Description
This recipe, “Tofu Scramble,” offers a plant-based alternative to scrambled eggs, using crumbled tofu as the base and a blend of spices to mimic the flavor and texture of the classic breakfast dish.
Ingredients
- 1 block firm tofu, drained and crumbled
- 1 onion, diced
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 1 cup spinach
- 1 tsp turmeric
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
-
Prepare Tofu: Drain the tofu and press it to remove excess water. You can do this by wrapping the tofu in paper towels or a clean kitchen towel and placing a heavy object on top for 15-20 minutes. Then, crumble the tofu into small, bite-sized pieces.
-
Sauté Vegetables: In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper, and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
-
Add Tofu and Spices: Add the crumbled tofu, turmeric, cumin, nutritional yeast, salt, and pepper to the pan. Stir well to combine.
-
Cook Tofu: Cook for another 5-7 minutes, or until the tofu is heated through and slightly browned, stirring occasionally.
-
Add Spinach: Add the spinach to the pan and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
-
Serve: Serve the tofu scramble hot, optionally with toast, avocado slices, salsa, hot sauce, or your favorite toppings.
