Steps:
- Drain the tofu container, then pat the tofu dry with a clean dish towel. Place the tofu in a large bowl and use your fingers to break the tofu into bite-sized irregular shaped pieces. (It might be a little cold on your hands: don't worry, it should only take a few seconds!) Stir in the olive oil, turmeric, salt and pepper.
- Add the cumin and garlic powder to a dry skillet. Cook on medium heat for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in the tofu and increase the heat to medium high. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and starting to lightly brown. Remove the heat and place it on the serving plates. Serve with toast, veggie saute (below), or if you want to get fancy, vegan bacon.
- Meanwhile, thinly slice the onion. Thinly slice the bell pepper. Heat the olive oil in a separate large skillet over medium high heat. When hot, add the onion and peppers. Cook 4 to 6 minutes until just starting to brown, stirring occasionally. Add a pinch of salt and the baby greens. Cook for 30 seconds until wilted. Remove from the heat and serve alongside the tofu scramble.

TOFU GREEN BEAN BREAKFAST SCRAMBLE
Repeat after me: Don't scramble your eggs, scramble your tofu! This splendid breakfast dish is one of my all-time favorite ways to eat tofu. Oh, what's that? You hate tofu? This is the dish that has converted all of my tofu-skeptic friends. It's based on a classic Northern Indian breakfast my dad remembers from his childhood, originally involving crumbled paneer sauteed with spices and green beans and usually eaten atop toast. When my parents immigrated to America and my dad was craving this dish, tofu was my mom's workaround after not being able to find paneer anywhere. What she ended up discovering was how wonderfully light and bouncy the crumbled tofu gets, and how nicely that complements the crunch of the green beans. This dish is essentially a doppelganger for scrambled eggs, thanks to the yellow color of the turmeric and the vaguely eggy, umami-like taste of the chaat masala. But tofu does a far superior job than eggs at really absorbing the flavor of the spices-plus, it's a lot harder to overcook tofu.

Steps:
- Warm the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the cumin seeds and cook until they turn a medium shade of brown, about 1 minute max. Swirl the turmeric into the oil, then add the green beans, salt and chile. Reduce the heat to low, cover and cook until the green beans are just barely soft (they should still retain a bit of firmness), 5 to 7 minutes.
- Add the crumbled tofu and mix well, then increase the heat to medium and cook, uncovered, until the tofu has softened slightly and turned bright yellow from the turmeric, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and mix in the lime juice and chaat masala. Taste and adjust the lime juice, chaat masala and salt before serving if needed.
TOFU SCRAMBLE
This quick scramble is a combination of flavors and textures that will surprise and delight tofu-lovers and doubters alike. Soy sauce, turmeric and cumin provide bold seasoning, while searing the block of tofu on both sides before breaking it up yields plenty of crispy bits as well as tender ones. You can add cooked vegetables, leafy greens, beans, cheese or nutritional yeast with the scallions in Step 4, though you may want to increase the seasoning depending on the amount of extras you add. You can also swap in hot sauce, mustard or tahini for the soy sauce and play around with spice combinations, but don't skip the splash of water - it helps the tofu soak up all the flavors. Serve with toast, tortillas, salad or breakfast potatoes.

Steps:
- Cut the block of tofu in half horizontally as you would a hamburger bun. Pat both pieces dry and wrap in paper towels. If time allows, press the tofu by placing a cast-iron skillet or other heavy object on top of the wrapped tofu for about 30 minutes. (This helps remove moisture so the tofu retains its shape better during cooking.)
- In a measuring cup or bowl, combine the soy sauce, turmeric and cumin with 2 tablespoons water.
- Unwrap the tofu and season on all sides with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium-high. Add the tofu blocks and cook until golden brown and crisp on the bottom, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip the tofu and cook until golden brown and crisp on the other side, another 3 to 4 minutes. If the tofu is emitting water, hold the tofu with a spatula and pour the water out of the pan.
- Lower the heat to medium. Using a spatula or wooden spoon, break up the tofu into chunks. Add the scallions and the seasoning mixture and cook, stirring and continuing to break up the tofu, until absorbed, about 2 minutes. Serve immediately.

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!
