Amazing Tofu Scramble Recipes

AMAZING TOFU SCRAMBLE

Steps:

• NOTE: Freezing the tofu ahead of time and allowing it to thaw gives it a much firmer texture that is great for crumbling or even for skewering with kabobs. Watch the 5-minute video to see how it changes the texture and firmness.
• Drain water from tofu and gently squeeze water out over a bowl or sink. Crumble tofu into a bowl and set aside.
• Dice mushrooms, onions, and bell pepper. Any color--red, yellow, orange, green--can be used. Sometimes I even use diced cherry tomatoes instead.
• In frying pan, saute onion, red pepper, and mushrooms in approximately 2 Tbsp. veggie broth or water for approximately 3-4 minutes.
• Add crumbed tofu to pan with veggies.
• Add turmeric, nutritional yeast, Bragg's aminos, and tofu. Sauté for about 3 minutes. If additional liquid is needed, use another 1-3 Tbsp. of veggie broth.
• If using cherry tomatoes instead of red bell pepper, add tomatoes now. They don't require any sauteing like pepper does.
• Add baby spinach, cover pan with lid, and allow leaves to wilt, approximately 2 minutes
• Remove from heat and serve with toast, grits, or fruit.
• This is also delicious served as a breakfast burrito in a wrap.

TOFU SCRAMBLE

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.

SOFT TOFU SCRAMBLE

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large non-stick skillet. Crumble the tofu and transfer to the skillet.
• Stir in the nutritional yeast, garlic powder, turmeric and salt.
• Cook for 8-10 minutes or until you have a soft scramble. If the scramble is getting dry, add water, 1 tablespoon at a time.
• Sprinkle with pepper. Serve immediately or store the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

THE BEST TOFU SCRAMBLE

Steps:

• Add all the eggy sauce ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth. Alternatively, you can whisk all the ingredients into a bowl until combined.
• Heat a pan over medium high heat. Crumble the firm tofu into the pan and then use a wooden spatula and move it to one side of the pan. Add in the soft tofu and use the wooden spatula to cut through the soft tofu. Do not over cut or as you mix it, it will become too mushy.
• Pour in the eggy sauce and then slowly start mixing the soft tofu with the firm tofu with wooden spatula until combined. Cook without stirring for about 3-5 minutes. Give a piece of the tofu a taste and add some salt if desired. Continue to cook and stir every 1 minute until liquid is evaporated to the consistency you like (about 6-8 minutes).
• Serve immediately and garnish with spring onions and pepper.

SPICY TOFU SCRAMBLE

Steps:

• Place tofu onto a plate and place another plate on top. Set a 3- to 5-pound weight on top (a container filled with water works well). Press tofu for 20 to 30 minutes; drain and discard the accumulated liquid. Crumble tofu into 1/4-inch pieces.
• Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add mushrooms, scallions, and jalapeno; cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Stir in crumbled tofu and red pepper flakes. Cover and cook until flavors blend, about 4 minutes.
• Season the tofu mixture with salt and pepper. Stir in tomatoes and 3 tablespoons cilantro; cook and stir until tomatoes are just heated through, about 2 minutes. Spoon tofu scramble onto 2 plates; sprinkle queso fresco on top. Garnish with the remaining cilantro.

TOFU SCRAMBLE WRAPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper or a silicone liner (such as Silpat®).
• Combine sweet potatoes, onion, bell pepper, lime juice, coconut aminos, garlic powder, and pepper for potatoes in a medium bowl, stirring so that everything is evenly coated. Transfer to the prepared baking tray.
• Cook in the preheated oven until crisp and tender, 30 to 40 minutes, stirring halfway through cooking time.
• While the potatoes are cooking, crumble the tofu into a large, nonstick pan. Add nutritional yeast, coconut aminos, garlic powder, pepper, and black salt. Cook over low heat, adding 1 tablespoon of water at a time if the tofu starts to stick, for 10 minutes. Add seitan and tomato, and cook until everything is warmed through, about 20 minutes.
• Place a tortilla on a flat surface. Place some potatoes, avocado, and tofu scramble on the tortilla. Start at the bottom and fold the tortilla edge up and over the center into a wrap. Repeat to form remaining wraps.
• Heat a flat-bottomed, cast iron pan over medium heat. Place the wraps in the hot pan, folded-side down. Cook until golden brown and sealed, about 4 minutes.
