Vegan Tofu Scramble: A Flavorful Breakfast

Tofu Scramble Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 block (14 oz) firm or extra-firm tofu
• 1 tablespoon olive oil (or any cooking oil)
• 1/2 onion, diced
• 1 bell pepper, diced (any color)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon turmeric powder (for color)
• 1 teaspoon cumin (optional)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast (optional, for a cheesy flavor)
• Fresh spinach or kale (optional)
• Fresh herbs (like cilantro or parsley) for garnish

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Tofu:
   • Drain the tofu and press it gently to remove excess moisture. Crumble the tofu into small pieces using your hands or a fork.
2. Sauté the Vegetables:
   • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are soft.
3. Add Garlic and Spices:
   • Add the minced garlic, turmeric, cumin (if using), salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant.
4. Add the Tofu:
   • Add the crumbled tofu to the skillet. Stir well to combine and cook for about 5-7 minutes, allowing the tofu to absorb the flavors. If using, add nutritional yeast and mix well.
5. Add Greens:
   • If you want to add spinach or kale, stir it in and cook until just wilted.
6. Serve:
   • Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve warm.

Tips:

• Serve your tofu scramble on toast, in a wrap, or alongside avocado and tomatoes.
• Feel free to add other vegetables like mushrooms, zucchini, or broccoli for extra nutrition.

Enjoy your delicious and nutritious tofu scramble!
