1

Prepare the Tofu

Start by draining the tofu and pressing out excess moisture. Place the tofu on a cutting board and gently squeeze it to remove any remaining water. Then, crumble the tofu into small, bite-sized pieces using your hands or a fork.

2

Sauté the Veggies

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a splash of oil. Once the oil is hot, add diced onions, bell peppers, and any other veggies you love. Sauté them until they become tender and slightly golden, typically around 5-7 minutes.

3

Season and Add Tofu

Now it's time to add some flavor! Sprinkle your favorite spices, such as turmeric, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper, over the sautéed veggies. Give everything a good stir to ensure the spices are evenly distributed. Then, add the crumbled tofu to the skillet.

4

Cook and Mix

Cook the tofu scramble over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, for about 5-7 minutes. This allows the tofu to absorb the flavors and gives it a lovely texture. Keep mixing gently to ensure nothing sticks to the pan.

5

Add Final Touches

For an extra kick of flavor, you can add some nutritional yeast, tamari or soy sauce, and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. These ingredients provide a cheesy, salty, and tangy taste that complements the tofu perfectly. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.

6

Serve and Enjoy

Your delicious and flavorful tofu scramble is now ready to be devoured! Serve it hot with a sprinkle of chopped fresh herbs like parsley or green onions. Enjoy it on its own, or wrap it up in a tortilla or add it to a breakfast bowl. The choices are endless!
