Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 block (14 oz) firm tofu, drained and crumbled
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 bell pepper, diced (any color)
  • 1 cup spinach, roughly chopped
  • 1 medium zucchini, diced
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh herbs (like cilantro or parsley), for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Tofu : Drain the tofu and wrap it in a clean towel to remove excess moisture. Crumble it into small pieces using your hands or a fork.
  2. Heat Oil : In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat.
  3. Sauté Onions : Add chopped onions to the skillet and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they become translucent.
  4. Add Bell Pepper : Toss in the diced bell pepper and continue to sauté for another 2-3 minutes until softened.
  5. Incorporate Zucchini : Add the diced zucchini to the skillet, stirring well. Cook for about 3 minutes.
  6. Mix in Spinach : Add the chopped spinach and cook for 1-2 minutes until wilted.
  7. Season Tofu : Push the vegetables to the side of the skillet and add the crumbled tofu in the center. Sprinkle with garlic powder, turmeric, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  8. Cook Thoroughly : Gently mix the tofu with the vegetables and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until heated through and slightly golden.
  9. Garnish : Remove from heat and garnish with fresh herbs, if desired.

Notes

  • Use fresh vegetables for the best flavor and nutrition.
  • Experiment with different spices like cumin, chili powder, or nutritional yeast.
  • Adjust tofu consistency by using extra-firm for a denser texture or soft/silken tofu for a creamier consistency.
  • Add a tablespoon of soy sauce for enhanced umami flavor.
  • Cook on medium heat to avoid burning and ensure light browning for texture.
  • This scramble can be customized with vegetables like carrots, kale, mushrooms, and tomatoes.
  • For a non-vegan option, add cheese; for a vegan alternative, use nutritional yeast or vegan cheese.
  • Serve with toasted bread, avocado slices, or fresh fruit.
  • Add salsa or hot sauce for an exciting kick.
  • Offer toppings like nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor or sprouted seeds for crunch.
