Scrambled Tofu


Description

Super simple, versatile and fast way to prepare tofu and it's really hard to get wrong and makes a great vegan breakfast. Nutritional yeast in the ingredients - it’s a natural food derived from yeast, totally optional, but it does add a savoury (some call it cheesy) element to the scramble. You can buy it at natural food stores.

Ingredients

450g of tofu, firm
1 onion, diced
1 tbsp soy sauce
1/2 tsp turmeric
3 tbsp of nutritional yeast, optional
1 tbsp olive oil
Salt and black pepper

Variation of veg:
Mushrooms, tomatoes and kale, parsley
Peppers, jalapeños, tomato, cilantro
Mushrooms, peas, tomato, cauliflower curry powder
Cabbage, carrots, cilantro
Broccoli, red pepper, corn, lemon zest, red chilli, basil
Peppers, potatoes, tomato, parsley or cilantro

Accoutrements:
Bread, toasted
Corn tortillas, or flour tortillas
Avocado
Selection of seeds, toasted
Chutney
Tomatoes, fresh, chopped
Salsa
Chilli

Directions

1. Place a frying pan over a medium heat and add the olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the onion and cook until soft and translucent.

2. Using your hands, crumble the tofu into the pan and sprinkle on the turmeric. At this point, the tofu might give up a lot of water. If so, turn up the heat and let the water boil off. This is key to not ending up with soggy tofu.

3. Add the soy sauce, vegetable combination of your choice and any seasoning you’re using (except fresh herbs) and cook until veggies are tender, stirring every so often. If using potato, cook the potato ahead - this is a great use for leftover roast or boiled potatoes.

4. Sprinkle on the nutritional yeast and fresh herbs. Mix well. Taste, adding salt, pepper and more seasoning as you see fit. Serve with your favourite accoutrements.

Enjoy!
