SIMPLE TOFU SCRAMBLE

Simple Tofu Scramble image

I love this simple way to make tofu taste great. It can be cooked precisely as-is, or used as a basic recipe that can be easily modified. I've served it for both breakfast and dinner with great success, even for those averse to meat substitution! Can be served on it's own or with brown rice and salsa for a full meal.

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

1 (12 ounce) package extra-firm tofu
½ small red onion, chopped
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons dry vegetable soup mix
1 tablespoon olive oil, or more as needed
4 sprigs chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

Place tofu onto a plate and place another plate on top. Set a 3- to 5-pound weight on top (a container filled with water works well). Press tofu for 20 to 30 minutes; drain and discard the accumulated liquid.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil and onion; saute until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add dry vegetable soup mix and stir to coat. Crumble tofu into the skillet; break apart any large chunks with a wooden spoon. Season with salt and pepper. Cook and stir until golden brown and flavors have been absorbed, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with parsley.
