TOFU SCRAMBLE

This quick scramble is a combination of flavors and textures that will surprise and delight tofu-lovers and doubters alike. Soy sauce, turmeric and cumin provide bold seasoning, while searing the block of tofu on both sides before breaking it up yields plenty of crispy bits as well as tender ones. You can add cooked vegetables, leafy greens, beans, cheese or nutritional yeast with the scallions in Step 4, though you may want to increase the seasoning depending on the amount of extras you add. You can also swap in hot sauce, mustard or tahini for the soy sauce and play around with spice combinations, but don't skip the splash of water - it helps the tofu soak up all the flavors. Serve with toast, tortillas, salad or breakfast potatoes.

Steps:

  • Cut the block of tofu in half horizontally as you would a hamburger bun. Pat both pieces dry and wrap in paper towels. If time allows, press the tofu by placing a cast-iron skillet or other heavy object on top of the wrapped tofu for about 30 minutes. (This helps remove moisture so the tofu retains its shape better during cooking.)
  • In a measuring cup or bowl, combine the soy sauce, turmeric and cumin with 2 tablespoons water.
  • Unwrap the tofu and season on all sides with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium-high. Add the tofu blocks and cook until golden brown and crisp on the bottom, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip the tofu and cook until golden brown and crisp on the other side, another 3 to 4 minutes. If the tofu is emitting water, hold the tofu with a spatula and pour the water out of the pan.
  • Lower the heat to medium. Using a spatula or wooden spoon, break up the tofu into chunks. Add the scallions and the seasoning mixture and cook, stirring and continuing to break up the tofu, until absorbed, about 2 minutes. Serve immediately.

1 (14-ounce) block firm or extra-firm tofu
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce or tamari
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
Kosher salt and black pepper
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 scallions, trimmed and thinly sliced

THE BEST TOFU SCRAMBLE

If you like a softly scrambled egg on toast, you're going to love this soft-scrambled tofu recipe. The secret is the addition of Indian black salt (also known as kala namak or black lava salt), which has an egglike flavor and is available online or at specialty food stores. Because it is lower in sodium, we round out the dish with a little kosher salt too. We like our scramble on toast but it would also make a great filling for a vegan breakfast burrito.

Steps:

  • Gently wrap the tofu in a clean kitchen towel or a double layer of paper towels to blot out excess moisture. Place the tofu in a medium bowl. Add the black salt and turmeric and stir well with a fork, crumbling the tofu and fully combining the spices.
  • Melt the vegan butter in a medium nonstick pan over medium-high heat, swirling the pan to coat evenly. Add the tofu mixture and spread it out evenly in the pan using a rubber spatula. Season with a pinch of kosher salt and a few grinds of pepper and cook undisturbed until the edges begin to turn yellow from the turmeric and some moisture is bubbling up, about 1 minute 30 seconds.
  • Gently stir the scramble, folding the cooked side over and redistributing the tofu to allow it to cook in an even layer. Continue to cook, stirring every 1 minute 30 seconds, until most of the moisture is evaporated and the tofu is the consistency of custardy scrambled eggs, 7 to 9 minutes. As it simmers, more liquid will bubble up and then it will dry out and the scramble will turn a uniform pale yellow color.
  • Meanwhile, toast the bread. Divide the scramble between the bread slices and top each with half the vegan cheese.

One 16-ounce block soft tofu, drained
1/2 teaspoon Indian black salt
1/8 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 tablespoon vegan butter
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 slices bread
1/4 cup shredded vegan Cheddar-style cheese (about 2 ounces)

SCRAMBLED TOFU

This is a wonderful vegetarian dish with a great flavor. The cheese can be omitted, and other vegetables such as green peppers or mushrooms can be added. It's great served with hot bran muffins.

SCRAMBLED TOFU

A great recipe from Isa Chandra Moskowitz' book, Vegan with a Vengeance. The spice blend and lemon juice makes this explode with flavor! Isa says that if you don't have nutritional yeast on hand simply omit the water when cooking. Her cat Fizzle says, "Use a cast-iron pan so that you don't have to worry about scratching the pan to get all the good burnt bits." I use a non-stick pan, but am certainly willing to switch to the cast iron one once it's back in production at my house! Additionally, Isa says in its intro: "...feel free to add any finely chopped vegetables that you want to use up; add them when you add the mushrooms. Broccoli, zucchini, and cauliflower are all great contenders. The most important thig is that you get the texture right; you want it to be chunky. As you cook the tofu it will crumble more, so just break it into big chunks through your fingers right into the pan. This is a great tasting way to introduce a tofuphobe to the heavenly bean curd we all know and love."

Steps:

  • Combine ingredients for SPICE BLEND and set aside until needed.
  • In skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil. Saute onions for 3 minutes, until softened; add the mushrooms, saute for 5 minutes; add the garlic, saute for 2 minutes.
  • Add the SPICE BLEND and mix it up for 15 seconds or so. Add 1/4 cup water to deglaze the pan, scraping the bottom to get all the garlic and spices.
  • Crumble in the tofu in big chunks and mix well, being careful not to crush it; use a lifting motion when stirring it around; you want it to remain chunky. Allow to cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally and adding splashes of water if necessary to keep it from sticking too much. Lower the heat a bit if you find that the tofu is sticking.
  • Add the lemon juice.
  • Add the nutritional yeast and mix it up.
  • If the mixture is sticking to the pan, add spashes of water. The moistness really depends on how much water the tofu was retaining before you added it.
  • Grate the carrot into the tofu mixture and fold.
  • Serve with guacamole and salsa and potatoes and toast and tempeh bacon.
  • VARIATIONS:.
  • Tofu Rancheros: Add 1 cup of salsa at the end, cook for 1 minute extra.
  • Asian-Style Scrambled Tofu: Add 2 tablespoons of minced ginger with the garlic, use peanut oil instead of olive oil, substitute shiitake mushrooms, and omit the thyme and nutritional yeast. Mix in 1 cup of thinly sliced scallions at the very end.
