TOFU SCRAMBLE



Tofu Scramble image

This quick scramble is a combination of flavors and textures that will surprise and delight tofu-lovers and doubters alike. Soy sauce, turmeric and cumin provide bold seasoning, while searing the block of tofu on both sides before breaking it up yields plenty of crispy bits as well as tender ones. You can add cooked vegetables, leafy greens, beans, cheese or nutritional yeast with the scallions in Step 4, though you may want to increase the seasoning depending on the amount of extras you add. You can also swap in hot sauce, mustard or tahini for the soy sauce and play around with spice combinations, but don't skip the splash of water - it helps the tofu soak up all the flavors. Serve with toast, tortillas, salad or breakfast potatoes.

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (14-ounce) block firm or extra-firm tofu
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce or tamari
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
Kosher salt and black pepper
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 scallions, trimmed and thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Cut the block of tofu in half horizontally as you would a hamburger bun. Pat both pieces dry and wrap in paper towels. If time allows, press the tofu by placing a cast-iron skillet or other heavy object on top of the wrapped tofu for about 30 minutes. (This helps remove moisture so the tofu retains its shape better during cooking.)
  • In a measuring cup or bowl, combine the soy sauce, turmeric and cumin with 2 tablespoons water.
  • Unwrap the tofu and season on all sides with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium-high. Add the tofu blocks and cook until golden brown and crisp on the bottom, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip the tofu and cook until golden brown and crisp on the other side, another 3 to 4 minutes. If the tofu is emitting water, hold the tofu with a spatula and pour the water out of the pan.
  • Lower the heat to medium. Using a spatula or wooden spoon, break up the tofu into chunks. Add the scallions and the seasoning mixture and cook, stirring and continuing to break up the tofu, until absorbed, about 2 minutes. Serve immediately.

  • Heat the olive oil or water in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bell pepper and onion. Cook for 5-8 minutes, stirring frequently, or until the pepper is tender and onion is clear. Crumble the tofu into the skillet; you can make it either very crumbled or leave some sizable chunks if that's your preference.
  • Cook the tofu for about 2 minutes, stirring a few times, until it's warmed through and there's very little liquid in the pan. Meanwhile, whisk together the tamari, turmeric, mustard, and paprika. Add this mixture to the tofu and mix well to incorporate. Then, stir in the nutritional yeast.
  • Add the baby spinach to the scramble. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the spinach is wilted and tender. Serve the tofu scramble with toppings and accompaniments of choice!

  • Drain the tofu, then break it apart using your hands or a couple of forks, until it resembles egg scramble.
  • Mix together the tofu, nutritional yeast, garlic, onion, Kala Namak, turmeric, paprika, and pepper. Let sit for 5 minutes to let the flavors sink in.
  • On medium-low heat, sauté tofu until hot, about 8-10 minutes. I use a nonstick pan to cook my scramble, so I don't find oil is necessary, but you can cook in 2 teaspoons of oil.

  • Drain the tofu. Line a cutting board with a few layers of paper towels or a clean dish towel. Place the tofu on top, then weigh it down with a heavy cookbook, or a large plate weighed down by a few cans of beans. Press the tofu for 15 minutes.
  • Make the eggy sauce. In a bowl, whisk together the turmeric, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, chipotle, kala namak, tahini, and nutritional yeast. Pour in the milk gradually and whisk until you have a nice sauce.
  • Heat a large nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat with the oil. Once the oil is hot, add the tofu to the pan, and fry until it’s lightly browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir occasionally but not too often to allow the exterior to get lightly browned. Break up any large chunks of tofu with your spatula but don’t break it up too finely.
