Vegan Tofu Scramble

[Guest guest]

Tofu scramble is a popular vegan breakfast dish similar to scrambled

eggs. Although this recipe calls for onions and green peppers, try

adding some mock meat in crumble form, such as Gimme Lean soy sausage

by Lightlife, or experiment with different vegetable combinations,

such as spinach, mushrooms and green onions. Wrap in a warmed flour

tortilla with a bit of salsa for a breakfast burrito or top with soy

cheese.

 

INGREDIENTS:

 

* 1/2 yellow onion, diced

* 1/2 green bell pepper, diced

* 1 block tofu, drained and pressed

* 2 tbsp oil or margarine

* 1 tsp garlic powder

* 1 tsp onion powder

* 1/2 tsp dried parsley

* 1 tbsp soy sauce

* 2 tbsp nutritional yeast

* 1/2 tsp turmeric

 

If using soy sausage use half of the amount in the tube like packaging

it comes in and cook it separately by crumbling it (a potato masher

works well) and then frying it in oil until it's crispy. Then add it

to the cooked tofu scramble and mix to absorb flavors.

 

PREPARATION:

Slice the tofu into approximately one inch cubes. Then, using either

your hands or a fork, crumble it slightly.

 

Sautee onion, pepper and crumbled tofu in oil for 3-5 minutes,

stirring often. Add remaining ingredients, reduce heat to medium and

allow to cook 5-7 more minutes, stirring frequently and adding more

oil if needed.

 

Wrap in a warmed flour tortilla with a bit of salsa for a breakfast

burrito or top with soy or dairy cheese.
