Easy Scrambled Tofu

Before I became a vegan, I was totally into eggs. Like, I ate them ALL the time. I boiled them for quick snacks, mixed them into a stir-fry, and almost always had them for breakfast.

Then, I became a nutritionist and my world was turned around when I learned that my beloved egg, was not so great for me. Let me tell you, this was quite an adjustment for me. It took me a really long time to give them up completely! However, once I did, I didn't even miss them! Can you believe it? My saving grace was experimenting with alternatives to common egg dishes, and scrambled tofu became my breakfast go-to. It's delicious and super easy to make!

Ingredients
  1. 1 package (14oz) firm tofu, drained
  2. 1 small zucchini, chopped
  3. 1 bell pepper, chopped
  4. 1 Tbsp cilantro, finely chopped
  5. 2 Tbsp nutritional yeast
  6. 1/4 cup salsa
  7. 1/2 tsp turmeric
  8. 1/2 tsp black pepper, ground
  9. salt to taste
  10. olive oil, for cooking (optional)
Instructions
  1. Cut the tofu block into ~6 slices, and press with a paper towel to remove excess liquid. Once liquid is removed, crumble tofu into a medium sized mixing bowl lined with more paper towels and set aside. The tofu should already resemble the texture of scrambled eggs.
  2. Heat a large skillet pan at medium heat. While the pan is heating, chop zucchini and bell pepper. Add veggies to pan with a drizzle of olive oil, and sauté for 2 minutes max, stirring occasionally.
  3. Add cilantro, nutritional yeast, salsa, turmeric, black pepper, and salt. Mix well until nutritional yeast has dissolved, about 1 minute.
  4. Serve and enjoy.
