Look familiar? It should. I put together this delicious tofu breakfast scramble with the leftovers from the summer squash tacos. I don’t know about you, but I LOVE leftovers. I think as long as you think of the leftover as an ingredient and not something that you eat as a cold blob out of the fridge, you’re in for a treat. The taco filling as well as the very few sweet potatoes that were left went into the scramble.
I love tofu. It’s a versatile food and the perfect texture and flavor to use in a scramble. I typically have firm or extra firm tofu hanging out in the fridge just waiting for a day like this.
A tofu scramble is a great easy breakfast that you can throw together in a few minutes. First, I make the basic scrambled ‘egg’ part. This is great to eat by itself.
Then if you have any leftovers to add, you can really get creative. I added the squash taco filling and the sweet potatoes. There weren’t many sweet potatoes left.
My favorite toast is the Ezekiel Sesame bread, toasted with a little spread of Earth Balance. Mmm.
Top with avocado slices, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, or just a little salt and pepper. Keep in mind how much seasoning is in the leftover veggies. Taste test often and careful not to over salt.
- splash of olive oil for pan
- 1 split package of extra firm, sprouted, organic tofu (my favorite are only about 8oz)
- ¼ tsp turmeric
- ¼ tsp cumin
- ⅛ tsp Herbamare (or sea salt), +possibly more to taste
- Put the oil in a pan, and heat over medium heat.
- Open the 8oz package of tofu and drain the water in the sink.
- Squeeze the tofu to get any excess water out, but no need to press for any length of time.
- Crumble the tofu in the pan and use a spatula to further break down the block into smaller bits.
- Add the turmeric and stir to combine completely. Marvel at the yellow color.
- Add the cumin and Herbamare and continue to stir, using the spatula to break down the chunks.
- When the consistency/fluffiness is to your liking.
- You can eat the scramble now or add any leftover veggies you may have floating around in your fridge, say from those squash tacos or something else.
- Stir until vegetables are heated all the way through.
- Enjoy!
