Kale, Tofu & Eggs

Kale, Tofu & Eggs
Author: Hip Foodie Mom

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon of olive oil plus a little more for the eggs
  • 2 cups of kale chopped
  • 1/2 cup tofu cubed
  • 1 teaspoon low sodium soy sauce
  • a dash of sesame oil optional but highly recommended
  • 1-2 eggs
  • Salt and pepper; as needed

Instructions

  • Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium high heat. Add the chopped kale and cubed tofu and season with the soy sauce and sesame oil. Saute until the kale is a little wilted and the tofu is browned, about 4-5 minutes.
  • In a separate pan, cook your eggs. You can cook them anyway you like, but I recommend over easy or sunny side up. To cook your eggs sunny side up, add a little olive oil to your pan.  You need just enough to coat the pan. Heat the oil until it is just hot enough to sizzle a drop of water.
  • Crack the egg gently so that it breaks in half and drop into the pan. Immediately lower the heat and continue the remaining cooking over low heat. Repeat with any additional eggs, making sure to space them far enough apart so that the whites don't touch.
  • Consider covering the pan
  • "Covering the pan can accelerate the cooking process but you must be careful to avoid overcooking the yolks. If you cover the pan, the top of the whites (including the layer over the yolk) cooks and turns white and firm, rather than remaining clear and slippery. This is more similar to over-easy eggs, which are actually flipped over so that the "sunny" side cooks."
  • Cook the eggs until the whites and yolk reach the desired consistency. When finished, remove from the pan. Serve on top of the bed of kale and tofu. Season with salt and pepper.

    I LOVE eggs in any way, shape or form. This dish looks delicious and so healthy! And you adapted this recipe from Food Loves Writing, which is one of my favourite blogs. Isn’t Shanna the best writer? I can just imagine breaking that yolk and having it ooze out over the kale for a rich, creamy sauce. Yum…

    So funny, Al! You know what’s funnier? I completely don’t remember that! Although, i do not dispute for one minute that I am an egg lover. I remember Sam saying you always made pasta with chicken or salad with chicken – or something like that. I think we’ve both come a LONG way from our single bachelorette pad days!

      MiJin, I remember it vividly! 🙂 In fact, I thought to myself, “Dang, she eats a lot of eggs!” 🙂 Seriously, I feel like every time you came around that corner from the kitchen, you had a plate of eggs! That’s all I remember you eating!
