How To MakeDiet Type: Plant-based
Shopping List
- 1 (14 ounce) block extra-firm tofu
- 1 1/2 cups steamed or roasted vegetables (such as cabbage, zucchini, broccoli, and/or carrots)
- 1 handful kale
- 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon EACH ground turmeric, garlic powder, and onion powder
- salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Step 1: Steam or roast the vegetables until fork-tender but still vibrant in color. This will take about 20 minutes in a 400 degree Fahrenheit oven, drizzled with a little olive oil. Or it will take 5 to 10 minutes in a steamer, depending on the size. Chop the cooked vegetables into very small 1/4 inch pieces with a sharp knife.
- Step 2: Chop the cooked vegetables into very small 1/4-inch pieces.
- Step 3: Drain the liquid from the tofu block and pat it dry. Heat the oil in a wide frying pan over medium-high heat. Crumble the tofu block into the pan with your hands or a spatula. Add the nutritional yeast, turmeric, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to the tofu. Cook the tofu for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the edges of the tofu begin to crisp.
- Step 4: Add the chopped vegetables and kale to the tofu in the pan. Continue cooking, stirring often, until the kale has wilted into the tofu. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired.
- Serve: This tofu scramble is delicious any time of day. It's especially great topped with some salsa.
