Description
A delicious and healthy alternative to scrambled eggs, made with firm tofu and a blend of spices.
Ingredients
Scale
- 14 ounces firm tofu, drained and pressed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup diced onion
- 1/4 cup diced bell pepper (any color you like)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast (optional, for a cheesy flavor)
- Fresh herbs for garnish (like parsley or chives)
Instructions
- Crumble the pressed tofu into a large bowl until it resembles scrambled eggs.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and sauté the diced onion and bell pepper for about 5 minutes until soft.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute, stirring to prevent burning.
- Sprinkle in the turmeric, cumin, and paprika, stirring for about 30 seconds to let the spices bloom.
