Tofu Scromblet – Virtual

Ingredients

7 ounces Extra firm tofu (cubed)
2 tsp. Olive oil
1/4 large White onions (thinly sliced)
1 clove Garlic, raw (minced)
3 Ounce Mushrooms, white, raw (sliced)
2 1/4 Large Red bell peppers (thinly sliced)
1/2 cup Kale, raw (ribs removed & chopped)
1/8 tsp. Salt

Instructions

Place an oblong loaf pan upside down in a medium roasting pan.

Place the tofu on top of the loaf pan and then place the top of a Tupperware container on top.

Add a heavy pan to the top to drain excess water from tofu.

Cut the tofu into small cubes. Set aside.

In a medium sauté pan, heat the olive oil on medium heat.

Add the onions and garlic.

Sauté for 3 minutes.  Stir frequently.

Add the mushrooms and cook for 3 minutes.  Stir frequently.

Add the tofu and break it apart so the consistency resembles scrambled eggs.

Cook for 2 minutes. Stir frequently.

Add the red peppers and kale.

Sauté for 2-3 minutes.

Add the salt, black pepper, ground turmeric, parmesan, and parsley.

Cook for 2 minutes.  Stir frequently.

Toast the bread and serve it with the scrambled tofu and sliced avocado.

Recipe Notes

This is a great eggless “scrambled egg” dish. The addition of turmeric adds great color and flavor to this versatile recipe.

You can use the veggies of your choice. Green or yellow peppers are great, but even something spicy like poblano peppers brings a lot to the dish. Substitute spinach for kale, use crimini mushrooms, add more garlic… There are so many choices that can make this your own.

For tofu recipes like this, using a firm tofu and pressing the water out makes for a more “dry” version of the scrambled eggs. If you like your scrambled eggs creamier, use either regular tofu or firm tofu. You can experiment with whether to press the water out or not based on your tastes.

"The mind is like tofu. It tastes like whatever you marinate it in."
