Ingredients

  • 1 (16 ounce) package medium firm tofu
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil or 1 teaspoon vegan margarine or 1 teaspoon cooking spray
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1 cup onion
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 1 cup red pepper (sliced)
  • salt and pepper
  • 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast (optional)

Method

  • Oil or spray a medium nonstick skillet or frying pan and heat over medium.
  • When the pan is warm, place the tofu in it.
  • With a spatula or similar device, chop and mash the tofu into little pieces.
  • Avoid using metal utensils in non-stick pans.
  • Add the soy sauce, turmeric, onion and garlic powders, red pepper, and nutritional yeast, if using.
  • Use the spatula to continue chopping, flipping, and mixing the tofu.
  • The tofu should begin to resemble the texture of scrambled eggs and take on a light yellow hue.
  • Cook over medium heat until most of the water is evaporated, tasting as you go.
  • This shouldn't take more than 5-10 minutes.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve with baked beans, toast, and tomato slices or as part of a special vegetarian breakfast.
