Easy Scrambled Tofu

One of my favorite meals of all time has got to be scrambled tofu. Since I became a vegan at a very young age, I really don’t remember how scrambled eggs taste. Instead, my earliest childhood memories of savory breakfasts nearly always include scrambled tofu.

I love all of it: the soft, chewy tofu and the crunchy, flavorful bell pepper and onions. I think it has even become a comfort food for me, because, after an exhausting day (yes, vacation can be exhausting) of traveling and worrying and missing my honey, I just want to eat some scrambled tofu.

I feel like joining the drooling ranks of my 4 month old daughter and drooling over this picture. I promise; this stuff is good.

Cuisine: American

Servings: 4

Calories: 157kcal

Author: Lindsay Reynolds

Ingredients

• ▢ 1.5 tablespoons oil (divided) (any neutral cooking oil will work)
• ▢ 1/2 onion chopped
• ▢ 1/4 red bell pepper chopped
• ▢ 16 ounces extra firm tofu
• ▢ 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• ▢ 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast flakes
• ▢ 2 tablespoons McKay’s chicken style seasoning (vegan variety)
• ▢ 1/8 teaspoon turmeric
• ▢ salt to taste

Instructions

• Heat 1/2 tablespoon oil in skillet for about 20 seconds before placing chopped onion and chopped bell pepper in pan. 
• Sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until onion is nearly clear. Place onion and bell pepper in a separate dish and set aside. 
• Crumble tofu with fork or fingers, and mix with seasonings. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and cook in skillet, stirring every 30 seconds or so, for 6-7 minutes, or until edges of tofu become a slightly more golden yellow.
• Add onion and bell pepper to tofu mixture in pan, and serve hot.
  

Notes

For one block of tofu to serve 4 people, the serving sizes are on the small side–which is perfect if tofu isn’t the main course of your breakfast meal. If scrambled tofu is your main, you’d likely want 1/2 block of tofu (or 8 ounces) per person.
