300 grams Boiled beans of your choice (soy beans, kidney beans, chickpeas, green peas, etc.)
200 grams Firm tofu
1 to 2 tablespoons Olive oil

1 medium Onion
4 Green bell pepper
2 tbsp Chili powder

2 leaves Bay leaves
1 tsp Oregano (dried)
2 tsp Soup stock granules
1 tbsp Japanese Worcestershire-style sauce
1 tbsp Soy sauce

1
Break the tofu roughly into pieces, wrap in a paper towel, and heat in the microwave for 5 minutes at 600w.
2
Finely mince the garlic then mince the onion and green pepper.
3
Put the tofu in a Teflon-coated pan and stir fry while breaking it up into crumbles.
4
Fry until the liquid is gone and remove from heat.
5
Using the same pan, fry the garlic in olive oil, and when it becomes fragrant, add onions and fry over low heat until soft.
6
Add green peppers, Step 3, chili powder, and cumin and briskly stir-fry together in a pan.
7
Add the ingredients and heat over high heat until it boils, then reduce the heat to low.
8
Continue cooking for about 15 minutes.
9
Stir occasionally to avoid burning.
10
Add beans and simmer for another 15 to 20 minutes.
11
When the liquid disappears, add Krazy Salt and black pepper to taste.
12
It's done when it looks like this.
13
If the beans appear to be too hard, add more water and simmer.
14
Although I don't make chili con carne much, green peas are tasty!
15
Sprinkle with a bit of grated cheese for a delicious finish!
16
It also tastes good chilled.
17
I like to eat it with brown rice.
18
For breakfast, I spread the rest on bread for a tasty sandwich.
19
Since you can also freeze this, prepare a large amount to have some for leftovers.
20
To make a perfect snack, use it as a dip for tortilla chips!
