The Perfect Tofu Scramble

The perfect tofu scramble is something I have been after for awhile now. I wanted to find a recipe that made me go "wow!" I think this one comes pretty close! This recipe is the result of multiple trial and errors - most of the ingredients can be done to taste but I will put some measurements to them for those who are more "by the book". 

Tofu and "sausage" scramble

Serves 4-6

For the scramble:

1-14oz block of firm tofu 

1 yellow onion (chopped)

1 tomato (diced)

3 handfuls of fresh spinach

3-4 tbsp nutritional yeast (depending on how "cheesy" you want it)

2-3 tsp turmeric (mostly for color)

2 tsp minced garlic

Cumin to taste (optional)

Salt and pepper to taste

For the "sausage":

1- 8oz package tempeh 

2 tbsp soy sauce

2 tsp minced garlic 

Salt and pepper to taste 

Oil or earth balance for cooking

Start by sautéing the onion over medium heat in a little oil or earth balance. Cook until soft but still solid (not mushy). 

While the onions are sautéing, put a little oil or earth balance into another frying pan and crumble the tempeh into it. Cook the tempeh at medium heat, adding in the soy sauce, garlic, salt and pepper. Heat until tempeh is browned. 

While the tempeh is browning, add tofu to sautéed onion and mash with a fork until crumbled. Add in the turmeric, nutritional yeast, garlic, cumin and salt and pepper. Mix well and continue to heat, stirring frequently. When the tofu has begun to firm up, add the tomatoes and spinach. Heat until spinach has wilted. 

Remove scramble from heat and add in browned tempeh. Mix well and serve immediately. 

This scramble can be stored in the fridge and reheated for up to a week. 

I hope you enjoy this as much as I do! If you want to mix it up, trying adding some different vegetables!
