Instructions
Tofu Scramble
- Pat dry tofu and cover in an absorbent towel or many paper towels then cover with a heavy pan and let sit for approx 15 minutes to release water. NOTE: I don't always cover with the pan but I will wrap the tofu block in paper towels to absorb the water.
- In a large saucepan, heat oil until shimmering, then add onions and white parts green onion. Saute until translucent and tender, approx 10 minutes. (NOTE: if adding any additional veggies, add them after sauteing the onions for about 5 minutes, then cook all the vegetables an additional 7-10 minutes or until tender)
- Unwrap tofu, and with a fork or your hands crumble tofu into bite size pieces and add tofu directly to the pan with the onions. Stir to combine.
- Add turmeric, salt and pepper and mix well. Everything will turn yellow! (add nutritional yeast now if using)
- Sauté approximately 5-7 minutes or until tofu is heated through. Taste and adjust to tastes as needed.
- Remove from heat, top with green part of green onion when serving. Set aside.
