Breakfast should not be an all day cooking event, especially when you wake up hungry and just want to eat. This Tofu Scramble is as easy (and quick) as Sunday morning. This recipe is gluten free and nut free.
Ingredients
  • For the Tofu Scramble:
  • ½ block extra firm tofu
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ small red onion, diced fine
  • ½ teaspoon ground turmeric
  • ½ teaspoon fine grain sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon nutritional yeast
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper
  • Serve with:
  • Toast
  • Tomatoes
  • Potatoes
  • Ketchup
  • Salsa
  • Hot Sauce
  • Maple Sriracha Bacon
Instructions
  1. Wrap the tofu in a clean dish towel or paper towels and set under something heavy, like a book, to press the water out of the tofu. Set aside for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, heat the oil over medium heat in a skillet and dice the onion.
  2. Cook the onion until softened and slightly brown, about 4 minutes. Crumble the tofu with your hands into the pan. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring often.
  3. Grind the spices and salt in a mortar and pestle or spice grinder. Transfer the ground seasonings to the tofu mixture and stir well to coat. Cook for another 4-6 minutes. I try a piece after the 4 minute mark to see if the raw tofu taste has been cooked off, if not continue to cook.
  4. Once the tofu is cooked to your desired taste, serve with your favourite breakfast fixings and enjoy!
