Basic Vegan Tofu Scramble Food

TOFU SCRAMBLE

Steps:

• Chop the tofu and use a fork to crumble it into bite-sized pieces.
• Add some oil to a frying pan and when it's hot, add the tofu and all the remaining ingredients (salt, turmeric powder, and ground black pepper). Stir until well combined and cook over medium-high heat for 5 to 10 minutes. Stir occasionally.
• Serve your tofu scramble immediately (I served my tofu scramble over some toasted bread and topped it with fresh parsley) with fresh fruit, vegan bacon, or vegan sausage as part of a vegan brunch. You can also serve it with vegan pancakes, vegan crepes, vegan banana bread, and coffee or juice.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week. You can also prepare the tofu before cooking and freeze it for up to 5 months. On the other hand, you can also freeze your tofu scrambled eggs after cooking. If you do, the tofu will get a chewier texture, although the eggy flavor won't change. It can be reheated in the microwave or on the stovetop over medium heat until warmed through. Add a little oil, water, or vegetable stock if needed.

BASIC VEGAN TOFU SCRAMBLE

Steps:

• Place tofu onto a plate and place another plate on top. Set a 3- to 5-pound weight on top. Press tofu for 20 to 30 minutes; drain and discard the accumulated liquid. Squeeze tofu with your hands to break it into crumbles into a bowl.
• Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook tofu for 5 to 10 minutes. Reduce heat and mix in mustard and 1/2 the nutritional yeast. Stir well to scramble. Gradually mix remaining nutritional yeast into the tofu. Add more oil if nutritional yeast is not sticking to the tofu. Stir turmeric into the tofu and season with salt and pepper.

BASIC BREAKFAST TOFU SCRAMBLE

Steps:

• Spray non-stick frying generously with cooking spray, and heat over medium.
• Drain the package of tofu and crumble into the pan. Cook for 3-4 mins, until tofu begins to release some of its water.
• Add the remaining ingredients (except the creamer) and mix well to combine evenly.
• Cook for another 10 minutes or so, stirring regularly.
• When tofu releases most of its water, and begins to firm up, add creamer and mix well.
• Cook another 1-2 minutes, allowing some of the liquid to evaporate, then remove from heat.
• Serve with toast!

EASY VEGAN TOFU SCRAMBLE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Prepare the tofu. Like most tofu recipes, the scramble will taste best by pressing the tofu first.
• Slice the tofu into approximately 1-inch cubes once it has been well pressed.
• Crumble the tofu slightly using either hands or a fork to get the right consistency for a scramble.
• Heat the oil or margarine in a large skillet or frying pan and sauté the chopped onion, pepper, and crumbled tofu for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
• Add the garlic powder, onion powder, and soy sauce and reduce the heat down to medium. Allow tofu to cook 5 to 7 more minutes, stirring frequently and adding a bit more oil if needed.
• Add the nutritional yeast and stir to combine, making sure the tofu is well coated.
• Serve just as it is, top it off with salsa, wrap it up in a warmed flour tortilla with a bit of salsa for a breakfast burrito, or top with soy or dairy cheese.

SIMPLE TOFU SCRAMBLE

Steps:

• , no need to press as the water will dissipate as it cooks. I typically let the block of tofu rest on its side thin side to drain for a few minutes before using.
• Heat the skillet over medium heat, add the tofu while crumbling it between your fingers (above right). Alternatively, add the tofu block to the skillet and use the back of a fork to mash it a bit. You can also break it up with a wooden spoon. Do whatever is comfortable or makes sense for you. Cook for 2 - 3 minutes.
• Add the turmeric, nutritional yeast, optional garlic + onion powder, salt and pepper, cooking for 2 minutes more, stirring frequently. If adding veggies, this is the perfect time to add them.
• Lastly, add the vegan cream and black salt, and cook another 3 minutes, stirring frequently.
• Serves 4
• Serve right away with Breakfast Potatoes or Home Fries, and fresh fruits. Also great with a slice of toasted Artisan Bread!

THE BEST TOFU SCRAMBLE

Steps:

• Gently wrap the tofu in a clean kitchen towel or a double layer of paper towels to blot out excess moisture. Place the tofu in a medium bowl. Add the black salt and turmeric and stir well with a fork, crumbling the tofu and fully combining the spices.
• Melt the vegan butter in a medium nonstick pan over medium-high heat, swirling the pan to coat evenly. Add the tofu mixture and spread it out evenly in the pan using a rubber spatula. Season with a pinch of kosher salt and a few grinds of pepper and cook undisturbed until the edges begin to turn yellow from the turmeric and some moisture is bubbling up, about 1 minute 30 seconds.
• Gently stir the scramble, folding the cooked side over and redistributing the tofu to allow it to cook in an even layer. Continue to cook, stirring every 1 minute 30 seconds, until most of the moisture is evaporated and the tofu is the consistency of custardy scrambled eggs, 7 to 9 minutes. As it simmers, more liquid will bubble up and then it will dry out and the scramble will turn a uniform pale yellow color.
• Meanwhile, toast the bread. Divide the scramble between the bread slices and top each with half the vegan cheese.

EASY TOFU SCRAMBLE

Steps:

• Remove the block of tofu from the container and discard the liquid. You don't need to press the tofu for a long time but pat it dry really god with a towel or paper towels to dry off the outside.
• Break the tofu into large chunks that are about 1 1/2 inches big (very roughly). The tofu will break up more in the pan so I like to start with larger chunks.
• In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add in the tofu chunks and remaining ingredients. Stir to combine and continue to cook for about 8 minutes. You want the tofu to be completely warmed through and broken up a bit more.
• Remove from heat and ENJOY! I like to eat mine with toast and avocado as well as a little hot sauce.
