Tofu Scramble

Allison Crawford at The Hungry Carrot
This tofu scramble is such a wonderfully versatile and delicious breakfast that goes great on toast, topped on a bagel, or all on its own. Use whatever veggies you have on hand for a nutritious and filling meal.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 14 oz extra-firm tofu
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 cup onion
  • 1/2 tomato- diced
  • 1/2 cup mushrooms- diced
  • 2 green onions- diced
  • 3 cup spinach
  • 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 1 tsp turmeric
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp chili flakes (optional)
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Heat the olive oil over medium heat and saute the onion for 5-7 minutes or until translucent.
  • While the onions soften, press your tofu using a tofu press or with a clean kitchen towel and a heavy object like a dinner plate.
  • Add the mushroom and green onion to the pan and saute for another 3-4 minutes until the mushrooms soften.
  • Crumble in your tofu. Add the nutritional yeast, onion powder, garlic powder, turmeric, chili flakes if using, and salt and pepper. Mix well until the tofu turns yellow and most of the moisture is evaporated.
  • Add the spinach and tomatoes and heat until the spinach is wilted.
  • Enjoy while hot on its own, topped on a bagel, or on toast. Add avocado, hot sauce, or any topping you like.

Notes

  • This keeps in the fridge for 4-5 days but sadly I would not recommend freezing.
