Tofu Scramble
Tofu Scramble is American home cooking, eaten at breakfast. On the plate it is the dish at the centre. Below is what usually sits beside it, what it does and does not contain, and what else to cook once you have made it.
Ingredients
- 14 oz firm tofu
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 cup onion
- 1 bell pepper
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 1/2 tsp ground turmeric
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
How to cook it
- Drain the tofu and press out excess water, then crumble it into bite-size curds with your hands.
- Heat the olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat and soften the onion and bell pepper, about 5 minutes.
- Add the crumbled tofu, turmeric, garlic powder, salt, and pepper and cook, stirring, until hot and lightly golden, about 6 minutes.
- Stir in the nutritional yeast and the spinach and cook until the spinach wilts, about 2 minutes.
- Taste, adjust the salt, and serve hot.

When to cook it
Tofu Scramble takes about 20 minutes from a cold stove to the table, and the cooking itself is a fair bit of work. It is eaten at breakfast. Nothing in the calendar rules it out, so it is a year round dish.
