It looks mid (my camera work is not good, nor is my food presentation), and at least the vegans have probably had it, it’s TOFU SCRAMBLE! This dish is quick and easy while being packed full of protein, some fiber, and B Vitamins, courtesy of the nooch. I had another brand that gave it a much more vibrant yellow color, but I found a cheaper one so here it is. It’s overall pretty good, though a bit basic (veggies like broccoli can be added on), it packs great in a thermos and does not reheat well, in my opinion.

Makes 1 Serving, Approx. 430 Calories

What you’ll need:

  • 1 block of tofu, extra firm (14 Oz) |
  • 1/4 tsp of garlic powder |
  • 1/4 tsp of black pepper |
  • 1/4 tsp of salt (add more if you like saltier food, I do not) |
  • 1/4 tsp of turmeric |
  • 2 TBSP of Nutritional Yeast (make sure it has the B12 if you need it) |
  • 1 TBSP of Olive Oil (or oil of choice), you could use less if you like but I can’t guarantee your pan will be easy to clean!

Instructions:

  • Collect dry ingredients in a small dish, mix |
  • Heat pan around medium-low (3 on my burner) |
  • Pour Oil into the pan, spread around the pan |
  • Take out tofu, put it in the pan, then “scramble” it (break it into fine chunks) |
  • Add dry ingredients to the tofu in the pan, mix into the tofu |
  • When it’s warm enough for you, it’s done!

Though it’s probably been done before, even this way, I wanted to share this recipe because it is something that I eat a lot, and I would like to think it’s pretty healthy. If you actually use this recipe, even if just for the dry ingredients, let me know what you think! I’ve been tweaking this for a while, and I’m willing to tweak it more if anybody has any suggestions.

(Could someone demonstrate how to make lists on here, I couldn’t figure it out and the formatting came out a little wonky)

    worth trying with less firm tofu as well if you enjoy your eggs soft, i find both are good in different ways

    also adding onion powder, paprika, a bit of sesame oil, a dash of cayenne, and a little bit of chipotle as well as the already-mentioned black salt to your recipe will make for some tasty eggs
