Recipe: Favorite Tofu Scramble

Tofu scramble and waffles with fresh strawberries

Every vegan seems to have their own take on tofu scramble.  Some like it spicy, while others prefer it savory.  After trying quite a few recipes, I finally found one I loved.  Based on a Nasoya tofu recipe, this version required only a few tweaks.  Click here for the original or read on for my take on Nasoya's recipe.

Ingredients:
1 12-oz package extra firm tofu, drained
1 tbsp canola oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1 small white onion, chopped
1/2 red pepper, chopped
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp turmeric
1/4 cup nutritional yeast

Steps:
1.  And oil two a large nonstick pan and heat.
2.  Add garlic, onion, and bell pepper.  Sauté for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
3.  Add the tofu to the pan, chopping into small pieces using a spatula.
4.  Sprinkle salt, turmeric, and nutritional yeast evenly over tofu. Mix well.
5.  Heat for about 8 minutes, or until the water from the tofu has evaporated.

Suggestions:

• I often use 1 cup of frozen onions and peppers (available at Whole Foods), in place of the fresh onion and pepper.
• You can also substitute dried garlic if you don't have fresh garlic on hand.
• Serve with waffles and fresh fruit, pancakes, or other breakfast foods
• See The Joy of Vegan Baking for the waffles pictured above (pg. 69), as well as a great pancake recipe (pg. 68)
