INGREDIENTS:

The basic scramble:

  • 1 block of organic extra-firm tofu (wrapped in a clean kitchen towel or paper towels with a heavy plate or some books on top for 5-15 minutes to remove the excess moisture)

  • 2 teaspoons turmeric

  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika

  • 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 2 tablespoons liquid aminos

  • salt and pepper to taste

Optional Add-Ins:

  • chopped onion

  • peppers

  • mushrooms

  • broccoli

  • tomatoes

  • greens

  • seitan

  • vegan shredded cheese

  • hot sauce

  • vegan cheddar sauce

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. To make the scramble first take the tofu and either break it into a crumble with your hands, or in a blender or food processor. You just want it to resemble scrambled eggs.

  2. Next add all of the spices, nutritional yeast, and coconut aminos to the the tofu in a bowl, and mix well.

  3. If you are adding vegetable, add 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet on medium heat, and begin cooking the veggies until they begin to soften.

  4. Next add the tofu to the pan of vegetables. You may need a little extra oil if the tofu seems to be sticking. You can also add a few extra splashes of amnios if the mixture seems dry.

  5. Heat until the tofu is warmed through and you are ready to eat!
