👩‍🍳 Jamie & Max: Wake-Up Call

Jamie: Max, this looks like scrambled eggs!

Chef Max: That’s the beauty of tofu. With the right spices, you won’t miss eggs at all. Ready?

Jamie: Always. What’s step one?

Chef Max: Crumble the tofu with your hands or a fork. Heat oil in a pan, add the tofu and cook for 2–3 minutes to remove excess moisture.

Jamie: Do I add all the spices at once?

Chef Max: Yep! Sprinkle turmeric, garlic powder, onion powder, chili flakes, and soy sauce. Stir well until it’s golden yellow and smells amazing.

Jamie: This is fast. Can I throw in veggies?

Chef Max: Absolutely. Toss in a handful of spinach or some chopped bell pepper in the last minute. Keep it fresh and colorful.
