Semi Spicy Lentil Stew

My own creation. I was to lazy to make a fancy dinner so I rummaged through the fridge and ate the result. It turned out delicious!
Ingredients
1 or 2 egg/s, lightly scrambled
1/3 cube tofu or 1 roughly one cup tofu
3/4 cup vegetable stock
1 cup pre-cooked lentils
1/4 tsp salt plus more to taste
1/4 tsp curry powder
1/2-1 tsp cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp fennel seed (optional)
Parsley to garnish
Method
Prep tofu by chopping it into large cubes. You may fry the tofu before hand or not. Place tofu in bowl on the side. Mix cayenne pepper, curry powder and fennel in bowl. Place aside. Pour vegetable stock in a pot and turn heat to medium-high, stirring occasionally. Once stock begins to boil on the edges, pour in scrambled egg/s and let egg/s cook. Once egg/s are cooking, add salt and tofu, lowering heat to medium. Stir mixture occasionally for 2-3 minutes. Add cooked lentils and spices. Turn heat to high and cook for 3-4 more minutes. Serve hot over fresh, steamed rice with toasted pita bread. Garnish with parsley if desired.
Note: The amount of spices can be changed, depending on how spicy you like your food.
