Easy Scrambled Tofu

Quick, easy, and delicious vegan scrambled tofu
Prep Time5 minutes
Cook Time10 minutes
Total Time15 minutes
Course: Breakfast
Cuisine: American
Servings: 4
Calories: 157kcal

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.
