plate looks twice as generous — visual abundance matters on a deficit.Tip: The drier the tofu, the silkier (not watery) the scramble.
Next up:Nonstick pan, low heat: oil, tomato for 1 min, then the tofu until warmed through.

Why? Tomato first releases its juices — that's your silky-egg moisture, no butter or cream required.Next up:Pour in the eggs; on low heat, slowly push from the edges to the centre. Kill the heat while they're still slightly glossy.
Pour in the eggs; on low heat, slowly push from the edges to the centre. Kill the heat while they're still slightly glossy.
Why? Eggs keep cooking off the heat (carry-over). If they look perfect in the pan, they'll be overdone on the plate — killing the heat 30 s early is the entire secret of silky eggs.Watch out: Low heat throughout. High-heat 'scramble' = omelette chips.Next up:Pile the scramble onto the toast; scatter the spring onion.
Pile the scramble onto the toast; scatter the spring onion.
Why? This plate holds ~27 g protein + 6 g fibre — twice the staying power of kaya-butter toast for 100+ fewer kcal.Tip: Add a few drops of sriracha or 1 tsp sambal if you want heat.
