EIGHT INGREDIENT TOFU SCRAMBLE
The best eight ingredient tofu scramble that gives you a similar taste and flavor for those who miss having eggs or for those who have an egg allergy! All you need is a total of 10 minutes and 1 pan to make this delicious dish. This dish uses extra firm tofu for this dish as I personally think it is the best tofu texture to use when you are looking to pan fry. With that being said you can also opt into using what you have on hand such as firm. What will not work is a silken tofu as it is to creamy in texture and it will not pan fry well and it has a different flavor profile.
For this recipe you will not need to press your tofu ahead of time as the water will cook out in the first couple of minutes with it cooking in your pan. If you have on hand I prefer to use a cast iron skillet for this recipe. Here’s the cast iron skillets that I use when it comes to cooking you can shop them here : https://amzn.to/488J1Tp
Start by adding in a tablespoon of avocado oil to the skillet and warming it over a medium heat. Add the tofu cune to the pan and begin mashing it with a potato mashed or you can mash it simply with your hands until it crumbles. Cook it and stir it frequently for three to four minutes. Once the tofu starts to cook begin to add in the nutritional yeast, sea salt, tumeric and spices and cook for another five minutes until it is combined. After that add in your non- dairy milk and serve immediately. This tofu scramble goes great as a side or you can add it to some toast with fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley.
Vegetables that you can add into this skillet from the beginning include red or white onions or garlic minced. If you want to add vegetables at the end then I would suggest for you to add them in once you are done adding in the non- dairy milk such as fresh kale, spinach, tomatoes or bell peppers. If you make extra tofu and you want to keep it in the fridge you can do that and it will stay for up to three days in the fridge.
