Ingredients
- 1/2 onion (diced)
- 1/2 green bell pepper (diced)
- 1 block tofu (drained and pressed)
- 2 tablespoons oil (or margarine)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- Optional: 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
Steps to Make It
-
Gather the ingredients.
The Spruce -
First, prepare your tofu. Like most tofu recipes, tofu scramble will taste best if you press the tofu first.
The Spruce -
Once your tofu is well pressed, slice the tofu into approximately one-inch cubes.
The Spruce -
Then using either your hands or a fork, crumble it slightly to get the consistency you like for your scrambled tofu.
The Spruce -
Next, heat the oil or margarine in a large skillet or frying pan and sauté the chopped onion, pepper, and crumbled tofu for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
The Spruce -
Next, add the garlic powder, onion powder, and soy sauce and reduce the heat down to medium. Allow your tofu to cook 5 to 7 more minutes, stirring frequently and adding a bit more oil if needed.
The Spruce -
Finally, add the nutritional yeast and stir to combine well and make sure that your tofu is well coated.
The Spruce -
To serve your tofu scramble, eat it just as it is, top it off with salsa, wrap it up in a warmed flour tortilla with a bit of salsa for a breakfast burrito, or top with soy or dairy cheese.
The Spruce -
Enjoy!
Tip
- Pressing the tofu is crucial, as it allows the tofu to absorb more of the flavorings and seasonings which you add to it. It's an extra step, but it just takes a few minutes.
