Scrambled Tofu

This is probably our all time most often made recipe. My entire family loves scrambled tofu on the weekends. We will make fresh tortillas, home fries, sautéed greens, and/or chorizo crumbles for a super satisfying vegan breakfast. I hope you love it as much as we do!

Scrambled Tofu

Ingredients:

1 block extra firm tofu, drained

1 tsp olive oil
1/2 onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp cumin
1 tbsp nutritional yeast

1/4 cup water or vegetable broth
2 tbsp soy sauce

Directions:

Drain the tofu and set it aside. Heat the olive oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium-low. Add the diced onions and cook down until the onions have begun to soften and turn translucent. Next, add the garlic and let it cook for a minute or two more.

Now it is time to add the seasonings, I like to add them in with the onion and garlic so sprinkle the turmeric, cumin, and nutritional yeast into the pan and stir to distribute, then add the water or broth and soy sauce and mix again.

Finally, crumble the tofu into the pan and stir to coat with the seasonings. I just crumble it with my hands, but you can use a spoon, too. Once the tofu is heated through, it is ready to serve.

For 4 servings. Nutritional information from caloriecount.about.com.
