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
-
Heat 1 Tbsp coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and allow to sweat and soften for 5 min.
-
Add the jalapeno, red bell pepper, broccoli and zucchini; stir as needed and continue to cook for 3-5 min.
-
Add garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Add in the spinach and cook until wilted. Add a little ghee and almond milk for creaminess.
-
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.
-
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.
