Ingredients

  • 16 oz block tofu, firm or extra firm
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • ½ tsp onion salt
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • tsp turmeric

Instructions

Make the tofu scramble

  • Over the sink, press as much water out of the tofu as possible, then crumble the tofu up (so it looks like scrambled eggs) over a medium-sized skillet.
  • Add the oil to the skillet, and cook the tofu over medium-high heat, flipping occasionally, until there is no water in the skillet and the tofu begins to brown, about 7 minutes.

Add the seasonings

  • Now add the onion salt, garlic powder, salt and turmeric to the skillet. Toss it into the tofu so all the seasonings are evenly distributed. The tofu will turn light yellow.
  • Cook the tofu for another 3-5 minutes over medium heat.

Serve and enjoy

  • Remove the tofu scramble from the heat, and serve alone, or add some sautéed peppers and onions. This scramble makes a great breakfast with crispy potatoes, or as a component of dishes like my breakfast quesadillas or fried rice.

Notes

This tofu scramble is vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free.
