Preparation: 40 minutes Serves: 4 servings
The Best Tofu Scramble

This recipe works well for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. I change up the veggies, depending on what I have in the fridge. It’s the combination of the silken and firm tofu that gives it a creamy scrambled tofu texture.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 Tbsp coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and allow to sweat and soften for 5 min. 

  2. Add the jalapeno, red bell pepper, broccoli and zucchini; stir as needed and continue to cook for 3-5 min. 

  3. Add garlic and cook for 1 more minute.

  4. In a separate large skillet on medium-high, heat up 1 Tbsp coconut oil, and gently break up the tofu with your fingers, leaving some nice chunks too. Continue to cook on medium heat to cook out any water content for 5-10 minutes, stirring as needed.

  5. When water has evaporated, season the tofu with salt, pepper, turmeric, nutritional yeast, paprika, cayenne, and add all the veggies that have been sautéed. Taste and adjust the seasonings. 

  6. Add in the spinach and cook until wilted. Add a little ghee and almond milk for creaminess.

  7. While the tofu is cooking, mash the yams with a fork or potato masher. Add them into the saute pan the onions and veggies were cooked in. Add 2 Tbsp water to help cream up the yams. Cook on medium-high until nice and hot. Add 1-2 Tbsp ghee or coconut oil, salt and pepper, and maple syrup to taste. Keep the yams the consistency of mashed potatoes; add a little almond milk for creaminess.

  8. Garnish the tofu scramble with a little chopped parsley, parmesan cheese, and/or chopped green onions, and serve with a side of mashed yams and toast.
