Time 15m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 4

8 ounces firm tofu (225 g)
1/4 tsp salt, see notes
1/4 tsp turmeric powder, see notes
1/8 tsp ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Chop the tofu and use a fork to crumble it into bite-sized pieces.
  • Add some oil to a frying pan and when it's hot, add the tofu and all the remaining ingredients (salt, turmeric powder, and ground black pepper). Stir until well combined and cook over medium-high heat for 5 to 10 minutes. Stir occasionally.
  • Serve your tofu scramble immediately (I served my tofu scramble over some toasted bread and topped it with fresh parsley) with fresh fruit, vegan bacon, or vegan sausage as part of a vegan brunch. You can also serve it with vegan pancakes, vegan crepes, vegan banana bread, and coffee or juice.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week. You can also prepare the tofu before cooking and freeze it for up to 5 months. On the other hand, you can also freeze your tofu scrambled eggs after cooking. If you do, the tofu will get a chewier texture, although the eggy flavor won't change. It can be reheated in the microwave or on the stovetop over medium heat until warmed through. Add a little oil, water, or vegetable stock if needed.

Time 15m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 onion, diced
1/2 green bell pepper, diced
1 block tofu, drained and pressed
2 tablespoons oil, or margarine
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon turmeric, optional
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Prepare the tofu. Like most tofu recipes, the scramble will taste best by pressing the tofu first.
  • Slice the tofu into approximately 1-inch cubes once it has been well pressed.
  • Crumble the tofu slightly using either hands or a fork to get the right consistency for a scramble.
  • Heat the oil or margarine in a large skillet or frying pan and sauté the chopped onion, pepper, and crumbled tofu for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
  • Add the garlic powder, onion powder, and soy sauce and reduce the heat down to medium. Allow tofu to cook 5 to 7 more minutes, stirring frequently and adding a bit more oil if needed.
  • Add the nutritional yeast and stir to combine, making sure the tofu is well coated.
  • Serve just as it is, top it off with salsa, wrap it up in a warmed flour tortilla with a bit of salsa for a breakfast burrito, or top with soy or dairy cheese.
