Savory Tofu Scramble

Ingredients

Firm tofu

14 oz, drained and pressed

Olive oil

2 tablespoons

Onion

1 medium, diced

Bell pepper

1 medium, diced (any color)

Garlic

2 cloves, minced

Turmeric

1 teaspoon

Nutritional yeast

3 tablespoons

Salt

to taste

Black pepper

to taste

Spinach (optional)

1 cup, fresh, chopped

Chili flakes (optional)

1/4 teaspoon, for heat

Instructions

1. Begin by draining and pressing the tofu to remove excess moisture, which helps enhance its texture and absorb flavors.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.
3. Add the diced onion and bell pepper, sautéing until they soften, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
4. Crumble the pressed tofu into the skillet using your hands or a fork, ensuring it resembles the texture of scrambled eggs.
5. Stir in the turmeric, nutritional yeast, salt, black pepper, and chili flakes if using. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring frequently, until the tofu is heated through and has absorbed the flavors of the vegetables.
6. If using, fold in the chopped spinach and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until wilted.
7. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs or avocado slices if desired.
