Scrambled tofu is a delicious, healthy and quick vegan alternative to scrambled eggs. But, you don’t have to be vegan to enjoy it!
I first had scrambled tofu as part of a diet plan I was subscribing to, and I instantly loved it! And the funny thing is, my kids loved it too! Although I’m vegetarian, my kids do eat some meat here and there. So, for them to like vegan food, you know it has to be GOOD!
Serving Suggestions for Scrambled Tofu
- with toast
- with rice (how my kids and I love to eat it)
- in a breakfast sandwich
- in a breakfast burrito
Is tofu good for you?
This can be a controversial subject, but in my opinion, tofu is good for you. It is high in protein, low in calories, and contains a lot if different nutrients. For the full break down on tofu, click here.
Tofu is made from soybeans, which are mostly grown in the United States. Unfortunately, a majority of them are GMO. Because of this, I always buy non-GMO, organic tofu, and I would recommend doing the same when possible.
How do you make scrambled tofu?
Ingredients:
- 1 lb of extra firm tofu
- 2 teaspoons of olive oil (or your choice of neutral tasting oil)
- 3/4 teaspoon of turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon of cumin
- 1 1/2 tablespoons of nutritional yeast
- salt and black pepper to taste
Step 1: Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Then, break up the tofu and add it to the skillet. (I use my hands to break it up, but you can also use a fork.)
Step 2: Add all of the seasonings to the pan, then mix it all together. Saute the tofu for about 5 minutes, or until most of the liquid has evaporated. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
